Last year, Mumbai’s Bollywood Art Project (BAP) recently created a beautiful mural featuring yesteryear film actors Asha Parekh, Waheeda Rehman, and Helen in Bandra’s Chapel Road. The BAP has always been appreciated for painting Mumbai walls with the colours of Bollywood. This recent mural was completed in 17 days. Following which they shared several glimpses of the creative project via their Instagram handle.
Explaining his work, artist Ranjit Dahiya said that dedicating the wall to Bollywood’s living evergreen beauties is very precious to him. “We had done a beautiful painting of Sridevi and Madhubala earlier. However, after the uproar against Budweiser (for the advertisement featuring Lionell Messi), they commissioned a new painting from us. We thought what would be better than dedicating the wall to Ashaji, Waheedaji, and Helenji. They are still friends, and they encapsulate what Bollywood stands for,” Dahiya told The Indian Express.
