One of the biggest female stars of her era, Asha is quite adorable here with a face that registers every changing emotion like a wave crossing over it and with eyes that are as big as the moons of Saturn.
She is at her best when she is in the denial stage — refusing the overtures of some besotted male with a haughty cuteness, but when his persistence and songs eventually wear her resolve down, she unfortunately becomes only another Hindi heroine in love and loses that spark that sets her eyes on fire.
Being from a poor family (though one with a house that I sure wish I had!) and seeing opportunity also knocking on her door, Asha reluctantly plays along with this little misunderstanding even after the story is printed in the gossip pages of the newspaper.
