Meet actor Kabir Bedi's fourth wife Parveen Dusanj, younger than his daughter and actress Pooja Bedi
Kabir Bedi has lived a life juggling multiple film industries, continents, and families. In his new memoir, the actor dwells on the people who have shaped him, more than the events that transformed him.
In an interview with Digital Commentary, Kabir Bedi revealed he was in an open-marriage with first wife Protima Bedi. 'At that time, we felt that if we want to be together, it is for the kids. And if our inclination is such that she wants to have an affair and I want to also have an affair, the best thing we can do is have an open marriage,' Bedi said.

Documentary series on Pune's historical Ganesh temples released
1 2 Pune: A five-part documentary series explaining the significance of five Ganapati temples — Trishund Ganapati, Khinditla Ganapati, Gupchup Ganapati, Maticha Ganapati and Modi Ganapati — was released on Wednesday ahead of Ganeshotsav. Historian and president of Itihas Premi Mandal, Mohan Shete, has given a snapshot of history and the significance of these locally revered temples in the series. The videos are made with the help of AI, accompanied by Shete's commentary on the historical facts associated with the temples.

For example, if I need to explain something from an inscription that is not easily visible, it becomes easier to do so if it is captured on camera. Then, people can read the inscription in a better way," Shete said while unveiling two episodes of the documentary series. The remaining three episodes are slated to be released shortly. "It is a matter of concern that there are several videos on social media that disseminate wrong information about the historical relics in Pune. It is my responsibility to describe historically accurate facts," Shete said. During the filming, many locals approached the team and provided their interpretations or accounts of the history behind the temples, Shete said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo "We have attributed the source of information in places where there is no definite proof," he said. Shete also said these temples have very old traditions and interesting facts associated with them. "Maticha Ganapati has a tradition of hosting a socio-religious singing form of 'kirtan' going back 100 years. A very old person told me that he listened to a kirtan performance by prominent kirtankar, Govindswami Aphale, in his childhood," Shete said. In the case of Trishund Ganapati, a sculpture of a rhinoceros in chains on the walls indicates the British victory in the Battle of Plassey. "The current affairs of those times were captured in such scriptures," he said. The Modi Ganapati temple got its name from the Modi family, hailing from Gujarat, who lived in the area. Members of the family acted as mediators between the Peshwa and the British. "The construction of the Maticha Ganapati temple is said to date back to Moraya Gosavi, a contemporary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. There is a mention of this fable; however, there is no concrete evidence of this narrative; we have mentioned it accordingly in the video," he added. Shailesh Badve, who conceptualised the documentary, said the team hasmade use of AI to make these videos, but has ensured the images are accurate and do not hurt people's sentiments. "We have also used AI to create songs and music. After completing the Ganesh temple series, similar episodes on Maruti temples in Pune and historical temples in Pandharpur have been planned," Badve said.
