A EULOGY TO PARVEEN BABI


                            A EULOGY TO PARVEEN BABI

It’s a day to relive memories of the first female super star of Indian Cinema. Parveen Babi died in her penthouse apartment on 20th Jan’2005, it has been 14 years since, we remember a woman who not only was known for her beauty, talent and genuineness but also as a well-versed modern girl with a heart of gold. A fashion icon and a film celebrity whose sparkling individuality and style continues to inspire the present generation’s female aspirants. Her education and wit magnified her confidence, stature and star power and could compete with any male superstar of the time. 
                                                                                                                                      
She was a Star not dependent on layers of paint or designers but was just simply stylish in anyway and anywhere she appeared.
Recently, a famous designer Manish Malhotra complimented Parveen Babi by saying, "Parveen Babi brought minimalism into fashion. She was always impeccable, not overdoing it even once.”
We still remember her in movies like Bhanwar, Khuddar, Dur Desh, Bullet etc. For her superb role in Rang Birangi, which showcased her penchant for comedy and also snippets of her comedy could be seen in innumerable movies as well. She gave fascinating performances in the movies, her command over English, Hindi, Urdu was commendable, and with her nuanced oratory skills every character she portrayed was peerless.

 As we remember Parveen Babi today, it’s hard to subdue the flow of emotions about a woman so gorgeous, glamourous, eloquent, stunning and yet simple at heart and fallible. Famed for her gracious spirit and cooperative support to people, Parveen Babi is not forgotten and will live in people’s memory forever.
To give tribute to Parveen Babi today, following lines in her memory:                                                     "She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all the best of dark and bright
Meet her in aspect and her eyes:
Thus, mellow’d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies."
George Gordon, Lord Byron

PARVEEN BABI - RAPACIOUS EXPLOITATION BY MAHESH BHATT

PARVEEN BABI – RAPACIOUS EXPLOITATION BY MAHESH BHATT A fake friend, deviously misleads talented, beautiful and glamourous Parveen Babi, a famous star, educated, simple yet highly independent woman but could not understand the pettiness of Mahesh Bhatt. For his personal and professional gain, Mahesh Bhatt exploited Parveen Babi blatantly in the past and continues to do so, a ‘curator’ of her memories and life, his neurotic obsession in portraying her ‘story’ every few years, delving time and again only on one sad aspect of her life. Bhatt cannot visualise the rise of a middle-class girl to become the topmost heroine of her time, a girl with no interest in films in the beginning, yet with her talent and dedication became an accomplished artist, an effortless performer of comedy and drama.  Mahesh Bhatt, an unsuccessful director befriended a ‘STAR’ with sole intent to become famous and successful, the germs of deception and scheming duplicity, took advantage of a vuln...
