Bollywood actor Salman Khan will formally release veteran actress Asha Parekh’s autobiography, The Hit Girl, in Mumbai on April 10.
Parekh, known as the ‘hit girl’ of the 1960s for her nearly unbroken string of successful films, shares a special history with Khan’s family.
Khan’s stepmother Helen was a close friend of Parekh and her girl gang of Waheeda Reman, Nanda, Sadhana and veteran actress Shammi.
The entire society of iconic sisterhood would often be seen at film previews organised by Khan’s father, Salim.
“Now Sadhana and Nanda are gone. It’s just Helen, Waheeda, Shammi Aunty and me,” said Parekh.
“This [book is] something I wanted to do, but hadn’t gotten down to doing for a very long time. My good friend and journalist Khalid Mohammad, whom I’ve known for years, helped me to do it. I hope the book is liked,” she said.
