Veteran Bollywood actor Kabir Bedi has faced a lot of ups and downs in his life. Having been married four times, the actor was termed as a ladies man of his time. He was infamous for being in many relationships. During one of his recent interactions he has opened up about why people might have perceived him as a womaniser and stressed on the fact that he never had short-term relationships.
While promoting his memoir ‘Stories I Must Tell: The Emotional Life of an Actor’ in 2021, he expressed during Jashn-e-Rekhta, how just because he has been in multiple relationships people perceive him to be a ladies man. Explaining his reality, he shared how all the relationships he had been in were always long-term and he never even had a one-night stand. He said, “Haqeeqat yeh hai ki jitne mere rishte rahe hain, koi one night stand nahi tha, lambe the 6, 7, 8 saal. Do rishte 15-15 saal tak the. Yeh koi quickies nahi the, yeh kafi lambe rishte rahe hain, significant rahe hain aur main boht kuch seekha hun unse.”
The 77-year-old went on to quote a couplet by Sahir Ludhianvi, where he expressed if a relationship cannot last long, it is better to end it on a point where it’s still peaceful and loving. There is no point in dragging a person if both of them are unhappy. He added that all of his ex-wives have stayed with him. Recalling a memory, when his third wife had invited his former wives on a Christmas dinner, he said, “Yeh ek symbol hai ki kis kism ke rishte maine nibhaye hain aur kis kism ke rishte khatam hone ke baad bhi rahe hain.”
For the unversed, he tied the knot with dancer Protima Bedi in 1969. After divorcing her in 1977, he got married to British fashion designer Susan Humphreys. He tied the knot again with Nikki Bedi and then with Parveen Dusanj. The actor has three kids with his ex-wives. Pooja Bedi and Siddharth Bedi, who passed away from suicide in 1997 at the age of 26, from his first wife and Adam Bedi with his second wife.
