Kabir Bedi says all his 4 marriages lasted over 7 years, had ‘significant relationships, not one-night stands': ‘I was indiscriminate in my choice of women'
Kabir Bedi has never been shy about discussing his personal life and in a recent interview, when Kabor was asked if his many serious relationships, and four marriages, 'empowered' an entire generation to 'switch over' in relationships, he smiled and admitted that he was 'indiscriminate' about the choice of women in his life. Kabir, who called himself an 'emotional fool', also shared that even though he had many serious relationships, none of them were one night stands, and almost all of them were long, healthy relationships that ended on a good note.
In a chat with BBC Hindi, Kabir said, 'Who am I to empower others? But I will admit that there were times when I was indiscriminate in my choice of women. But if I am equally honest, if I look at my significant relationships, none of these were one-night stands.' Kabir then spoke about his four marriages and said, 'My first marriage lasted for 7 years. My second marriage also lasted for around 7-8 years. Third marriage lasted for 15 years. My current marriage with Parveen Dosanjh, we have been together for 19 years. We have only been married for 9 years but before that, we were together for 10 years.'
Kabir insisted that the number might sound like a lot but all these relationships were important and significant. 'These relationships are not short relationships. There might be many. It's possible that some people might not marry 4 times but all my relationships were good, long but the thing that I am most proud of is that with all my ex-wives and I have remained friends,' he shared.

Kabir said that there is a photo from a Christmas dinner in his book, Stories I Must Tell: The Emotional Life of an Actor, where his first three wives are posing together celebrating Christmas. 'There is a photo in my book of a Christmas dinner that is being attended by my wife and two of my ex-wives. Three wives under a Christmas tree celebrating Christmas together. There were no bad feelings. I don't know if you want to call it a big or small achievement, but it will be called an achievement surely,' he said.
Kabir first married Protima Bedi in 1969. In the same chat, he shared that before they got married, he and Protima lived together and it caused a 'huge scandal.' They separated in 1974. He then married Susan Humphreys in 1980, and they were married for a decade. His third wife was Nikki Bedi, whom he married in 1992, and they divorced in 2005. Kabir and Parveen have been married since 2016.

The colour and vibrance of Kolkata is going to stay with me: Didier
As Didier Talpain, the Consul General of France in Kolkata prepares to bid farewell to the city after an impactful tenure of nearly four-years, we look back at him as not just a diplomat, but a passionate advocate of cultural exchange through music. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a city where conversations often begin with a melody, his dedication to bridging cultures has painted a vibrant picture of his time here and his hopes for Kolkata's musical future. Now as he heads back to Paris, he leaves behind a legacy rooted in both diplomacy and music. Ahead of his final concert in the city as a conductor, we caught up with him on Wednesday to talk about his musical journey, and the lasting memories of the city he takes with him. Music is a genuine catalyst in starting cross-cultural dialogue Music transcends languages and borders and if you are in Kolkata, you know it is easier to start a conversation over music than anything else. Calling music a means and a catalyst in bridging cultures, the consul general said, 'Music is the only art form where the emotions directly hit the brain. When you appreciate architecture, you do it after seeing and analysing it-you put a lot of filter, but music reaches the brain directly from the ears. If you like it, you like it, no matter if you understand the language or not.' Finding an audience for what he loves the most While Kolkata's love for music is profound, the Western classical genre is still a niche. 'We have done more over 15 concerts in the city in a span of three years, in collaboration with Alliance Francaise Du Bengale. Kolkata has a niche for Western Classical music. Maybe there aren't many who understand and like this genre but music is a lot like grammar, if you know the grammar once, you know all languages,' said Didier who has conducted concerts globally, including Jordan and Kazakhstan. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now On a parting note The Consul General has grown fond of the culture and colour of the city. 'Kolkata is a melting pot of cultures and colours which looks great to a musician and a diplomat's eye,' said Didier. When asked about his vision for the city, the musician in him took over and said, 'I wish the city continues to love and appreciate Western Classical music. You never know, Kolkata might host its own Opera someday.' I've conducted concerts globally and would characterise the local talent here as curious. They study music, understand its nuances. It is a two-way learning process Remembering the first time he saw Durga Puja pandals in the city, he said, 'When I explain to people in Europe, I tell them that Durga Puja is a mix of Christmas and Rio Carnival.'
