At the age of 86 years, he acted as the lead Hero in a movie named Charitra with famous Bollywood actress Parveen Babi. Salim Durani has refuted that he ever had a love relationship with her as there was a controversy raised in several Bollywood magazines at that time.
After Parveen’s death, he said, ‘he was shocked to hear about her traumatic death inside a house in Bombay with nobody knowing about her passing.’
Salim Durani revealed that Parveen Babi was a good friend to him and she was also a native of Junagarh, Gujarat.
