Recently, Parveen Babi's contemporary, veteran actress Zeenat Aman shared a moving post about her. On the occasion of Parveen Babi's birth anniversary, Zeenat Aman said, “I'd like to remember and honour Parveen today, on her birthday.  Parveen was gorgeous, glamorous and talented. Back in the 70s, we wore our hair in a similar manner and enjoyed Western fashion. Though neither of us saw it, we were told we had an uncanny resemblance. It must have been true, because as recently as last year I was approached in Dubai as “Parveen ma'am”. Naturally the media at the time spun tales of competition and rivalry between us, but in reality we were always warm towards each other. Not best friends, but contemporaries, colleagues and well wishers. We worked together on Ashanti and Mahaan.”
