[4] Babajee was found hanging from the ceiling fan in her apartment on 25 June 2010, at her Bandra residence in Mumbai.

Following the latter event, she stayed on in Manila as a guest of her fellow pageant competitor Ruffa Gutierrez and cohosted the awarding ceremonies of the 1994 edition of the Manila Film Festival, during which she was embroiled in a scandal over results tampering with Gutierrez and several others that saw her announce the wrong set of winners.

She subsequently left the Philippines after being vilified by the local press and declared persona non grata in Manila but maintained that she was manipulated into participating in the incident.

VIBGYOR is an acronym for the seven colours of the rainbow (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange & Red).

She made her debut film appearance in Yeh Kaisi Mohabbat, co-starring with Deeksha and Krishna, released in 2002.
