Pooja Bedi

Pooja was born on 11th May 1971 to Protima (later re-christened as Gauri) and Kabir Bedi in Bombay, India. She was brought up very unconventionally and literally allowed to have her own way as a child. It was for this reason that she initially abstained from cigarettes and alcohol.She starred in Bollywood movies from 1991 through to 1995, and acted in the 2005 movie Ek Ajnabee, only to find out that the scene had been deleted.She married Farhan Ebrahim, her boyfriend of many years in 1995, and gave birth to Aalia and Omar in 1997 and 2000 respectively.In 1997 her 26 year old brother killed himself. The family faced more tragedy when her mom was killed while on a holy pilgrimage on the Himalayas in 1998.In May 2000 she interviewed Amitabh Bachchan for the Amul India Show to be aired on May 14 on Star TV. This interview appeared to have angered the Big B so much so that he called the hosts and Sameer Nair of Star TV to cancel it or else he threatened to walk out of the Kaun Banega Crorepati Show. Pooja wrote a letter to him, referring to him as 'Big Baby' and 'Big Bully', and chiding him of being grumpy, inarticulate, and defensive, even though she did not publicly humiliate him about his affairs nor of his involvement in B.O.F.O.R.S. or the failure of A.B.C.L. (Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd.). The interview has never aired on any Indian TV channel.She has taken part in theater, written books, especially on child care; has been an interior decorator; and now is a TV host for 'Not Just Page 3", and 'Just Pooja"; brand ambassador of Kaya Skin Clinic, and Country Club India, apart from being a wife and a mother of two.She is in process of also publishing her mom's memoirs.
