Mahesh Bhatt and Parveen Babi
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt recently recalled his relationship with the late actress Parveen Babi. The iconic actress’s life was a rollercoaster ride, as she battled mental health issues during the 1970s and 1980s. Babi was in a relationship with Mahesh Bhatt while he was still married to Kiran Bhatt. The filmmaker has now revealed that Parveen was also married, a fact he discovered while they were in a relationship and living together.
In an interview with BBC News Hindi, Mahesh said, "I found out about her marriage later, when we were already in a relationship. When her mother would visit from Junagadh, she would occasionally talk about it. By then, I was living with her. It came up in conversation that she had been married once, and then the man moved to Pakistan."
