Even today, people remember Bollywood's veteran actress Asha Parekh for her excellent films and special style. During her time, her films used to be hit one after the other at the box office, so she was given the title of Jubilee Girl. In a recent interview, Asha Parekh spoke openly about her film journey and told how she created a different identity in the industry.
How did she become a Jubilee Girl?: In an interview to the media, Asha Parekh told that films used to sell just because of her name. She said, "People had faith in me, not my looks. I was the reason for the success of the film not because of my male co-stars but because of myself. I was lucky for the film producers and distributors because films used to sell just because of my name." Asha believed that people liked her because of her acting and charisma, not just because of her co-stars.
Unique style and strong personality: Asha Parekh initially faced criticism due to her glamorous image. Many people questioned her talent, but she proved her worth to everyone with strong performances in films like 'Do Badan,' 'Chirag,' and 'Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki.' Asha believed that women have more strength, intelligence and courage than men. She said that people should not trust them without knowing them well, because they can deceive.
Tomboy personality: Asha Parekh also talked about her personal life. She said that she had friendly relations with her male co-stars in the industry, but no one could even think of having an affair with her. She said, "I was a tomboy, happy-go-lucky, and everyone treated me like a friend. It depends on how you present yourself and how you behave with others."
This interview of Asha Parekh shows the untouched aspects of her life. Her films and her bold decisions of that time show that she was not only a successful actress but also a strong and independent-minded woman who made a unique identity for herself in her time.
