 "Kabir Bedi reveals he was in an open-marriage with first wife Protima Bedi: 'If she wants to have an affair and I want to also have an affair...'")
Kabir Bedi has lived a life juggling multiple film industries, continents, and families. In his new memoir, the actor dwells on the people who have shaped him, more than the events that transformed him.
In an interview with Digital Commentary, Kabir Bedi revealed he was in an open-marriage with first wife Protima Bedi. “At that time, we felt that if we want to be together, it is for the kids. And if our inclination is such that she wants to have an affair and I want to also have an affair, the best thing we can do is have an open marriage,” Bedi said.
The veteran actor added, “You do whatever you want, and I will do what I want. We will stay together and parent our kids together. But ultimately, that didn’t work out. And it was a difficult thing to work.”
Kabir Bedi continued, “We wanted our children to see that while we could not remain married, we would always be there for them as parents.”
Back in 2021, he told Firstpost, “Right now, I am grieving for all those who are suffering the brunt of this merciless pandemic. No health system in the world can cope with two million new cases a week. It’s the worst human tragedy I’ve experienced in my lifetime. Before I was born, my mother saw even worse when she reported on the Bengal Famine of 1943. Three million people died.”
He added, “My parents knew many historic figures of the freedom struggle: Gandhi, Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, Sheikh Abdullah, Giani Zail Singh, Harkrishan Singh Surjeet. As a child, the uprising in Tibet, which forced the Dalai Lama to flee to India, affected me and my family deeply. It’s all in my book. I was friends with Rajiv and Sanjay Gandhi during the years I grew up in Delhi. Indira Gandhi was “Aunty Indu”. We lost touch over the years. But that’s another story."
