The year has started on an exceptional note for senior star Kabir Bedi with exciting news coming his way. At 75, the legendary thespian continues to win glorious accolades and honours for his much applauded book, ‘Stories I Must Tell: The Emotional Journey Of An Actor’. Now the autobiography has won the Amazon Books India’s most Popular Book of 2021 in Biographies and Memoirs section. Not just that, the actor who attained huge stardom spanning over three continents, in countries like India, the US and Italy in the ’70s and the ’80s, has been invited to participate in Grande Fratello VIP, the Italian version of the reality television franchise Big Brother, involving celebrities.
Bedi has won the coveted award by beating other nominees like Priyanka Chopra, Rakesh Omprakash Mehra and Indra Nooyi. Quite a huge feat for Bedi who took to writing his autobiography after the onset of the pandemic. The book was released in April during a difficult time when bookstores were closed due to the pandemic, however, it gained its place on the top soon enough, becoming a national bestseller post its release and now, it’s an award-winning book too!
But it’s not time for the actor to celebrate just yet as he has been in Italy under quarantine for the last few days as a preparation process to enter the Grande Fratello VIP, and today he entered the house as a contestant. This year, it happens to be the most watched show of all seasons and Kabir is a late entrant to the house. He will celebrate his 76th birthday on 16th January in the house while 15th January happens to be his wedding anniversary with wife, Parveen Dusanj-Bedi.
There is a huge buzz and excitement across Italy and other European countries about the Sandokan superstar entering the house in the Italy. We wish him all the best.
