Parveen Babi-beauty of 70’s & 80’s

guys i used to love "PARVEEN BABI".she was a favorite co-star of Amitabh bachchan and they came together in lots of movies.

She passed away on 20th January'2005.just listing down some facts about her....

She was born in Junagadh on April 4, 1949 and did her early schooling in Aurangabad and later attended St. Xavier's College, Ahmedabad. Her father Vali Mohammed Babi, a Gujarati Muslim, was an administrator with the Nawab of Junagadh. Babi was born fourteen years after the marriage of her parents and was an only child.

Parveen was considered to be one of the most successful Bollywood actresses in the 1970s and was known for her portrayal of strong women who did not care about the conventional norms of society. She was the first Indian actress to have featured on TIME magazine's cover, in 1975. In her most successful films, she was paired opposite Amitabh Bachchan, who was one of the biggest stars of the decade, in big hits like Deewaar (1975) Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Shaan (1980), Kaalia (1981), and Khud-daar (1982).

It is speculated that Parveen Babi suffered from schizophrenia and had become a recluse. It also probable that she was not schizophrenic but had a persecution complex and withdrew from soceity and films.However, she managed to maintain her posh penthouse apartment in Mumbai and live affluently from sound financial investments. She was diabetic for most of her life. Parveen did not marry but shared intimate relationships with married men: director Mahesh Bhatt, actors Kabir Bedi, and Danny Denzongpa. Parveen was also rumoured to have a relationship with her co star Amitabh Bachchan. Mahesh Bhatt made Arth (1982), a semi-autobiographical film about his extra-marital relationship with Babi, and Woh Lamhe (2006) based on actual facts about his relationship with her. She was found dead from the complications of her untreated diabetes. When she was found dead, one of her feet had gangrene on it.Parveen most possibly died in her sleep of complications as foul play and suicide have been ruled out.

She was found dead in her Mumbai apartment on January 20, 2005 after her residential society secretary complained to the police that she had not collected milk and newspapers from her doorstep for two days.She was found to have gangrene of the foot as a complication of her diabetic condition. The police ruled out any foul play. She was buried next to her mother at Santa Cruz, in Mumbai on January 23, after her funeral was held according to Islamic rites.

May her soul rest in peace.

That movie was very loosely based on her life. Mahesh Bhatt took a lot of poetic liberty. But Kangana and Shiney's performances were like very experienced actors.

I think Parveen was very pretty!

this is so sad didnt she have anyone to take care of her?

No she was totally schizoid, paranoid and delusional and did not trust anyone. I think I read someplace that she did not leave her apartment for weeks on end. She might even have been dead a few days before they broke into the apartment. Yup really sad.
