Wouldn't have been able to handle stardom today: Asha Parekh
"It's just that I was getting mother's roles, bhabhi's roles, which I was not interested in doing. I gave it up. Where are the roles for ladies of our age? Where do they have movies which are based on them? Men have been lucky. Mr Amitabh Bachchan has been very lucky. He gets many author-backed roles to perform, so it's good," said Asha, who even directed the TV series "Kora Kagaz" and more.
Does she wish to wield the megaphone again?
"Hahaha... Let's see, I am not very keen to do anything now. I am feeling very lazy, so I want to laze around and be on my own," said the septuagenarian, agreeing that considering she started young in the film industry, she deserves to rest.
