Few have the privilege of spending their formative years with Lata Mangeshkar. Of the joy of eating food cooked out of her hands. Waking up to her morning ragas along with the choir of the birds. Or even being gifted an idol of Lord Shiva. But Pyarelal of the famed composer duo Laxmikant-Pyarelal did. An association, which began when he was just a boy bowing the violin to survive, went on to create a musical legacy.
The year 1966 turned out to be memorable for Asha Parekh. First came Nasir Hussain’s Teesri Manzil, where she played Sunita opposite Rocky (Shammi Kapoor). While her performance was lauded, she also appeared in the iconic songs ‘Aaja aaja main hoon pyaar tera’, ‘O mere sona re’ and ‘Deewana mujhsa nahin’.
Veteran Bollywood star Dharmendra had some new visitors – monkeys, in his farmhouse.
Dharmendra took to Instagram, where he shared a video of the monkeys sitting on the grill of his house and he captioned: “Dosto , Jungle main…. pehley peacocks ayee kha pi kar chaltee bane …. ab ye janab aa gaye hain….. jaane kiya karen ge ……(Friends after peacocks came and ate now these guys have come, don’t know what will they do.)”
