Veteran actor Asha Parekh was, on Friday, honored with the Dada Saheb Phalke award, the highest recognition in the field of Indian cinema.

The veteran said she is grateful to receive the prestigious award a day before her 80th birthday.
"It is a huge honour to have received the Dada Saheb Phalke award. It makes me very grateful that the recognition comes to me just one day before my 80th birthday. This is the best honour I could get from the Government of India. I would like to thank the jury for the recognition that they have bestowed upon me, my long journey and fulfilling the journey in the film industry," said Parekh, who is the recipient of the award for the year 2020. Describing the Indian film industry as the ‘best place’ to be in, the actor said she continues to be attached to the movies in her own small way even after 60 years.
