When Asha Parekh addressed her marriage rumours with Shammi Kapoor: 'He was having an affair with…'

Asha Parekh once appeared on The Invincibles Series Season 2, hosted by Arbaaz Khan, and addressed the rumours that she was married to veteran actor and her co-star Shammi Kapoor.

The actress revealed, “This is a long story. We were shooting in Mahabaleshwar, and I don’t know what came upon Om Prakash ji; he declared that Shammi and I are married. Then there was a party at Mr Nasser Hussain’s place; people started whispering (about marriage rumours). I said, ‘Yes, we are married.’ Journalist Devyani Chaubal was also in the room. She heard the rumour.”

Parekh added, “He said, ‘Don’t tell anything.’ He was playing a prank. At that time, he was having an affair with somebody. So that person got very upset.”
