Throwback: When Amitabh Bachchan Was Accused By Mahesh Bhatt Of Pretending To Be The Messiah (Read More)

There is no denying that Mahesh Bhatt is a visionary in the Bollywood industry. On a personal level, he is merely a person who freely admits to having made a number of errors. He has always been open and honest about his friends and foes, never hiding either.

Regarding his dispute with Amitabh Bachchan and his relationship with Parveen Babi, the filmmaker has been open. Many fans are curious as to how these two are related, but they may not be aware of the fact that he once referred to Big B as vain among other things.

The director acknowledged having an extramarital relationship with Parveen Babi. He learned about her mental health concerns during their liaison. She even charged her co-star Amit Ji with trying to kill her

Big B and Mahesh Bhatt have never publicly acknowledged their dislike for one another, but the director had made a number of disparaging remarks about the actor. According to India Today, he told Stardust, "He (Amitabh Bachchan) believes he is some god-damn messiah, but in reality, he enjoys having an infatuated woman hovering around him in his white churidar-kurta and shawl. It gives him a sense of divinity.

For the uninitiated, Amitabh Bachchan and Parveen Babi collaborated on films like Kaalia, Deewar, and Namak Halal. According to rumours, Mahesh Bhatt and the actress began dating in the late 1970s.

The filmmaker started a live-in relationship with the actress even though he was already married to Lorraine Bright. He saw her mental state deteriorate during that time. She reportedly accused Mr. Bachchan of trying to kill her at around the same period and even filed a lawsuit against her.

Fans speculate that Parveen Babi may be to blame for Mahesh Bhatt's animosity towards Amitabh Bachchan, even if the real cause of this is unknown. Currently, it appears that the two have patched things up and are friendly.
