Meet actor who married four times, divorced thrice, asked her wife to take off clothes in public, then..., his name is..., daughter is...
Why did his first wife run naked on Juhu beach?
Kabir's first marriage was to Protima Bedi, a firecracker in her own right.
'Protima loved sensationalising things… she loved shocking people. She enjoyed being in the news.' He recalled the time she streaked on Juhu beach, 'There must've been photographers called. She said, 'There's nothing wrong with streaking. The human body is beautiful. Love it, live with it.'
Even after their separation, they stayed connected as co-parents. 'When she passed away, I was deeply affected.'
His second marriage to Susan Humphreys
His second marriage to Susan Humphreys, a British designer (now Ishhel), lasted nearly a decade.
'There wasn't any upheaval… but we were a mismatch. I realised I made a mistake.' Their son Adam spent five years in Mumbai with Kabir; he mentioned, 'Where there's a child involved, the relationship never ends.'
When a talk show turned political
Third wife Nikki Bedi, a TV presenter, once hosted a show that invited controversy.
'A guest said he'd written a book that abused Gandhi. Nikki didn't say it herself, but she was blamed.'
Despite the fallout, their 15-year relationship ended on good terms, he said, 'All my ex-wives, I've maintained great friendships with them.'
Kabir Bedi's fourth marriage
Kabir's fourth marriage in 2016 was with Parveen Dusanj, 29 years younger. He said, 'I never felt the age gap. I've always celebrated my 50th birthday every year.'
What went wrong with Hollywood?
Kabir shared how unmet stardom, financial strain, and his son Siddharth's passing pulled him back to India, 'The kind of fame I wanted in Hollywood… I never got that.'
'If you give respect, take responsibility, and communicate with dignity, you'll get that back. When pain passes, what's left defines the relationship.'

Amid the kiss cam scandal, people are now speculating if British iconic band Coldplay can be sued by former CEO after its lead singer Chris Martin accidentally outed him at the concert. Amidst the ensuing scandal, speculation arose that Byron might seek legal redress. Live Events "Any legal claims from Byron would be dead on arrival," Ron Zambrano of the Los Angeles-based West Coast Employment Lawyers told The Mirror. "He has no grounds to sue." "First, it would immediately be struck down as a restriction on creative speech and Coldplay's ability to be artistic during their performances. Second, Byron and Cabot waived their right to privacy when they decided to attend a public event, so their public display of affection is on them, not on Coldplay. They just got caught," he added. Tre Lovell, a civil and entertainment attorney of the Lovell Firm, echoed similar sentiments. He said, "CEO Andy Bryon has no legal recourse against Coldplay for putting him on the big screen."

"People are free to photograph you and video you. "What people cannot do is use the video or photographs to violate your right to publicity in terms of using your image for commercial purposes or defame you and depict you in a manner that is false or untruthful." Lovell added, "The fact that the big screen caught the CEO doing something embarrassing or immoral in public is on him.' Meanwhile, Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin seemed to poke some fun at the incident at his next concert. He didn't address it directly, but instead told the crowd that they might get put on the jumbotron and "Please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now!'

India cricketer Hardik Pandya was recently seen at the airport, turning heads with his effortlessly cool and sophisticated style. This marked his first public appearance amid swirling rumours of a breakup with British-Indian singer Jasmin Walia. In a video posted on a popular paparazzo page, Hardik Pandya was seen in a smart and stylish outfit that mixed comfort with a touch of class.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) The buzz surrounding Hardik Pandya and Jasmin Walia intensified after fans noticed that the two had unfollowed each other on Instagram. While they never confirmed being in a relationship, people often guessed they were dating based on small hints and posts online. Now, since they're no longer following each other, many believe they might have broken up. However, just like their rumoured relationship, neither of them has said anything about it yet. Hardik's personal life has often been under the spotlight. He was previously married to Serbian model and actress Natasa Stankovic. The couple, who share a son named Agastya, announced their separation last year in a mutual and respectful statement. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hardik Pandya (@hardikpandya93) The joint message read, 'After four years of being together, Hardik and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest of both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we enjoyed together as we built a family. We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the center of both our lives, and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding in granting us privacy during this difficult and sensitive time." As fans continue to speculate about the cricketer's current relationship status, Hardik Pandya remains focused on his personal journey, embracing both fatherhood and his public life with composure.

"Going To Use Cameras": Chris Martin's Heads Up After Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal
Coldplay's 'Jumbotron Song' segment now comes with a warning. When the British band frontman Chris Martin greeted a sold-out crowd at Madison's Camp Randall Stadium this weekend, he strummed a familiar tune, smiled and said: "We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd," he said. It wasn't like the segment hadn't featured loving couples before, but the one they panned their camera to last week during their Boston show definitely turned into a moment of moments. They had Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head, Kristin Cabot, sharing a candid moment, only for them to look for cover. "How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen... So, please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now," he said, perhaps hinting that the camera may go anywhere and feature anyone. HE'S SO UNSERIOUS — monica ???? (@weeklycoldplay) July 20, 2025 The video went viral, with many reacting with references to the July 16 "Scandal" involving Byron and Cabot. A user wrote, "He meant to say 'if you haven't let go of your side chick, do it now!' " Another commented, "Great way to say a lot without saying it." "What's funny is he gave this exact speech during the concert it happened at too, this isn't something he started doing because of it, but what that also means is that the CEO had PLENTY of time to get ready to not act like he was having an affair before he Streisanded himself," someone said. Someone wrote, "I loved this part of the concert! Chris and the guys are genius innovators!" Coldplay's ' Jumbotron Song ', where Chris Martin interacts with fans by putting them on the stadium's big screen mid-show, is a cherished part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour. The singer sings for the people on screen, improvising lyrics on the spot. At their July 16 show in Foxborough, Massachusetts, when the camera landed on Byron and Cabot, they were caught off guard and attempted to shield their faces. Chris Martin didn't miss a beat. "Whoa, look at these two," he said, mid-song. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." Following the incident, Byron's wife, Megan, dropped "Byron" from her name on social media before deleting her Facebook account. Cabot is also married into one of New England's oldest elite families. She is the wife of Andrew Cabot, a descendant of the storied Boston Brahmins and the Privateer Rum dynasty. By July 18, Astronomer confirmed both Andy Byron and Ms Cabot had been placed on administrative leave. One day later, Byron resigned as CEO. Co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy was named interim CEO. Coldplay has not released an official statement about the viral incident. The band's Instagram recap of their Madison show made no mention of it. Concert venues typically warn attendees they may be recorded, especially if the footage is used for music videos or promotional material. Gillette Stadium, where the incident took place, has a privacy policy saying that guests' images, voices, or likenesses may be captured by CCTV or during event filming in public areas.
