Salman Khan launches Asha Parekh’s biography titled The Hit Girl

After returning from his family vacation to Maldives, today, Salman Khan was spotted at the book launch of yesteryear’s female superstar Asha Parekh.

The biography titled ‘The Hit Girl’ focuses mainly on the evergreen beauty’s ups and downs in her career and personal life and it has been penned by veteran film critic Khalid Mohamed. But the highlight of the book is that our dear Dabangg Khan has written the foreward to the biography.

Looks like Salman Khan and Asha Parekh decided to color coordinate at the book launch and while Salman, wearing an all-black suit, looked his handsome best, Asha Parekh, too, made for a pretty picture.

In an interview to a leading daily, Asha Parekh was quoted as saying, “This is something I wanted to do but hadn’t gotten down to doing for a very long time. My good friend journalist Khalid Mohamed, whom I’ve known for years, helped me to do it. I hope the book is liked.”

Talking at the book launch, Salman Khan said, “Asha Aunty, thank you very much, I don’t deserve being here, paseene chot rahe hai, kya bolu. I think it’s a very this thing for any one to write their own biography, mujhse toh life mein kabhi na ho.”  

Asha Parekh, known as the hit-girl of 1960s for her string of successful movies, shares a special history with Salman Khan because Salman’s mother, Helen, shares a very close bond with Asha Parekh. In another interview to a leading daily, Khalid Mohamed was quoted as saying, “Asha Parekh was the trade’s delight. She gave a round of hits all through the ‘60s and early ‘70s. She was a great actor, and an excellent dance, both western and Indian. Then, this JB Petit girl went on to head many film bodies, including the Censor Board.”
