Parveen Sultana Wali Mohammad Khanji Babi (pronounced [ˈpəɾʋin ˈbɑbi]; 4 April 1954 – 20 January 2005) was an Indian actress and model, who worked in Hindi films. One of the highest-paid actresses of the 1970s and the 1980s, she appeared in over 70 films and was the first Bollywood star to appear on the cover of Time magazine. She was known for her glamorous acting style, her modelling and fashion, and was often cited in the media as a sex symbol. Babi was born in 1954, into the Babi Dynasty. She was educated at St. Xavier's College and began her modeling career in 1971. Two years later, she made her acting debut in the film Charitra. She became popular in the mid-1970s, with notable roles in films like Majboor and Deewaar. Over the following years, she appeared in several of the highest-grossing Indian films, including Kaala Sona, Amar Akbar Anthony, Suhaag, Kaala Patthar, Shaan, Kranti, Kaalia and Namak Halaal. The film Irada released in 1991, was her final film before she retired from the film industry. Babi's personal life received much attention. She remained unmarried after a string of relationships with Danny Denzongpa, Kabir Bedi and Mahesh Bhatt. She was believed to have been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, which came to the attention of the public, following various incidents. On 20 January 2005, she died at the age of 50, in her apartment in Mumbai. An autopsy stated that she died from organ failure and diabetes.
