Veteran actor Kabir Bedi and his daughter, Pooja Bedi, were estranged for ‘2-3 years’. While neither of them publicly disclosed the reason behind their estrangement, it was widely rumoured to be related to a property dispute. Kabir, who has had four failed marriages—including one with Pooja’s mother, Protima Bedi—has been married to Parveen Dusanj since 2016. In a recent interview, the actor opened up about the period of estrangement with his daughter and also spoke about his relationship with his current wife, Parveen.
During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan on his podcast, Kabir Bedi was asked about the reason behind his ‘misunderstandings’ with Pooja Bedi. “There are problems in every relationship sometimes. I don’t want to repeat the reasons again. However, there were a few misunderstandings – she did things that upset me, I must have done things that upset her. Important cheez yeh hai ki 2-3 saal, we were separated because of disagreements. Ab vo khatam hogaye hain,” he said.
Kabir added, “Our relationship is going strong now. It’s a good relationship between father and daughter, and I am very proud of all the things she is doing. There’s a lot of love and respect between us.”
Kabir Bedi also talked up about his bond with wife Parveen Dusanj. “Acha rishta hai. We have great mutual respect for each other. Parveen has her own career, she is a producer who produced Bad Boy Billionaire for Netflix. She has got various other projects, she is developing. She has her career, Pooja has her own career,” he said.
When asked if his marriage with Parveen Dusanj was the reason behind differences with Pooja Bedi, Kabir replied, “Whatever the reason, let’s not go into that. Parveen wasn’t the only reason. There were other reasons that divided us, other misunderstandings between father and daughter which had nothing to do with Parveen. Khushi ki baat yeh hai ki all this is resolved. I love Pooja. I love Parveen. They love being in the same city and meeting on occasions. All is well.”
On the work front, Kabir Bedi will next be seen in the reboot of his Italian series Sandokan.
