Parveen Babi - Personal Life and Education

Personal Life and Education

Parveen was born in Junagadh, Gujarat in a Muslim family. She did her early schooling from Mount Carmel High School, Ahmedabad and later attended St. Xavier's College, Ahmedabad. Her father Vali Mohammed Babi (died 1959), was a System administrator with the Nawab of Junagadh and Jamal Bakhte Babi (died 2001) Parveen was born fourteen years after the marriage of her parents and was the only child. She lost her father at the age of Ten.

Parveen never married but had relationships with many married men; director Mahesh Bhatt, actors Kabir Bedi, and Danny Denzongpa. She was also strongly rumoured to have had an affair with her co-star of many films, Amitabh Bachchan with whom she later developed irrational fears as she accused him of trying to kill her. Bhatt later wrote and directed Arth (1982), a semi-autobiographical film about his relationship with Babi, and wrote and produced Woh Lamhe (2006) based on facts about his relationship with her.

Famous quotes containing the words personal, life and/or education:

    There cannot be a personal God without a pessimistic religion. As soon as there is a personal God he is a disappointing God.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    ... the hey-day of a woman’s life is on the shady side of fifty, when the vital forces heretofore expended in other ways are garnered in the brain, when their thoughts and sentiments flow out in broader channels, when philanthropy takes the place of family selfishness, and when from the depths of poverty and suffering the wail of humanity grows as pathetic to their ears as once was the cry of their own children.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Toward education marriage nervous breakdown, operation, teaching
    school, and learning to be mad, in a dream—what is this
    life?
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
