Mahesh Bhatt and Parveen Babi
Mahesh Bhatt`s relationship with Parveen Babi was not hidden from anyone back in the day. The couple started dating in 1977 and parted ways three years later. It is no news that the actress was dealing with mental health concerns even at the time. During a recent interview, the filmmaker opened up about the late actress and how her behaviour had changed.
During the latest episode of the Himanshu Mehta Show, Mahesh Bhatt recalled Parveen Babi’s final days, claiming that despite her vulnerable condition, the actress could not distance herself from the limelight. The filmmaker said that all attempts were made to make her realise that once she had those kind of breakdowns, she should not try to fit herself back in this fiercely competitive space. He suggests she should have withdrawn from the industry since she had a physiological vulnerability. Despite that, Parveen was trying to fit herself back into the competitive world.
Mahesh added, “But I think once you have tasted this business, the high of the arc lights, it’s very difficult to turn your back on it. But what happened to her was an unimaginable tragedy.”
