International artiste Kabir Bedi Turns 74, 2020
Actor Kabir Bedi enjoys an immensely successful and versatile career spanning 5 decades, three continents and various media platforms. As he turns 74, we got in touch with him for a freewheeling chat.
On Italian Series “La tigre è ancora viva: Sandokan alla riscossa!” 1964
Sandokan set the stage for my international career. Then The Thief of Baghdad (1978) and Octopussy (1983) happened. It was very difficult at that time. No one was writing roles for people like me but today they are, which makes me very happy since this is what we fought for and this is what we wanted.
On Setting Trends in Bollywood
My career in Bollywood has been very brief. From the stint in Khoon Bhari Maang to where I have done films like Main Hoon Na, Kites and Mohenjodaro. So, most of my career has been abroad.
On Life
“One ( value ) is positivism”. “… taking little portions of spices like turmeric, dalchini, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, honey, etc. and a little portion of all that. I believe they really work”.
On Granddaughter Alaia
She is an unbeatable combination because she has prepared herself. I am not saying this because she is my granddaughter, but you will see that with the first two movies she is doing. Jawaani Jaaneman and one with Anurag Kashyap which are two different roles which she has pulled off brilliantly.
“…We are living in the most exciting time in history. It’s great that I am living in this age”.
