She was the main lead in successful films like ''Hifazat'' (1973) and ''Ek Hi Raasta'' (1977). The song "Jis Kaam Ko Dono Aye Hai", picturised on her and Jeetendra from the film ''Ek Hi Raasta'' (1977), sung by [[Kishore Kumar]] and [[Asha Bhosle]] and composed by Rajesh Roshan still remains popular
And her popular quavali song " pal do pal Ka " from film Burning Train by Mohammed Rafi and Asha bhosle on the lips of all retro enthusiasts ..

==Career==
Asha was an alumna of the [[Film and Television Institute of India]], Pune and joined Bollywood. She began her career in a low-budget film ''[[Double Cross (1972 film)|Double Cross]]'' in 1972, wherein she played a bold and dynamic role, however the film was a flop. She got the main leading role in ''Hifazat'' (1973) and the film was appreciated for her good performance and the songs, especially "Yeh Mastaani Dagar" and "Hamrahi Mera Pyar", which became popular. Somehow the image stuck and thereafter she was offered only supporting and bold characters. Her bare dare appearance in red hot pants in the Navin Nishchol-[[Rekha]] star thriller ''[[Woh Main Nahin]]'' (1974), which was remake of ''Naan Avan Illai'', created a storm and she was flooded with item dance offers and vamp roles.

She occasionally received offers in the leading role - like in ''Agent Vinod'' and ''Ek Hi Raasta'' (1977), which became hits. She won the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for her role as [[Neetu Singh]]'s best friend in ''[[Priyatama]]'' in 1978. In the role, she wore a simple saree and was bespectacled throughout the film. Some of her notable films are ''Mama Bhanja'', ''Lafange'', ''Mehbooba'', ''[[Satte Pe Satta]]'', ''Duniya Meri Jeb Mein'', ''The Burning Train'', ''Judaai'', ''Prem Rog'' and ''Eeshwar''. In the late 80s, she moved to television, acting in serials throughout the 90s.

She made a comeback to films later in the 2000s and was seen playing character roles in films like ''Fiza, Aghaaz, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom'' and ''Aaja Nachle''. In television, she worked in the early soap opera, ''[[Buniyaad]]'' (1986), and in 2008, she also appeared in TV series, ''[[Jugni Chali Jalandhar]]'' on SAB TV, with actor [[Ranjeet]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Ranjeet's little secret is out |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2008-12-23/tv/27911962_1_ranjeet-baba-sehgal-sets |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103033605/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2008-12-23/tv/27911962_1_ranjeet-baba-sehgal-sets |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 November 2013 |date=23 December 2008 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=23 April 2013}}</ref>
