Asha Parekh recently revealed her thoughts on Kangana Ranaut’s claims about the absence of genuine friendships in Bollywood. During a conversation with News18 India event, she also expressed her disagreement with Kangana’s remarks, while pointing out that she has maintained strong and enduring friendships with her contemporaries Waheeda Rehman and Helen.
When the host asked about Kangana’s remarks about fake friendships in Bollywood, Asha Parekh disagreed and simply said, “Have you seen how close me Waheeda ji and Helen ji are? We have a strong friendship.” When asked if such strong friendships exist in Bollywood today, she added, “Ab woh Kangana ji se puchiye na, ki kyu nahi hai (Please ask Kangana why it doesn’t exist anymore)?” as the audience clapped.
The veteran actress then continued, “Aapne aisa kyu nahi pucha, ki aap aise kyu bol rahe hai? Aapne kisi se dosti ki hai ya nahi (Why didn’t you ask her why she said that? Has she tried to be friends with someone or not)?”
When the host suggested that Kangana perhaps spoke about her experience, Asha Parekh said, “It is a personal choice of everyone, whether they want to be friends with someone or not. So, you must ask her ki woh kyu nahi dosti karti? Mere saath toh bohot achchi hai woh (She is very good to me).”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kangana Ranaut is currently awaiting the release of her next, Tejas, scheduled to hit the big screens on October 27. The film, written and directed by Sarvesh Mewara, shows Kangana in the role of an Air Force Pilot.
