When Parveen Babi mocked Amitabh Bachchan, saying 'Sanjay Gandhi is better-looking than Bachchan' (Video)

In a chat show Parveen Babi was seen cracking jokes on Amitabh Bachchan's looks when he was voted one of the most handsome Indian men; watch this

Parveen Babi was one of the most glamorous and beautiful actresses in Bollywood, who became mentally unstable and spent many years in a mental hospital in the USA. She was found dead in her Mumbai apartment on 22 January 2005. 

There were rumours and many reports about Parveen, who was a sex siren in the late 70s and 80s that she was having an affair with already married Amitabh Bachchan. 

Today, we found an old video where Shekhar Suman hosted a show and invited Parveen Babi as a guest. In the video, we can see Parveen insulting and making fun of Amitabh Bachchan, who tagged one of the most handsome Indian men.

Parveen had said that the "biggest joke of the millennium" was Amitabh Bachchan being nominated for "star of the millennium".

Parveen had said laughingly, "I thought the biggest joke of the millennium was Amitabh Bachchan being nominated the star of the millennium superseding Marlon Brando, Elvis Presley, Laurence Olivier, Alec Guinness, Michael Jackson, I mean everybody. And the even bigger joke was when Amitabh Bachchan was nominated among the 10 most handsome men of the Indian century. Amitabh Bachchan has always been known for his acting and not for his appearance." 

Soon after Shekhar Suman tried to counter her viewpoints saying that the result was based on some polling, Parveen named other good-looking Indian men in India better than Bachchan.

"In the Indian century, there have been men who can be called good-looking or handsome such as Dev Anand, Firoz Khan, Shammi Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor, even Raj Kapoor. Of course, Dharmendra, there are so many. Even Sanjay Gandhi is a better-looking man than Amitabh Bachchan," she added.
