SRINAGAR: In a heartwarming turn of events, three legendary Bollywood actresses—Asha Parekh, Helen, and Waheeda Rehman—have been enjoying a well-deserved vacation in the beautiful city of Srinagar. Known for their iconic roles in the golden era of Bollywood, the trio has often romanced the meadows and sets of Kashmir in their films. Now, they return to the region not for work, but to savour the beauty they had little time to enjoy during their bustling careers.

Veteran actress Asha Parekh took to Instagram to share a glimpse of their idyllic retreat. In one photo, the trio is seen enjoying a lavish spread in a garden. Captioned “With my dear friends #Helenji & #Waheedaji in Srinagar♥️”, Parekh dazzles in a pink outfit, while Helen dons a bottle green kurta with a white dupatta, and Rehman sports a chic graphic print shirt.

This scenic vacation spot, known for its mesmerising landscapes, has inspired many, and Parekh’s posts are no exception.

The golden trio has stirred a wave of nostalgia among fans, especially after a photo of them on a houseboat went viral. Parekh shared the picture, showing them against the backdrop of ornately carved wooden interiors, complete with a regal chandelier. The caption read, “Enjoying the houseboat in Srinagar,” along with hashtags like #FriendsForEver and #MakingMemories.

Fans flooded Parekh’s comments section with admiration. One user exclaimed, “Triveni Sangam. 3 unmatched, unparalleled dancing Queens of the 60s & ’70s have come together. What a fantastic moment!” Another commented, “Vintage queens!!” A third shared, “Seeing all of you together makes my heart relax. I wish that time would come again when you went to Kashmir for shooting.”

In another snapshot, the trio enjoyed lunch at the Lalit Grand Palace, exuding an air of royalty. The post was captioned, “With my dear friends #Helenji & #Waheedaji in Srinagar,” and attracted comments reminiscing about other Bollywood legends like Sadhana, Nanda, and Shammi Aunty.

Asha Parekh’s early start in Bollywood with the 1952 film Maa, directed by Bimal Roy, set the stage for a stellar career. Helen, who continues to inspire even at the age of 85, recently shared a video of her pilates routine. “I am feeling so energetic, so alive, so happy,” she expressed, highlighting the benefits of her fitness regimen.
