Shabana Azmi opens up on Parveen Babi
Veteran actress Shabana Azmi recalled that she and Parveen Babi emerged popular in Bollywood around the same time and got to work with each other in films like Manmohan Desai’s directorial “Amar Akbar Anthony”and Prakash Mehra’s “Jwalamukhi”.
She revealed that Parveen Babi was a mainstream actress and while she was starting to enjoy her stardom, she was also learning to deal with her mental health problems. At the time, the world around her wasn’t equipped to help her in the right way so many of her contemporaries, couldn’t make sense of what she was going through.
In a recent interview, Shabana recounted the time when she worked with Parveen and how she started observing some changes in her.
She further went on to reveal that Filmfare’s YouTube channel, she literally saw Parveen Babi going mad in front of her eyes. They were doing a Prakash Mehra film, Jwalamukhi, and were on the set, and she suddenly looked to the chandelier and started screaming, ‘This chandelier is going to fall on me.’ Even on the sets of Ashanti, Shabana saw that Parveen was eating very little. She used to eat two grapes and say that she is bursting.
