With her performance in "Do Badan," Asha Parekh distinguished herself as an actress by displaying sincerity and compassion.
Digital Desk: As a legendary actress, Asha Parekh turned 80 on Sunday, it was a triumphant moment on September 30, 2022, as she was awarded the highest honour in Indian cinema, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. Asha Parekh received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002 and the Padma Shri in 1992.
Asha Parekh is the first woman to serve as Chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Asha Parekh, who was born on October 2, 1942, to mixed parents, shares her birthdate with Mahatma Gandhi. Perhaps this explains her charitable nature. She established a hospital as well as the Asha Parekh Research Centre.
Asha Parekh has become a symbol of Composite Indian Culture. Asha Parekh exhibited an elegance that became synonymous with her screen character.
Asha Parekh, a legend, super-star, and highest-paid actress, set the standard for glamour on the silver screen. She made romance timeless in Hindi cinema.
Jaaiye aap kahaan jaayenge, yeh nazar laut ke phir aayegi in Mere Sanam; Aankhon se jo utri hain dil mein, tasveer hai ek anjaane ki, khud dhund rahen hain shama jise, kya baat hai us parwaane ki in Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hun; Ek baar zara phir keh do, mujhe sharma ke tum deewana in Bin Badal Barsaat; Yeh kali jab talak phool banke khile, intezaar karo in Aaye Din Bahaar Ke; and Lo aagayee unki yaad, woh nahi aaye are some of her legendarily renowned work.
Asha Parekh is a professional dancer. Her dances astounded her spectators. Filmmakers were required to add a dance routine by Asha Parekh.
Some of her wonderful and fascinating dance routines include Tum jaise big de babu se main ankhiyan milaaun in Jab Pyaar Kisi Se Hota Hai; Yeh meri zindgi, ek paagal hawa and Raat ka sama, jhoome chandrama, tan mora naachere jaise bijuria in Ziddi; and Koi matwal.
Asha Parekh, for example, takes her love of dance very seriously. She used to take breaks from acting to go on international tours with her dance ensemble.
Asha Parekh was the mascot of Hindi cinema's Golden Era. Back then, a film could be sold just on the power of her name. Back then, film directors would sign her first and then go after the hero. That was when she could pull off a jubilee hit.
Bimal Roy discovered Asha Parekh after seeing her perform on stage. In 1952, he cast Asha Parekh as a child artist in Maa, and in 1954, he cast her as a child artist in Baap Beti. Renowned film producer Shashadhar Mukherjee and writer-director Nasir Hussain gave her the major break in Dil Deke Dekho in 1959, which catapulted her to the top of the Hindi cinema industry.
However, it was with Do Badan in 1966 that she was able to establish herself as an actress. It was a tragic love story in the mould of Laila-Majnu. It provided her the opportunity to establish herself as a serious star. She may show poignancy and melancholy in the song sequences Jab chali thandi hawa, jab jhuki kaali ghata, mujh ko aie jaan-e-wafa tum yaad aaye and Lo aagayee unki yaad, woh nahi aaye.
Kati Patang, released in 1970, featured a deglamorized Asha Parekh. She later won a Filmfare Award for Best Actress.
Asha Parekh has always seen herself as a member of the superstars like Saira Bano and Sharmila Tagore who take risks and resist stereotypes.
