“We had a magically beautiful intimate ceremony in Alibaug. Only members of both families, and a few close friends were present. It was held amid palms, on the lawns of a beautiful beach-front home that belongs to Dipak and Sohni Tanna, who is my niece. It was a traditional ceremony preceded by blessings at the gurdwara."
Kabir Bedi has been in a relationship with Parveen Dusanj for more than 10 years now. In fact, he even proposed to her 6 years back in Rome at the historic Spanish Steps location. However, it was Parveen who said that she would tell the right time to get married.
“Parveen and I have been together for more than 10 years. The timing of the marriage at this time was really Parveen’s decision. I had proposed to her on Rome’s historic Spanish Steps six years ago on a bended knee. She agreed, but kept me in suspense as to when [we would tie the knot]. As friends and family were flying in from all over the world for my birthday, Parveen felt this was the best time to get married. So it all happened very suddenly.”
