The Sapphic Romance of Hema and Parveen
<p>Hema Malini refused to lie down in bed with Parveen Babi.</p>
<p>‘<em>What is this I hear Kamal saab</em>?’ she said, ‘<em>A chambermaid is romancing Razia</em>?’</p>
<p>‘<em>What is wrong with that</em>? asked the director filming a song sequence.</p>
<p>‘<em>What about my image Kamal saab? Mera role Sultan ka hai… al-Sultan al-Muazzam Raziyat al-Din bint al-Sultan</em>,’ she said, trying to impress him with her clear pronunciation of the queen’s title and her own histrionics.</p>
<p>Kamal Amrohi looked blank because he had trained her to rote those words.</p>
