Parveen Babi: Sanjay Dutt and Amitabh are with the underworld
By Ad-Lib
From being one of the sexiest actresses ever on the Indian screen to
becoming a paranoid schizophrenic, Parveen Babi's life is what
legends are made off. The actress, who quit films in the early 80's
after suffering a nervous breakdown, disappeared for six years before
she came back to India. But on her return, she was a far cry from the
earlier svelte stunner. Bloated beyond recognition, the actress had
developed an acute fear of being the mafia's target and till date
that fear hasn't left her. Today, almost 15 years after her return,
she is once again in the news after she recently went to court
claiming to have evidence against actor Sanjay Dutt in the 1993 bomb
blasts case. In this interview with Sify, the scared Parveen Babi
reveals all about her paranoia and insists that she is not

crazy. Read on and decide for yourself…
The past few days have had you once again in the spotlight.
Ever since I said that Bollywood had links with the underworld and
that I had enough evidence to prove that, my life has been under
threat. But I know what I am saying is true because I have witnessed
it. They are all people with blue collar jobs who cannot be suspected
and Sanjay Dutt is one of them. Even Amitabh Bachchan is involved.
But why are you hell bent on making Sanjay Dutt out to be underworld
connected?
I am saying the truth because I know he is connected to the mafia. I
would have never filed an affidavit with the TADA court about the
1993 bomb blasts if I didn't have enough evidence in my possession
against the actor. I have been collecting this evidence of the
international crime syndicate since last year.
But then why didn't you turn up in court on the day you were to
appear as a witness?
I could not appear in court as there is a threat to my life. And I
will not go to court even if I am called again, as I know for a fact
that they will get me killed through Sanjay Dutt if I go there. I
really didn't understand why didn't they summon me last year when I
submitted my letter. I even called the CBI but there was no response
from their side. And now suddenly they want me to testify in court
when the verdict is almost out.
Do you realize that most people think you are mentally unwell?
The media has been very unkind to me. They have been calling me names
and saying that I am sick, insane and crazy. But they don't realize
how much it hurts and how damaging their words can be. Even earlier I
was forced to declare myself a paranoid schizophrenic. But I know I
am okay and that is all that matters.
Why did you leave films at the peak of your career in the early 80's?
I had everything going for me in the late 70's. I had a great film
career, was rich and famous. But then I got into trouble when I
stumbled upon the activities of the organized crime syndicate in
1979. Everything collapsed around me after that and I was forced to
admit I was mad, as I feared for my life. I then left India in 1983
after I realized that Amitabh Bachchan was making attempts on my life
since I had discovered that he was a part of the underworld
syndicate. He had once asked me if I wanted to transfer money to
Luxembourg and invest it in Euroshares for Indians. When I refused,
he tried to kill me through an accident on the sets while we were
shooting together. So, if I hadn't left the country, I would have
been surely killed.
But you came back in 1989.
Yes, I came back in 1989, as by then things had cooled off a bit.
Since then, I have been compiling and philosophizing theories,
studying law and monographs. I even started doing up homes, as I am
an interior designer, but there was a deliberate attempt at
sabotaging my career and life at large. Luckily, I had made some
sound investments and I inherited from my mother as well. You won't
believe it that there was an attempt to take that away from me too,
but I had to fight to get them back.
Finally, where do you see this case headed?
I am sure about this nexus between Bollywood and the underworld. I
have evidence regarding an international crime syndicate, involving
the UK and US governments, their heads of state and intelligence
agencies, the BJP government, Hollywood and Bollywood personalities,
the Roman Catholic Church and the mafia, which proves that they are
all connected. The governments of the US and UK have pressurized the
Indian Government to implicate Sanjay Dutt with the Mafia. And if I
go to testify against him in court, they will have me killed on the
way, and then the blame will be put on Sanjay Dutt and this would
acquit the US and the UK governments and the others accused in my
criminal complaint. But I just hope that I am proved right and not
harmed because I have total evidence in this case
