Whatever happened to Jassi? Kahan ho tum?

[jassi]

very much here

well i think ranjeeta was having her own place between 70s top names like hema,zeenat,rakhee,rekha,reena,parveen etc and 80s top names like jayaprada,poonam,padmini etc..
she did not end up like vidya,rameshwari or zarina..but hold her position in bollywood...i think she is an underrated actress,she deserved little more

hello friends,

I was gonna erm put up my guest lists here, but came across this, so I tought I must share with U.

If U've not seen this, it a must, Amitabh Bachan fans just beware though



I've never really taken any interest in their personal or cellebrity status, gossips, etc rumours have always been there but this is sooooo in your face

Parveen is soooo intelligent and articulate

I thought the interviewer was absolutely useless, soo many missed opportunities....Parveen wanted to spill all the beans, but was not allowed to, by this stupid, stupid, stupid thick bone headed interviewer

this could have been sensational interview, shame about her medical condition etc

She would have been a fantastic chat show host, Simi is a waste of space (had to throw that one in ) a coconut

can some one elaborate on this tiff, I thought they were doing each other for a while

[jassi]

i have this collection of pics in a yahoo group
and also at some russian sites..
