73
year old veteran Bollywood actress Asha Parekh has defied the Union Minister
Nitin Gadkari’s alleged remark of her pleading him to lobby Padma Bhushan Award!
She has expressed pain and discontent at the irresponsible remark by a
responsible minister for tarnishing her lifelong unstained career!!!
It
may be remembered recently at an event in Nagpur Nitin Gadkari had made the
outrageous revelation how the eminent top star of the 60’s Asha Parekh had
claimed 12 floors of his building (as the lift was not functional) and begged
to lobby India’s second highest Civilian Honor Padma Bhushan for her, despite
being awarded Padma Shri!
The
media went berserk, caring a damn to seek the reaction of the senior actress.
However recently a leading TV channel spoke to the legendary actress who peeved
at Gadkari’s humiliating remark for maligning her name in the Padma Bhushan
award controversy retorted, “I am pained at the disgusting statement of Mr.
Nitin Gadkari.”
“I
have never lobbied for Padma Bhushan award. I don't want to say anything more
than this," said Ms Parekh looking depressing and sad.
A
look at the illustrious graph of Asha Parekh reveals that the actress does not
need a Padma award to decorate her career because her career itself is studded
with multiple jubilee hits like DO BADAN , LOVE IN TOKYO , TEESRI MANZIL , MERE
SANAM, CARAVAN , MERA GAON, KATI PATANG and MAIN TULSI TERE AANGAN KI, KALIYA
etc
In
addition she has been honored with multiple awards like Filmfare Best Actress
Award for KATI PATANG, Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award (2002), International Indian Film Academy Awards for
outstanding achievement in Indian cinema (2006), Pune International Film
Festival--Lifetime Achievement Award (2007) Bollywood Award--Lifetime
Achievement Award (2007) and of course the government of India’s Padma Shri.
