Remembering Pretty Parveen
What a beauty she was!!
Parveen babi was the Queen of Bollywood in 70s. She reached the zenith of her career in early 70s. She gave box office hits like Deewar, Namak Halaal, Amar Akbar Anthony and Shaan.
She had love affairs with director Mahesh Bhatt, actors Kabir Bedi, and Danny. But after her break up with Danny she seemed to be mentally finished. Shattered and shaken Babi continues with her work.
During the shoot of Shaan, she had an attack of schizophrenia, a disease in which men think that they would be killed by someone near to their heart. Her success did not run into the mid-eighties as she had left the film industry to move to New York in 1983. She returned to Mumbai in 1992. But the diva Parveen Babi was lost in an overweight unsocial lady. She confined herself in her own world and breaks off all relationship with Bollywood.
Mahesh Bhatt made three films on his and Babi’s relationship. The first one is Arth, which stars Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil, the second film is Phir Teri Kahani Yaad ayi, which stars Puja Bhatt and Rahul Roy, and the third one is Woh Lamhe, Shiney Ahuja and Kangana Ranaut. Mahesh himself admitted that Woh Lamhe was the real story of Babi and Mahesh.
Sadly, She was found dead in her alone Mumbai apartment.
