However, behind the glamour, she silently battled schizophrenia, a severe mental health disorder that eventually took over her life.

Actor Pooja Bedi, daughter of Kabir Bedi, who once shared a relationship with Parveen, recently opened up about witnessing the actor's mental decline. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Pooja recalled visiting Parveen after she returned to India and noticing drastic changes. “She had gained weight, her hair was wild, but she was warm and welcoming,” said Pooja. However, during their conversation, Parveen suddenly revealed that she only ate eggs, claiming it was the one food “the FBI couldn't tamper with.”
