The actor, who has worked in several hit films in the 1960s and 1970s, remained unmarried after reaching the heights of success in the Hindi film industry. Some of her most successful films are Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai, Dil Deke Dekho, Teesri Manzil, Love in Tokyo, Aaye Din Bahar Ke, and Kati Patang.

Talking about not getting married, the 79-year-old icon told Harper’s Bazaar India, “I guess I was not destined to get married. Honestly, I would have loved to get married and have children, but it wasn’t meant to be. However, I have absolutely no regrets.”

Asha has said in her interviews that her reputation of being unapproachable made people hesitate in asking for her hand in marriage. She had earlier confirmed falling for an already married filmmaker but didn’t marry him as she didn’t want to be a homewrecker.

Asha is one of the most beautiful actors of her time and continues to have a strong fan following even today. On looking beautiful even now, the actor told Harper’s Bazaar India, “I have always believed—and continue to believe—that beauty resides within the person. If you are happy, you’ll shine…and if you are unhappy, it will show on your face.”

The actor continues to remain in touch with her friends from the industry. She celebrated her birthday last year with veteran actors Waheeda Rahman and Jackie Shroff.
