Kabir Bedi's former wife, Protima Bedi had once revealed that Parveen Babi was not the reason for her separation from the actor.
If there is one actor who has always been known for his casanova nature, keeping multiple affairs, it is Kabir Bedi. The actor, famously known to be a lady's man, would make top actresses go weak on their knees. This was because of his good looks, and secondly another reason for his multiple marriages. His most talked about affair was with Parveen Babi. However, Kabir's ex-wife, Protima had made an exciting revelation about Parveen.
Protima Bedi, in one of the controversial interviews with Stardust, in 1997 stated that Parveen was not the cause of her divorce from Kabir Bedi. Parveen and Kabir's affair was scandalous, and she was the most talked about woman back in the 1980s. There was gossip abuzz that Parveen was responsible for breaking Protima's home. Things were different in real as Protima had clarified the truth. The talented Odissi dancer revealed that her relationship with Kabir had ended when Parveen entered into an affair with the actor. In the words of Protima:
"I’ve never held Parveen responsible for breaking up my marriage. It happened long before she entered the scene. We have stopped being a man and a woman. Sex had finished between Kabir and me. My body was not his. I am a sensuous woman and Kabir did indulge me for seven years. He could take anything from me except unfaithfulness. And I was unfaithful to Kabir. When he finally left home to shack with Parveen, I was relieved! When Parveen came into his life Kabir was trying to escape from me."
In the scandalous interview, Protima also revealed that she was the one who pushed him to pursue his relationship with Parveen. She grabbed eyeballs when she made this shocking claim. This was because Parveen had ended her relationship with Kabir and did not want him in her life. She had made peace with the reality and was fine with her former husband, enjoying his life with Parveen. Protima said:
“It’s true that I encouraged Kabir and Parveen to have an affair and why not? I was then busy trying to untangle complications from my own life and wanted Kabir off my back. Kabir and I no longer attracted each other sexually. Why should I have been the dog, sorry bitch in the manger? Kabir needed a social outlet. It was at a party in my house that I saw them giving each other the vibes and I went out of my way to encourage them. Parveen came to me the next day and told me about it. I told her that I didn’t mind and they could go ahead. I wanted them to have fun.”
Protima Bedi had accepted Kabir Bedi's multiple affairs, but she did not want the women in his life to be serious with him. Parveen was disheartened when Kabir decided to leave home and enter a live-in relationship with Parveen.
