Bollywood industry is indebted to her for her brilliant performance in various films. She started her career opposite Shammi Kapoor in the film Dil Deke Dekho in 1959. The film did great business with hit songs composed by Usha Khanna including “dil deke dekho” sung by Rafi. After that she acted in musical blockbusters most of which were directed by Nasir Hussain. She was sublime in the film Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai opposite Dev Anand.

Vikash Bhalla.

Actor and serial star Vikash Bhalla had been eliminated from Zee TV Star Ya Rockstar Program held on 23rd October, 2011. He had sung very well for the last 3 weeks.

All the participants did extremely well during Shammi Kapoor night before Asha Parekh on 22nd October, 2011. Participant Sumeet Raghavan said that he was sad about him always being less votes by the public. He said if Alisha Chinoy and Anu Malik had appreciated him for his performance in the previous 2 weeks, there was no reason why should have been there in the bottom two.


Two weeks back he sang Mohammad Rafi’s song “tum jo mil gaye ho to yeh lagta hai ke jahan mil gaya” from the film Hanste Zakhm composed by Madanmohan Kohli. On the following week he sang Mohammad Rafi’s song “kya hua tera wada” from the film Hum Kisi Se Kam Nahin. Both Alisha Chinoy and Anu Malik appreciated him a lot.

Mansie Parekh and Sachin were adjudicated as best two singers of the week. The judges liked them a lot. Anu Malik and Alisha Chinoy had loved the participants and encouraged them at every level.

Songs in the films of Asha Parekh.

Songs in the films of Asha Parekh.

Asha Parekh had maintained her popularity over 15 years ranging from late 50s to early 70s. If her outstanding dance performances were the key to her success then the melodious songs that were picturised on her had also contributed for the popularity of the films. The songs “nazni bara rangeen hai wada tera” sung by Asha and Rafi, “zulf ke chaon me chehre ka ujala lekar” sung by Asha and Rafi, composed by OP Nayyar in the film Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon in 1963 and picturised on Asha Parekh and Joy Mukherjee were super hits. In fact all the songs of Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon like “banda parwar, thamlo jigar”, “aji kibla mohe tarma”, “anchal me saja lena kaliyan” sung by Rafi stormed bollywood in early 60s. Similarly the songs “jaiye aap”, sung by Asha Bhosle, “roka kaibaar” sung by Asha and Rafi, composed by OP Nayyar in the film Mere Sanam in 1965 and picturised on Asha Parekh and Biswajeet became everlasting hit in mid-60s.

From that time viewers went to watch Asha Parekh’s films with the predetermination of hearing good songs. Shankar Jaikishan mesmerized his audience with outstanding composition of songs in the film Love in Tokyo. Lata’s songs “sayonara, sayonara”, “o mere shahekhuba”, “hume tum mil gaye humdum”, “koi matwala aaja mere dware”, picturised on Asha Parekh and Joy Mukherjee created a lasting impression in the minds of the viewers along with Rafi’s hit songs “aja re a zara a”, “Japan, love in Tokyo”, “o mere shahekhuba”, etc. Asha Parekh’s dream run continued with the songs “tum mujhe yun bhula na poyege” sung by Lata and Rafi and picturised separately on Asha Parekh and Shammi Kapoor in the film Pagla Kahin Ka. Shankar Jaikishan’s composition for Asha Parekh and Dev Anand in the film Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai, including songs like “sau saal pehle”, “yeh aankhen”, sung by Lata and Rafi became super hit along with the hit songs of Rafi like “teri zulfon ki”, “jiya ho”, etc. Even in Teesri Manzil, RD Burman’s music and Asha Bhosle’s songs picturised on Asha Parekh like “o mere sona re”, “aaja aaja mai hoon pyar tera” sung by Rafi as well became smash hits in the mid -60s.

Even the songs in the film Chirag composed by Madan Mohan enchanted the audience. The notable songs included “chirag dil ka jalao”, “teri aankhon ke siva duniya me rakha kya hai” sung separately by Lata and Rafi and picturised on Sunil Dutt and Asha Parekh separately. LP’s composition for Asha Parekh in the film Aan Milo Sajna, became super hit including songs like “aan milo sajna” sung by Rafi and Lata and picturised on Asha Parekh and Rajesh Khanna, “accha to hum chalte hai” sung by Lata and Kishore.

With passage of time Asha Parekh had acted with new actors in the early 70s and music again played a notable role in the success of her films. In the film Karwa, the song “kitna pyara wada”, sung by Rafi and Lata, composed by RD Burman became super hit along with other songs sung by Rafi and picturised on Jeetender like “are ho goriyan kahan tera desh re”. LP’s composition for Asha Parekh and Dharmender in the film Aya Sawan Jhumke, including the song “aya sawan jhumke” sung by Rafi and Lata became big hits.

If all the films of Asha Parekh are analysed write from Dil Deke Dekho in 1959, where music was composed by Usha Khanna, to Ziddi where music was composed by SD Burman and Zakhmee in the mid-70s, where music was composed by Bappi Lahiri, the change of directors, producers, music composers, had not affected Asha Parekh’s fortunes of giving lips in successful songs.

The songs and the films are special and require restoration.
