Superstar Salman Khan was to write a foreword for
veteran actress Asha Parekh in her autobiography The Hit Girl is
something that has been known to all for quite some time now.
Today, we got our hands on the foreword that Khan has
written for the beautiful actress and it is heartwarming to say the least. In
the foreword, Salman writes about Asha Parekh's journey and her choice of movies
over the years. He explains the kind of roles she picked up and her sizzling
chemistry with co-stars like Shammi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna and Dev Anand.
He starts the foreword by writing, "They don't make
them like her any more. Perhaps that is stating the obvious but my generation
and the later ones have missed out on the great era f our movies when stories
of innocence and grace ruled the screen, when boy-met-girl stories were
wonderful, feel-good entertainers. No compromises, no need for self-publicity
24x7, no catering to a single screen or a multuplex audience."
He then praises the actress by telling, "In fact, Asha
Parekh, Ashaji represented the swinging era of the 1960s. An all-rounder, she
was especially good at dance numbers, had a flair for comedy, emoted simply and
effortlessly. Een it situations in the screepplay were incredible, she made
them credible by never going over the top. She was the darling not only of the
audience but also of film producers and directors who would rush to sign her on
for a movie since she guaranteed box-office success."
Salman in the ending part, also talks about his equation
with Asha Parekh. "All of us Khans have been blessed. Ashaji has been a
family friend. We may not see her regularly but we know she is there for us,
and we are there for her, just a phone call away. She joins us for our festive
celebrations for the Ganpati Puja, Christmas and Eid. She has treated my
brothers Arbaaz and Sohail, and sisters Alvira and Arpita, like kids. She has
watced us grow up. She has never been judgemental, she has been a part of our
high phases and low," discloses Salman.
The book will be uncovered by Salman this week in Mumbai.
