Kabir Bedi on being in an open-marriage with first wife Protima Bedi: “Given that she wanted to have an affair and I had similar inclinations, we decided to…”

Kabir Bedi has recently confessed in an interview how he was in an open-marriage with his first wife Promitma Bedi and what impact it had on them.



Kabir Bedi is one of the first actors from Hindi cinema who had a tryst with the West. Many people called him the Greek God for his looks and intimidating aura. He also made a mark for himself in Bollywood with some really successful titles. But as much as he succeeded in acting, his personal life was just as controversial, and he has spoken a lot about it in his book that was launched few years back. He married four times, lost his son to suicide, and went through financial struggles as well. It makes for a juicy, pulpy biopic that has blockbuster written over it.  

Kabir Bedi has recently confessed in an interview how he was in an open-marriage with his first wife Promitma Bedi and what impact it had on them.

What Kabir Bedi said

In an interview with Digital Commentary, Kabir Bedi revealed, “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.”

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 on his children

The Khoon Bhari Maang actor was quoted saying, “We wanted our children to see that while we could not remain married, we would always be there for them as parents.”

Kabir Bedi on losing his son to suicide

Kabir Bedi had a son Siddharth, who died in 1997 by suicide. He was born out of the wedlock of the actor and his aforementioned first wife. 

Back in 2022, Bedi poured his heart out on his late son and said, “Whatever I have written in the book is from my heart. I have written about my tragedies in detail as well. Nobody objected to it because whatever I have written is the truth and they know that. There is nothing to hide there.”

He added, “I have had my share of ups and downs, bankruptcy and mistakes which I have written in the book. I suffered great losses due to bad investments. All of this happened when my son was dealing with schizophrenia. I tried to prevent my son from committing suicide but I couldn’t and I felt guilty.”
