Kabir Bedi and Parveen Dusanjh photographed at a party in Mumbai.
Kabir Bedi is a happy man after marrying his long-time partner Parveen Dusanjh on January 15. The 70-year-old actor said that the marriage was "the most natural step forward", but it took him a decade to convince her family.
Mr Bedi gave his near and dear ones a surprise at his birthday celebrations on January 16 by announcing his marriage with Parveen. He got married in Alibaug in the presence of his close family and friends.
"Delighted to be married for the last time! Parveen and I have been together for 10 years, living in London, Rome, and Mumbai. So marriage was the most natural step forward," he said in a statement.
"We met when I was performing a play,
The Far Pavilions in the West End of London and she came to see the play. When I moved to Rome for a big Italian series
A Doctor in the Family for over a year, I missed her and asked her to come and live with me," he recalled.
He added: "Since then, after moving to Mumbai, she has been a great partner for me, in love and life, and we plan to do great things together through our media company BediMedia. At the beginning, her family was cautious and it's taken me a decade to convince them all. Parveen Dusanjh Bedi is the love of my life."
His friends were happy for him, but his daughter Pooja Bedi shared a very straight-forward comment on Twitter after her father's wedding. She wrote: "Every fairy tale has a wicked witch or an evil stepmother! Mine just arrived! Kabir Bedi just married Parveen Dusanjh."
Pooja then quickly retracted the tweet but the damage was done.

Pooja was understandably missing from the bevy of stars and friends in the wedding photographs, which surfaced online.
