Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki was a huge success, and it won the masses. In this film, Asha Parekh played the role of Tulsi, the hero’s second wife. The film’s success was so huge that many women started writing letters to Asha, addressing her as "Tulsi." Asha responded to every letter. Most of the women asked her if she would ever become someone’s second wife in real life. Asha firmly replied, “I will never be the other woman (souten) in someone’s life.”
3.Why Asha Parekh remained single for life
Asha Parekh is now 82 years old and single. Despite being among the biggest stars in the 60s and 70s, Asha was never in the news for her romantic affairs. She fell in love with only one man, and he was the popular film director Nasir Hussain.
4.Asha Parekh on her love for Nasir Hussain
Asha Parekh’s autobiography The Hit Girl shares many interesting stories from her life, including personal joys and struggles. During the book’s launch, she revealed that the only man she ever loved was filmmaker Nasir Hussain. She said, “If I don’t mention the people who meant something to me, there’s no point in writing my story.”
5.Asha Parekh on why she never got married
Despite the age difference between them, Asha deeply cared for Nasir. However, she never wanted to come between him and his family. In an interview, she said, “I didn’t want to break anyone’s home.” In another interview, Asha joked about her single status and said, "Marriages are made by God, but maybe He forgot to make mine." At an event in 2017, Asha said, “For me, a good marriage mattered more than just getting married. I didn’t want to marry just for the sake of having that title.”
These days, she enjoys travelling with her close friends like Helen and Waheeda Rehman. Thanks to Helen, Asha also shares a warm bond with Salman Khan’s family.
