Shekhar Suman Dismisses Claims About Parveen Babi Being Mentally Unstable, Adds, 'It Was All Lies'

Parveen Babi was one of the most iconic actresses back in the ‘70s and ‘80s decade of Hindi cinema.

However, by 1983, Parveen disappeared from the realm of the silver screen and led to many speculations arising about her whereabouts. At one point in time, Parveen was tagged as being mentally unstable by many from the film fraternity, which led her to lose out on a few projects. She passed away in 2005.

Shekhar reveals Parveen Babi made some shocking yet unverified revelations about several stars

Talking about his interview, Shekhar then revealed that it was Parveen Babi herself who called him up and scheduled it. However, at the last minute, she requested him to come to her residence and take the interview, since she couldn’t make it to his studio. Moreover, Shekhar stated that the interview at one point became slightly uncomfortable, since Parveen revealed some shocking yet unverified claims about various actors from the industry. However, he had to edit them out at the end. In his words:

“One day, I got a call, Shekhar, this is Parveen Babi. You’re so good, dear. Can I be on your show? Midway through the interview, she started saying some things that made me uncomfortable. She started saying things that I didn’t want to hear about certain people. I didn’t stop her, but I edited them out later, because there was no proof for what she was saying, and it wouldn’t have been right to believe a one-sided narrative.”
