Yesteryear Actress Asha Parekh On Staying Single: “I Met My Share Of Boys But The End Result Was Always The Same”

Legendary actress Asha Parekh has shared personal detail about her life. She has revealed why she chose to remain single all her life.

“I know I admitted to being in love with Nasir Hussain in ‘The Hit Girl’, but as much as I loved him, I could never consider breaking up his family and traumatising his children. It was far simpler and satisfying to be on my own,” Parekh said in an interview with Verve.

“Make no mistake, it wasn’t like I didn’t want to get married. In fact, my mother was very keen on it and had even assembled my trousseau in advance. I met my share of boys but the end result was always the same – they weren’t the right kind of men for me. Over time, my mother also gave up her dream of seeing me as a bride because whomever she showed my horoscope to would say my marriage wouldn’t be a successful one. It was not the kind of thing I believed in, but it did grant me some semblance of peace,” she added.

The 77-year-old also shared her views on how today’s generation look at love.
