Re: What does ‘Babi’ refer in Parveen Babi?
aap se pehle hi google masters jawab de chuke 
BTW, Babi (from Arabic Bab = door). Babis were darbans of Mughals and thats how they got this title. This Shahi Khandan was quite conservative and even grandmother of Parveen babi didn’t visit any home, in the presence of their male family members. This is a complete contrast to the position, when Parveen Babi joined film Industry. Once she was dropped from a movie and she complained about the director with Director’s association. That director abruptly replied ‘main aisi aurat ko film main nahin le sakta, jis ko ye pata na ho…’… aage censor hai
