For the last many years, we continued to see Bollywood actors and actresses holiday in Maldives. As a refreshing breath of fresh air, fans on social media have now spotted three evergreen actresses that ruled the marquee in the golden era of Hindi Cinema holiday together- Waheeda Rehman, Helen, and Asha Parekh.
Film producer Tanuj Garg shared some pictures where the actresses could be seen on a holiday in the Andamans. The caption was apt- "If "Dil Chahta Hai" were to get remade with three grand dames, it would be with these #legends - Waheeda Rehman, Asha Parekh and Helen." [SIC]

For Helen, Dixit had this to share:
And for Asha Parekh, this is what the âRam Lakhan' actress posted:
Last year in February, Waheeda Rehman was conferred with Madhya Pradesh government's prestigious Kishore Kumar Award for 2018\. Madhya Pradesh culture minister Dr Vijaylaxmi Sadho presented the award to the actor at the latter's residence in Bandra in Mumbai, a public relation department official said.
The award carries a cash prize of Rs 2 lakh and a citation, he said. The 82-year-old actor was unable to attend the award function at Khandwa town last October on the birth anniversary of legendary actor-singer Kishore Kumar, the official said. Saho also wished Rehman on her birthday, which falls on February 3, he said. Madhya Pradesh culture department's principal secretary Pankaj Raag was also present on the occasion, he added.
