I saw that he was saying the wrong thing, he talked a lot about him,” said Bindu.The veteran actor also added that Parveen often talks strangely about several people around her.“He also used to talk a lot about us. I understood what he was saying. My husband and I sat together and I told him not to ask too much. It was very difficult. He must have loved her, we don’t know. This is what I heard later,” she said.Bindu explained that he has not worked much with Parveen and therefore could not say much about the actor’s feelings.“I didn’t have many films with Parveen Babi. So, I don’t know anything about it.”
‘It was very sad about him’
Recalling the time when Parveen’s health began to interfere with her work, Bindu explained what happened when Jwalamukhi was being shot.“What a tragic death it was. It was very tragic. It happened in front of me. Initially, we were playing Jwalamukhi. Shatru. Yes, Shatru. We took Reena after Shatru. So, Parveen was playing her,” he recalled.According to Bindu, the team was supposed to shoot from 2 pm to 10 pm and finished rehearsals before Parveen arrived at the set.“We changed from 2 to 10. We were ready for 2. We rehearsed. We said Parveen is coming. He came right now. When they came, we stood up to shoot. He had a conversation. He could not speak. He spoke a line or two and then forgot. He wasn’t listening. He was somewhere in a vision.
The shoot was canceled after Parveen fell ill
Bindu said director Prakash Mehra immediately realized something was wrong and decided to stop the shooting.“Prakash ji said if you are not well let’s put our luggage tomorrow, he said yes I think so I am not feeling well. That day, we picked up the shot. “The actress revealed that the next day, the process should be cancelled.“Prakash ji said, let’s do one thing, I’ll call you tomorrow morning. Maybe we’ll have a shift at 2. He said, fine. The next day he called. He said, no, we’re going to cancel the plan. He’s not doing well. That’s when it started.”Bindu added that no one understood the situation at that time.“We didn’t know what happened. How bad it was. We didn’t know anything.”
Parveen was eventually replaced by Reena Roy
As Parveen’s health began to deteriorate, production delays increased and the filmmakers replaced her with Reena Roy.“After that, our schedule was very long. The break was very long. They replaced Parveen and took Reena. Then we shot the film.”When asked if some parts needed to be reshot, Bindu explained: “Of course, what happened to them, which we were not involved in. It all happened again with Reena. We shot with Reena.
‘He’s answering, but he’s somewhere else’
Bindu also recalled another awkward moment he shared with Parveen during the shoot.“After that, I was shooting in the evening, we were in the same room with Parveen. We were chatting with her, she answers, but she is somewhere else. She is looking somewhere else in her mind.”He remembered his barber saw the same thing.“My hair man was with me, he pointed at me and said, what’s going on? I said, I don’t know. We didn’t understand.According to Bindu, Parveen seemed to be there but in her mind.“He’s nodding, but he’s not listening to me. He’s somewhere else. After the evening, he got sick. After that, everything was over.”Looking back, Bindu described Parveen Babi’s downfall as one of the saddest things he had seen in the film industry.“It was very sad for him,” he concluded.
