Usko manjoor nahi tha ki..' This actress left her boyfriend a year before her death, broke up due to..., her name was...
For several years, there's been endless rumours and gossips about Kabir Bedi and Parveen Babi's relationship, and why they broke up suddenly. While, many villainised Bedi as he walked away, the actor once opened up and revealed his side of the story.
Kabir revealed that when they went to London, he observed Parveen wasn't keeping well mentally, and persuaded her to seek help. Well, it was the major reason why she left him, and refused to heed his advice. While talking to Digital Commentary, Kabir was quoted saying, 'Vo toh isliye humare relationship ki khatam hui kyunki jab Italy ke baad hum London aaye mai ne dekha uski condition kharab ho rahi hai. Aur usko yeh manjoor nahi tha, jab ki mai janta tha ki agar vo treatment nahi legi toh haal bigadta jayega. Or is baat pe huamri separation hogayi.'
The actor also revealed how he was accused for their breakup, with many claiming the reason was Parveen's mental instability. Defending himself at that time, Kabir said, 'I was demonised but I thought that I could either clear up the misunderstanding and make her look bad or just keep quiet and let her get the sympathy and get the roles so that she can reestablish herself and her career. I spoke about it five years later at the Filmfare.'
Kabir also recalled meeting Parveen just a year prior her death, 'I met her a year before she passed away. She was laying beside the pool, sunning herself and she said, 'Oh, Kabir.' She was embarassed to see me, she had changed a lot. She told me, 'I'm fine but people think I'm mad.' I told her, 'You have made accusations against people and naturally they will have an opinion.' She looked at me and said, 'You also think I'm mad. You are one of them. I don't want to see you again. Please leave.' I wished her well and left. I was sorry to see her in that state. But she had a flat and she was looked after, she was working as an interior designer.'
Kabir concluded by saying that he always cared for her and wanted her to seek help. But, her fear of losing out on work and other opportunities, was the major issue, hence his attempts failed to support her.

Bollywood actor Kabir Bedi grew up with former Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi and his brother Sanjay Gandhi and in a recent interaction, he recalled how he would play with them in school and how their bond lasted till Rajiv became Prime Minister of India. He also recalled meeting Rajiv after he became the PM and how the politician refused to talk about any serious business with his childhood friend. Speaking to Filmfare about his association with the Gandhis, Kabir said, 'At that time, my mother knew Indira Gandhi. Rajiv Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi and I went to a school run by a German lady in Delhi. Rajiv was two years older than me and Sanjay was a year younger than me. We would play in a room that had a huge train set and we would play there. We were just kids fooling around. We would take horse-riding lessons together, attend all the birthday parties. It was a wonderful relationship and a close relationship.' Recalling his meeting with Rajiv after he became the PM, he shared, 'When Rajiv became Prime Minister, I went to see him and all the big politicians of the time were sitting there. Rajiv popped his head out, saw me and asked me to come in. He brought me in, pointed at the expanse of the Prime Minister's house and said, 'kahan phas gaya hun yaar (Where did I land up?)' ' He added, 'I told him to be serious because he is the Prime Minister, he responded, 'You don't tell me to be serious. Everybody is asking me to be serious. You are my friend, you and I won't talk about serious things.' When I was leaving, I hugged him and he looked tensed, and I realised he was wearing a bulletproof jacket under his clothes and I understood why he was tensed. I asked him to take care and next thing I knew he was assassinated. It was a personal loss for me. I had great respect for him and Sanjay.' Rajiv took office after the assassination of his mother, then–Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, becoming the youngest Prime Minister at the age of 40. He was assassinated in 1991.
