Flashback — Tracing Nanda's legacy: Waheeda Rehman, Asha Parekh recall about their 'recluse' friend
FirstpostNanda, who was part of the illustrious Mangeshkar family, never got her due. Nanda did make a belated attempt to break out of her doleful image with her shocking murderous avatar in Yash Chopra’s Ittefaq and as a drug addict in Naya Nasha. I remember how heartbroken Nanda’s two best friends Waheeda Rehman and Asha Parekh were on her death. Nanda Baaji used to say, ‘Dua karo jab mein jaaoon toh bina kisi taqleef ke.’ I also wished the same for Dilip Saab. Just pray that we remain healthy as long as we are here.” Nanda’s Most Popular Songs ‘Yeh Samaa samaa hai yeh pyar ka’ ‘Ek pyar ka naghma hai’ ‘Ja re kare badra’ ‘Kis liye main pyar kiya’ ‘Allah tero naam’ Subhash K Jha is a Patna-based film critic who has been writing about Bollywood for long enough to know the industry inside out.
