On April 4, 1949, Parveen Babi was born, marking the beginning of a journey for one of India's most celebrated actresses during the 1970s and 1980s. Despite facing a society and media that were often harsh towards women in the film industry, labeling them as 'Westernized,' Babi carved a niche for herself. She starred alongside the era's icons like Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor in blockbuster films such as 'Deewar' and 'Amar Akbar Anthony.' Sadly, her life came to an untimely end on January 20, 2005, due to mental health issues.
