Zeenat Aman Remembers Parveen Babi On Her Birth Anniversary

Zeenat Aman, who had worked with Parveen Babi in the 1970s, took to Instagram on Parveen's birth anniversary to remember the late movie star. Zeenat expressed her desire to remember Parveen for her effervescence. She chose to remember her for her talent rather than the write-ups about her mental health and her romantic relationships. She felt that Parveen never truly got the chance to say what she wanted to say. In her heartfelt post, Zeenat mentioned that they were often compared to each other. It was because of their similar hairstyles and love for Western fashion. They were not best friends, but contemporaries, colleagues, and well-wishers. They worked together in Ashanti and Mahaan.

Zeenat also talked about how the tabloids portrayed Parveen's private life. Her romantic relationships and "episodes" were written about instead of her talent. She remembered Parveen as a creative person. She recalled Parveen loved reading and even designed interiors. Zeenat hoped that Parveen would be remembered as the remarkable person she was. Zeenat's post was flooded with comments from fans and fellow actors who also remembered Parveen. Kajol, Chitrangda Singh, Swara Bhaskar, and Sophie Choudhry were among those who dropped heart emojis. They also left thoughtful comments. One fan called them "trailblazers", and another referred to them as an "iconic duo." Parveen Babi retired from public life in 1983 and was found dead at her Mumbai home at the age of 50 on January 20, 2005. Despite her incredible success as an actor, her struggles with mental health came at a time when the country was still insensitive and ignorant about these matters. Nevertheless, Parveen's legacy lives on. She will always be remembered for her talent, intelligence, and effervescence.
