Asha has remained unmarried, claiming that her reputation of being unapproachable made people hesitate in asking for her hand in marriage.There were rumours that she was romantically involved with her married director Nasir Hussain.In her later years, Asha said that she had a longtime boyfriend but declined to elaborate on the relationship, only stating that "it was nice while it lasted."She said she hadn't seen Nasir Hussain the last year of his life, as he became reclusive because of his wife's death,but she did speak to him the day before he died in 2002. In 2012, her best friend, eighty-three-year-old actor Shammi said that she stays with Asha, since Asha's domestic staff can help take care of her.
Today, she concentrates on her dance academy Kara Bhavan and the Asha Parekh Hospital in Santa Cruz, Mumbai, named in her honour because of her many humanitarian contributions.
