When Asha Parekh spoke about her marriage story with Shammi Kapoor: 'He was having an affair with someone...'

Asha Parekh and Shammi Kapoor have shared screen space in many iconic movies like 'Teesri Manzil', 'Dil Deke Dekho' and more. Did you know there were also rumours that the two had gotten married. Recently, the veteran actress had shared the truth behind it and revealed what had actually happened.
Parekh spoke about how the marriage rumours started in an interview with Arbaaz Khan on 'The Invincibles Series season 2'. She said, "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 the marriage rumours). I said, ‘Yes, we are married.’ (Renowned journalist) Devyani Chaubal was also in the room. She heard the rumour.”
The veteran actress said, "He said, ‘Don’t tell anything.’ He was playing a prank (with everyone). At that time, he was having an affair with somebody. So that person got very upset.”
Meanwhile, in another interview, Asha Parekh had also revealed that she had never seen him upset, except for the time when his wife Geeta Bali passed away suddenly. She had said during a chat with Deccan Herald that he was very protective towards her and was shattered when she passed away.
Geeta Bali passed away in 1965. Later in 1969, Shammi married Neila Devi.
Earlier in an interview with ETimes, Neila Devi had said that Shammi had fallen in love with Geeta on a rebound on Nutan. "I think they fell in love on the rebound of Nutan (Nutan and Shammi Kapoor were in a relationship).Geeta Bali helped him to become Shammi Kapoor, The Rebel Star. It was on the sets of 'Rangeen Raaten' that they fell in love with each other. And then, they too got married in Banganga in the middle of one night. She didn't say 'yes' to him immediately, though. It is so sad that she died so soon," she said.
