Still she tried a lot, but it really happened. Someone had predicted that if she gets married, it will not last. Mummy also did not believe it, so she used to say that this cannot happen. She had tried a lot to get me married, but it did not happen. In this event of 2017, Asha Parekh had said, I believed that having a good marriage is more important than getting married.
