Actor Kabir Bedi’s 26-year-old son commits suicide; Recalling the incident, he said, “The biggest thing in my life…”
Actors in the film industry are seen being discussed because of the roles they play in films. Many actors leave their mark on their acting through a role. They create a different identity for them. Actor Kabir Bedi is known for many films like ‘Kismat’, ‘Aatan Hi Aatan’, ‘Naagin’, ‘Ye Aag Kab Buzegi’, ‘Salami’, ‘Kranti’. Now, however, in an interview, he has made a statement about his son’s death.
What did Kabir Bedi say?
Veteran actor Kabir Bedi recently gave an interview to ‘Digital Commentary’. In this interview, he was asked about his son’s death. Speaking on it, Kabir Bedi said, “The tragedy of my son was that he was a very intelligent boy. He was admitted to America’s most important Information Technology College. After that, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I have written about Siddharth’s last days in my book. There is one story. It is about how a father stops his son from committing suicide. Imagine what I must have thought. What happens in such a situation, I have written from the heart and in the end I could not win this battle. This is probably the biggest tragedy of my life,” Kabir Bedi has expressed his feelings. In 1997, his son Siddharth committed suicide at the age of 26.
Kabir Bedi has written the book ‘Stories I Must Tell: The Emotional Life of an Actor’. Earlier, in an interview given to ‘Aaj Tak’, he had said that whatever I have written in the book, I have written from the heart. I have also written in detail the bad things that happened to me. No one will object to that. Because- it’s true; there’s nothing to hide.
Talking about the failure, he had said that I had to face a lot of losses because I made the wrong investment. All this happened when my son was struggling with schizophrenia. I tried everything I could to prevent my son from taking his own life, but I wasn’t able to save him. I felt guilty about it. At the same time, I was also facing financial crisis. I used to go for auditions; but I didn’t know what to do. Due to my condition, I lost a lot of jobs. I was emotionally devastated. How I got back on my feet from there is part of my journey.
Meanwhile, Kabir Bedi made his Bollywood debut in 1971 with the film ‘Halchal‘. After that, he also worked in Italian TV shows and films in the 1980s. In 1990, he started working in Hindi films again.
