- I became good friends with Asha Parekh, who is 16 years younger than me. I was a good friend of her mother Sudha Parekh... When her mother was very sick, she told me that her daughter was not married and she is all alone and who will take care of her after my death. I told her till the time I am alive, I will be with her.After her mother died, her aunt took care of her. Ever since she passed away, Asha is all alone and vulnerable. She has never been alone in her life. Somebody always looked after her all her life. She is child like. She has not seen the world and she is still learning. I meet Asha every day. We get along very well.
