In the world of glitz and glamour of Indian cinema, many fairy-tale romances bloom and fade under the harsh spotlight of fame. While some of these stories blossom into beautiful and long-lasting relationships, others sometimes give the actor or actress the trauma of their lives. From Dilip Kumar and Madhubala to Dharmendra, Hema Malini, and Jeetendra, Bollywood has witnessed various infamous affairs. However, today, we will tell you about an incomplete love story that not many movie lovers would know.

While today, everyone knows about Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha’s alleged romance, not many know that there was an actress who was madly in love with Amitabh Bachchan. So much so that she used to cry for him every night. But that love never bloomed. If you are wondering who this actress was, then let us tell you, she was the one and only Parveen Babi.

This Actress’ Love Never Bloomed

Parveen Babi, who made her iconic debut with the 1973 film Charitra, later went on a huge spree of hits and blockbusters. Not just fans but even actors loved Parveen, but the actress had a soft corner for none other than Amitabh Bachchan. Did you know that Parveen used to wake up in the middle of the night and scream Amitabh’s name? For those who don’t know much about the actress, they would think that it was Parveen’s love for Big B. However, as per an IMDb report, during the late 80s, Parveen was suffering from schizophrenia. She was getting treated for it in Bangalore. And the time when she screamed in the middle of the night was one of her episodes of schizophrenia.

All these episodes happened during the time when Parveen and Amitabh were filming for Dostana. At that time, Parveen was alleged to be in a relationship with Mahesh Bhatt, and when the incident reached Mahesh, he decided to meet Amitabh personally. Later, Mahesh went to the Dostana sets because Parveen had a severe mental illness. He then begged Amitabh to be especially kind to her. After listening to Mahesh’s experience, Amitabh promised to try his best.

Mahesh and Parveen were in a relationship for three years, and then they parted ways. The main reason for their separation was Parveen’s health.

Apart from Mahesh Bhatt, Parveen also dated Danny Denzongpa and Kabir Bedi.
