When Parveen Babi called Amitabh Bachchan ugly, she said – ‘This is the biggest joke for me’

Parveen Babi’s name was also in the list of the most beautiful and popular actresses of the 70’s and 80’s. Parveen Babi made her Bollywood debut with the film ‘Charitra’. After this he never looked back. Within no time she became a superstar actress of Bollywood. People were impressed by her beauty. But when he left the industry after a few years of career, he gave many interviews. He had targeted Amitabh Bachchan in almost every interview.

The pairing of Amitabh Bachchan and Parveen Babi was once considered an iconic pair. The film in which both of them worked together was always a super hit. But there was a time when Parveen Babi felt that Amitabh wanted to take her life. In such a situation, once Parveen had come as a guest on Shekhar Suman’s most popular show ‘Movers and Shakers’ in the 90s, then she had raised questions on the beauty of Amitabh Bachchan.

During this show, Parveen had called Amitabh Bachchan’s nomination as the 10th Most Handsome Indian Man as a big joke. Parveen had said, ‘When Mr. Amitabh Bachchan was nominated as the tenth most handsome man of the century, it was the biggest joke for me. Now, with all due respect, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan was always known for his acting and not for his beauty. There are other actors who are better and handsome than Amitabh like Dev Anand, Firoz Khan, Shammi Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Rishi Raj Kapoor and even Sanjay Gandhi is more handsome than Amitabh Bachchan. This is like the biggest joke of the century for me.

Let us tell you that Parveen Babi has worked with Amitabh Bachchan in many films like Namak Halal, Deewar, Amar Akbar Anthony, Kala Patthar. The audience liked their pairing very much. As good as the beginning of Parveen Babi’s career and life was, her end was even more tragic. Parveen was suffering from an incurable disease called paranoid schizophrenia. Because of which she used to say strange things. Due to this disease, Parveen died on 20 January 2005. His dead body was rotting in his Juhu apartment. The neighbors came to know about this when the foul smell started coming from their house.
