Pooja shared that Parveen started having loss of control over herself in the remaining leg of her life. Pooja shared that Parveen doubted all and felt there was a conspiracy theory against her. Pooja sat down for an interview with Siddharth Kannan and shared that with Parveen, it was common to become suspicious of everyone. She recently shared how the actress just ate eggs and stopped even shopping for things from outside. Pooja shared:

"She was so excited to see me and said, ‘Pooja! Hi! Come in.’ Then she gave me a big hug, and we were sitting and chatting, and everything was completely normal. Suddenly, she said, ‘I am sorry that I can’t offer you food because I only eat eggs.’ I asked her why she ate only eggs, and she replied, ‘This is the one thing they can’t tamper with.’ I asked her, ‘Who?’ She said, ‘The Secret Service, or the FBI.’'

Pooja Bedi reveals Parveen Babi feared makeup products were contaminated at stores

Pooja also shared a particular episode she experienced with Parveen, where she said that the late actress felt someone was doing some form of conspiracy. Pooja remembered how once she had come back to India, and everyone discussed that something was just not right with Parveen. When Pooja went to Parveen's home, she looked different as she had put up lots of weight and also had wild hair. Pooja also shared that Parveen stopped buying makeup products because she felt everything was contaminated, especially in departmental stores. In her words:

"She told me that she doesn’t buy makeup from the markets because someone contaminates it. I asked her, ‘How would someone know what you are going to buy and when you are going to buy it?’ She said, ‘They know everything.’ I immediately thought that there was something extremely wrong that was going on around there. I got really concerned and confused at that point in time."

Pooja Bedi's father, Kabir Bedi, had told Parveen Babi to go to London for mental health check

Kabir, earlier in an interview with Filmfare, shared that Parveen's biggest concern was about people finding out that she had mental health issues. Earlier, in an interview with Filmfare, Kabir shared how Parveen was always against taking any kind of mental health help and how he had to convince her to do the same. Kabir shared:

“I advised Parveen to see someone in London because there were best people to treat her there and also she was away from all this, but she wouldn’t hear of it. She didn’t like the pressure that I was putting on her and, at the same time, her film Amar Akbar Anthony in India became a huge hit."
