Did you know Parveen Babi once accused Amitabh Bachchan of kidnapping her, taking take her to an island, and performing surgery on her?

Parveen Babi, one of Bollywood's highest-paid actresses of the 70s and 80s, appeared in 70 films. She debuted in 1972 with Charitra, which didn’t perform well, but her talent and beauty soon earned her prominent roles. Parveen passed away in 2005, leaving a void in her fans' hearts.
Parveen's acting skills amazed everyone, and soon after her debut, she landed a role opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Majdoor. Their sizzling chemistry in the film left a lasting impression on audiences. The on-screen pair went on to captivate viewers in films like Amar Akbar Anthony, Kaala Patthar, Suhaag, Shaan, and more.

Parveen Babi and Amitabh Bachchan made headlines when the late actress reportedly accused him of kidnapping her. She filed a complaint and took him to court, claiming in an interview with FilmiBeat that Bachchan was an "international gangster." Parveen alleged that he hired goons to kidnap her and kept her on an island, where a chip was surgically implanted under her ear.

In addition, Parveen Babi reportedly filed a police complaint against Amitabh Bachchan and took him to court. However, Amitabh was cleared when investigations revealed that Parveen had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental illness that affects a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behavior, often distancing them from reality.

Big B and Parveen were a popular on-screen pair, which led to rumors of a romance between them. Despite these rumors, both actors, with Amitabh already married to Jaya Bachchan, denied any romantic involvement, stating they were just friends. Some reports later suggested that when the link-up rumors intensified, Amitabh distanced himself from Parveen, which allegedly upset her.
Bachchan spoke about Parveen's accusations during the investigation, explaining that her illness caused her to lose touch with reality, leading to delusions and hallucinations. In another interview, he mentioned that Parveen kept to herself on set, and her presence was often unnoticed. He also recalled how Parveen, along with others, visited him after his accident. Amitabh expressed sadness over her health and shared that in 1983, he took her to a live show, but after that, she suddenly disappeared.
