Salman Khan played the perfect gentleman at the launch of
evergreen Bollywood diva Asha Parekh’s biography The Hit Girl.
The book is a collaboration between Asha Parekh and film
critic Khalid Mohamed (author) and Salman Khan has written the foreword to it.

“Asha Aunty has been very dear to us. We lived in the
same compound, Helen aunty, my mother, they have all been so close which
today’s girls should understand. Saira aunty, Shammi aunty, Sadhana aunty, all
of them have been really, really close and you don’t see that anymore. I think
that is the best quality about that generation and we have lost that quality,”
said Salman.
Then, making a cheeky reference to his own headline
grabbing,on-off friendship with Shah Rukh Khan, Salman said with a smile, “We
become friends...again but they were never not friends, since the time they
came into the film industry. They have always been together. Nanda aunty is not
with us anymore but she and Waheeda aunty were the thickest of friends,” continued
Salman.
The Hit Girl details the highs and lows of Asha Parekh’s
life. The silver screen enigma’s professional and personal victories are sure
to make for a riveting read. Are our modern leading ladies taking note?
