In a recent interview with Digital Commentary, Kabir Bedi talked about why he and Parveen broke up. He revealed that it came to an end when he had her seek medical attention, as he was aware of her mental health issues. Kabir recalled an event in which Parveen was with him in Italy while he was establishing himself as a global celebrity.

Traveling to London, he sensed something was right with Parveen’s mental health. Due to this, he advised her to seek therapy since she was starting to exhibit signs of paranoia. That was the main reason behind their breakup. Kabir further disclosed that Parveen Babi left him because she was afraid he would make her seek medical attention. She even believed that once Indians learned about her condition, they would no longer approach her for movie projects. Kabir said,

Vo toh isliye humare relationship ki khatam hui kyunki jab Italy ke baad hum London aaye mai ne dekha uski condition kharab ho rahi hai. Aur usko yeh manjoor nahi tha, jab ki mai janta tha ki agar vo treatment nahi legi toh haal bigadta jayega. Or is baat pe huamri separation hogayi.

She left him is darr ke ki he will force me to have treatment. Or paranoid mind jo hote hai vo her cheej se darte hai toh usko laga doctor ko pata chal gaya toh vo industry ko bta dega, mera career khatam ho jayega. Toh Parveen Babi left me, I didn’t left her.
