This is so very unbelievable. Just as when one thought that the Bollywood was in safe hands like Asha ji, there came the sad and shocking news about her passing away’, another user wrote, ‘Someone please tell me that this news is untrue. Arre yaar! I just saw the Prabhas film Adipurish a few days back and I was so happy to see Asha ji work in the film even at this age. This is just not done at all’.
Another user wrote, ‘Even though there are the present breed of Bollywood actresses who are holding the fort today, one just cannot deny or change the fact that Bollywood was made brick by brick by the people like Farida Jalal, Asha Sharma and others. Shame on today’s actresses who think that by revealing they will work up their way to the top. I really want them all to have a look at the work of Asha mam. They will come to know, "talent fashionable kapdon ki motaaj nahi hai”!
The (late) actress Asha Sharma was recently seen in the Prabhas starrer Adipurush, wherein she had played the role of Shabari.
