Asha Parekh is all set to turn 70 on 2 October (2012). She is planning a grand birthday bash at the Sun ‘n’ Sand where all her friends, well-wishers and colleagues from the film fraternity would gather to celebrate. But there’s a problem. Asha Parekh’s birthday happens to coincide with Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday. And as we all know the Mahatma was anti-alcohol. In deference to the Mahatma allegiance to teetotalism the powers-that-be have declared a non-alcohol day on 2 October.
