Bollywood
superstar
Salman
Khan
will
formally
release
veteran
actress
Asha
Parekh's
autobiography,
''The
Hit
Girl'',
on
April
10.
Asha
Parekh,
known
as
the
'hit
girl'
of
the
1960s
for
her
nearly-unbroken
string
of
successful
films,
shares
a
very
special
history
with
Salman
Khan's
family.
Salman
Khan's
father
writer
Salim
Khan's
second
wife
Helen
was
a
close
friend
of
Asha
Parekh
and
her
girl
gang
of
Waheeda
Reman,
Nanda,
Sadhana
and
veteran
character-actress
Shammi.
The
entire
society
of
iconic
sisterhood
would
often
be
seen
at
film
previews
organised
by
Salman
Khan's
father.
"Now
Sadhana
and
Nanda
are
gone.
It's
just
Helen,
Waheeda,
Shammi
Aunty
and
me," sighs
Asha,
not
prone
to
succumb
to
defeatism
or
pessimism.
It
is
this
never-say-die
spirit
that
the
autobiography
titled
"The
Hit
Girl" brings
forward.
"This
is
something
I
wanted
to
do,
but
hadn't
gotten
down
to
doing
for
a
very
long
time.
My
good
friend
and
journalist
Khalid
Mohammed,
whom
I've
known
for
years,
helped
me
to
do
it.
I
hope
the
book
is
liked,"
she
said.
