The song 'Besharam Rang' from Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Pathan' has left everyone in splits. Some giggled and some were talking nonsense. Even big and famous actors turned against it. People started protesting at various places. Amidst the uproar over Deepika Padukone's 'bikini', Bollywood veteran actress Asha Parekh has also reacted and expressed her anger openly.
Known for her grace and elegance, actress Asha Parekh has millions of fans. People were attracted to her beauty. In the same year, he was also awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. Now he had talked about his life's journey in a special conversation with Aaj Tak.com. Also spoke on the Pathan controversy. He also mentioned about melody au pyar disappearing from films.
Asha Paresh said on the condition of the current films – In the entertainment films, the poor actresses do not get anything to do. Yes there are some women oriented films which are worth appreciating. But in the big films being made today, the role of actresses has become very small. He is getting less screen space. It has been a mail dominated industry so I want to see a change in it.
Asha Paresh said that now both love and melody have disappeared in cinema. The story is dying. The soul of the film is not there at all. If the content is not good then it does not work. My film Chirag, in which I played the role of Andhi. I loved that movie. But the audience didn't like it. People used to say why I have been made blind in this. Even then it was very difficult to understand the mind of the audience.
Asha Parekh said that the Bollywood industry is dying. Now if any actress has worn orange color or has been named something like that, then they are banning her. It doesn't look good. Movies are not playing at all. The situation is already bad and on top of that now boycott and ban have come, which is only causing loss. People are not going to theaters just like that. If such films keep getting beaten then how will another one be made. In such a situation, the industry itself will end.
Asha Parekh was asked about the ruckus on the song 'Pathan', to which she said that the ruckus here was not on the bikini but on its colour. People are raising questions about Orange bikini. In such a situation, he says that now our mind is getting closed. We are becoming very small minded which is wrong. Bollywood has always been an easy target for people.
