Kabir Bedi and Protima Gupta separated in 1977, also they
had a daughter Pooja Bedi. The actor in his memoir candid talks how open
marriage with Gupta only gave him anxiety. He believed it lacked intimacy and
magic. He states Parveen Babi filled that void. Kabir said, “Our open marriage might
have looked like a great idea initially. In the end, it merely caused me higher
anxiety. It had contributed to a lack of intimacy between us. I didn’t feel the
love that I needed, the caring and sharing I wanted. Nor was unable to provide
it. The old magic had gone. I was feeling lonely, empty and dejected.”
“Parveen Babi filled that void. She had been a
ravishingly beautiful actress with fair skin, long black hair and dark,
mesmerising eyes. Until then, I’d always thought of her as ‘the girlfriend
of Danny Denzongpa ‘,” Kabir Bedi added.
Kabir according to an excerpt discovered by Hindustan
Times added, “He was a good-looking Sikkimese actor, two years younger than me,
a year older than Parveen. In the years ahead, he would develop into an extremely
successful villain in Bollywood and also be nominated for several Filmfare
Awards. Parveen started her rapid rise to stardom during their four years
together. Her living openly with Danny, wearing jeans and smoking in public,
had given her a bohemian image in India. However, she had been a conservative
Gujarati girl. While the rest of the Juhu gang discussed the ‘free sex’
preaching of Guru Osho, she believed in sexual fidelity. It’s what I was
looking for when I fell in love with her.”
Kabir Bedi further proceeds to explain the day he
broke the news of his love for Parveen Babi to Protima Gupta. He explained,
“There wasn’t any simple way to break the news (to Protima). ‘I’m going over to
Parveen’s tonight,’ I said softly when she came in. ‘Parveen’s!’ she repeated
in surprise. I could see her computing what must have happened. ‘But I’ve only
just arrived. Can’t you stay tonight at least?’ I shook my head. ‘No, I have to
be with her tonight … and every night.’ In that moment, she realised that our
relationship had changed forever. She let out a deep breath and looked at me.
‘Do you love her?’ I nodded, not without sadness. ‘Does she love you?’ she
asked, her voice a notch higher. ‘Yes,’ I said gruffly, wanting to cry.”
“I knew I was ending a relationship where we’d shared
life-changing experiences together, happy and unhappy, moral and immoral, for
six tumultuous years. However, I didn’t want to show vulnerability. I had to be
strong to end it. I held her by the shoulders to embrace her goodbye. She clung
to me and burst out crying. Then she sat down on the bed and sighed deeply
before she spoke. ‘Please leave me alone now,’ she said in a firm voice as
tears welled in her eyes. Kabir said, ‘Leave me alone. Please go!’ Our ‘open
marriage’ has been over,”.
