Two interesting romantic chapters from the autobiography of Mahesh Bhatt and Kabir Bedi Parveen Babi


Both the life and death of Parveen Babi, a native of Ju Nagdh, were unusual. This Gujarati actress knows that she has never learned to live in a straightforward and disciplined way. He lived his life in his own way and as a result many storms came in his life. Well known journalist Karishma Upadhyay has written a book in English on the ups and downs of Parveen's life, in which many events of the actress' life are described.

On these occasions, two of Bobby's lovers, producer-director Mahesh Bhatt and actor Kabir Bedi, go to Dokia. These occasions introduce Parveen's personality and mentality. Let's look at some of these occasions

Karishma Upadhyay's soon to be published biography 'Parveen Babi' is an occasion in which filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt goes to Mumbai airport to drop off a couple (Kabir Bedi and Parveen Babi) who are going to settle in Europe forever. Recalling the incident, Mahesh Bhatt says, "I remember very well that both of them were leaving India forever. M had a late night flight. The two wore European costumes in Mumbai.

There was a look of sadness on Parveen's face at that time. Anyway, she was going to leave her homeland and settle abroad. Yet she was Kabir's girlfriend and the two were in love with each other. Kabir had become a star in Italy and his future was bright. So Parveen ran away with her. '

Frequent storms are predicted on certain occasions. An Air India manager who knew Parveen and Kabir arranged his dinner with Italian actress Ginny Lolobrigida (La Lolo) at a luxurious restaurant in Rome. The dinner for four people was to be a memorable occasion in Parveen's life for the wrong reasons.

It so happened that Lolobrigida, who had recently parted ways with her boyfriend, kept an eye on the handsome Kabir Bedi throughout the dinner and completely ignored Parveen. After dinner, after her husband left, Gina turned to Parveen and said, "And dear, why are you walking?" What are you doing? Do you follow Star (Kabir)? ' Remembering that evening, Kabir says, 'Parveen was not a cannabis addict either. She was present and clever. He immediately replied to Gina that no, dear, I am with my lover because I have a lover. '

When Lina said nothing more, she took Parveen Kabir to the dance floor. She didn't want the sexy Italian star to stare at Kabir all the time. He also told Kabir while dancing. "I didn't know what to do," says Kabir. Gina was a big name in international cinema. But Parveen wanted to leave the restaurant to chase after him. He also told Kabir that I was leaving.

It is up to you to decide whether to stay or leave. Kabir tried very hard to explain to him that you are putting me in trouble. But Parveen was adamant in her decision. He told Kabir that it was his problem. I'm going. I don't like this woman. In the end, it happened to Parveen. Returning to his desk, Kabir told Lolobrigidi, "I'm sorry to hear that, but we have to go now."

After returning from London, Parveen Babi started preparing to make a comeback in Hindi films. She invited her old friends to her home. One of them was Mahesh Bhatt. Bhattasaheb went to meet Parveen at his house in Kalumal Estate, Juhu. Recalling those days, he says: 'I was a married young man in my twenties.

My films didn’t run and I was struggling in the industry. At that time it was very expensive for me to go from Mahim to Juhu. ' However, Parveen had such an attraction that Bhatt could not avoid meeting her. On that day, Parveen felt very lonely and sad.

Mahesh Bhatt went to meet the actress all the time but as they talked, they got closer to each other. He shared many stories and secrets of his personal life. The evening fell and the night began to fall. Yet the words of the two were not missing. Parveen played Farida Khanam's famous ghazal, 'Aaj Jaane Ki Jid Na Karo' and suddenly the whole atmosphere became romantic.

In the midst of all this, the thought was swirling in Mahesh Bhatt's mind that I am married and my wife and daughter are waiting for me at home. At that time, Bhatt became a follower of Rajneesh, known for his free thoughts. However, Bhatt realized that it was not easy to get out of social and moral values.

Bhatt took Parveen's leave to get out of the duel going on inside him. But still barely reaching the door, Parveen called him in a sweet bell-like voice. Bhatt returned to Parveen's bedroom. Parveen, who was lying on the bed, was waiting for him. There was a strange invitation in his eyes, which Bhattasaheb could not empty. The two got into an affair without saying anything.

Recalling a blue day on July 15, Mahesh Bhatt says in the book, "On that day, Parveen Prakash left home early to shoot Mehra's film Jwalamukhi. We were in a live-in relationship at the time and I was still lying in bed. Shatrughan Sinha was Parveen's hero in that film. When I returned home in the evening, Parveen's mother from Junagadh opened the door. Behind him stood Parveen's secretary Ved Sharma. There was a heavy worry on both their faces.

Bhatt rushed straight to Parveen's bedroom and saw his girlfriend lying on the ground with Tuntiyu. He didn't even change the costume of the movie when he came home and he had a knife on the breakfast table in his hand. There was fear in her eyes. Bhatt sat next to her and Parveen told her in a very low voice that they wanted to kill me.

Bhatt asked who wanted to kill you? Then Babi said 'Amitabh Bachchan. You don't know because you are so naive. But they want to throw chandeliers at me. ' Parveen also suspected that hidden cameras had been set up in her room.

That evening, Mahesh Bhatt realized that Parveen Babi had a mental problem. When he was younger, he saw a South Indian actor living in the neighborhood behaving in this way. He suffered from a mental illness called Rhizophenia. That reference helped Bhattasaheb understand Parveen's mental state.
