"We worked together in one of her best films 'Ghunghat' in 1960. She played Bharat Bhushan's wife and she was fabulous. She won a Filmfare Award for her performance," Asha said.
"I remember Binaji was very, very introvert. I was the youngest person in the unit. She was my senior and intimidating. She wouldn't mix around and kept completely to herself on the sets. I remember once a co-star was getting a shot repeatedly wrong. The giggler that I am, I kept bursting into giggles. Binaji just stared at me, and then suddenly smiled softly. That was a rare moment of connectivity with her."
"Ghunghat" director Ramanand Sagar had got very upset with Asha. "After the incident, he scolded me saying I should know how to behave in front of someone as big as Bina Raiji."

Asha also lost another co-star, the little-known actress-producer Chandrakala who passed away suddenly on Dec 4 following a massive heart attack. Asha worked with Chandrakala in Nasir Husain's "Teesri Manzil".
"It happened so suddenly. I wasn't even in town," said Asha.
Besides doing bit roles, Chandrakala had also produced films like Dharmendra and Vyjanthimala starrer- "Pyar Hi Pyar" and "Anand".
