Parveen Babi, one of the highest paid actresses of the 1970s, was upset as she was replaced in Yash Chopra’s ‘Silsila’ (1981), starring Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, and Jaya. The film is deemed to be iconic, with exceptional music, an impeccable storyline, and an unmatched cast.
Why was Parveen Babi upset?In an interview with ANI, the veteran actor Ranjeet revealed the behind-the-scenes, where Babi had tears puring from her eyes after being replaced from the role in the sheer feeling of disappointment. The ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ actress was supposed to play the role of Shobha Malhotra that was played by Jaya Bachchan.
Ranjeet stated, “She (Parveen Babi) was my dear friend… she was all alone. She was a beautiful lady. Always smiling, and we used to call her ‘fawada‘ because of her teeth… Once she was very upset and she was crying. I asked her ‘Kya hua Parveen? (What happened, Parveen?)’ We were in Kashmir. I don’t mind quoting because it’s a fact.”
“A film was made, 'Silsila,' and Parveen Babi was the original heroine, but she was asked to leave. And because of a gimmick controversy, they cast Rekha and Jaya Bhaduri in the film; otherwise, it was Parveen and Rekha,” he added.
Ranjeet revealed his friendship with other actorsAdditionally, Ranjeet expressed his friendship with the late Sanjeev Kumar and his frequent meetings with the people of the film industry. “He used to live in Pali Hill. Every person has a spending threshold… I want this thing but can’t afford it, still, I would take it even if have to take the loan, he was not like that. He didn’t want to…his father died, his brother died, so many people died, you know. Woh to destiny hoti hai,” he stated.
Furthermore, Ranjeet, one of the iconic actors who played villains, expressed the heartwrenching feeling that many actors who shaped the film industry have passed away. “Many actors have gone. Shashi Kapoor, I used to work with all these guys. Dutt sahib, Raaj Kumar, Rajesh Khanna. Every day we were together. Char-panch hero hote the, char-panch villain hote the (there were 4-5 heroes and 4-5 villains),” he stated, highlighting that all the actors had a tight bond as they regularly worked together.
