"Pyar Karnewale" from Shaan! What a perfect choice for the tribute. Her chemistry with Amitabh Bachchan was electric. Films like Deewaar and Amar Akbar Anthony are timeless classics because of performers like her.

It's heartbreaking to read about her later years. She gave so much joy to audiences but struggled so much in private. We really need to have more open conversations about mental health, especially in the film industry. A tragic story of a brilliant star.

While the tribute is nice, I wish the article focused more on her professional achievements and less on her personal relationships and struggles. She was a trailblazing actress—that should be the headline, not the turbulence.

My mother always talks about how Parveen Babi and Zeenat Aman changed how heroines were portrayed. They were bold, wore western clothes with ease, and played strong characters. True legends. Jackie Shroff's post brought back so many memories of watching those films on Doordarshan.

Her screen presence was undeniable. Even in a crowded frame with giants like Bachchan, she held her own. That's the mark of a great actor. The industry lost a unique talent.
