Kabir Bedi enjoys telling a good narrative, and luckily for him, his life is full with exciting adventures. He now enjoys bragging about his charitable endeavours, such as his involvement with an organisation that helps restore vision and strives for vaccination fairness in India. The actor opens out about the decisions that shaped his life, including organising a protest for more ethnic parts in Hollywood and experiencing superstardom in Europe.
But wasn’t alone; I had my beautiful wife, Parveen (Dusanj), who shielded me and made sure I didn’t get side-tracked; everything I needed to finish the book was there in front of me. As a result, I must convey my heartfelt gratitude to her. Your concerns are well-founded. Everyone, of course, has regrets. And I believe it is critical to accept those regrets, to grieve having made those errors, but, like the epidemic, to move on and look to the future with optimism.
It’s difficult because you have to go through it again. It’s difficult for me to talk about my son’s mental health difficulties and difficulty because I have to relive it. It’s easy to talk about my big accomplishments as a European celebrity, but it’s difficult to talk about the period when I encountered financial difficulties in Hollywood 20 years later, due to poor investments I made that almost drove me to bankruptcy. But it’s all part of what I set out to accomplish in the first place: speak the truth. I’ve had an incredible life, and the only way I can tell you about it is to tell you about it, flaws and all.
It’s about wonderful loves, but also huge heartbreaks, exhilarating moments of achievement, but also terrible devastation, and how I climbed above it all to be awarded the highest civilian honour by the Italians.
Folks who work really hard to become famous and famous have no right to complain when they are recognised or when their privacy is invaded when they are out in public. Yes, you lose some things—you can’t go to the beach and watch the sunset alone while admiring the people passing by and thinking about life the way you used to. But the truth is that it feels so much better to be recognised and admired for what you’ve accomplished. Take it as a complement rather than an invasion of your privacy when someone says, “Please take a selfie with me.”
