In Bollywood, Kabir has worked in several films but his biggest hit was Khoon Bhari Maang, which also starred Rekha.

“Director Rakesh Roshan called when I was shooting ‘Magnum P.I.’ with Tom Selleck in Hawaii. “Why me? I asked, Bollywood on strike? He said: The hero becomes the villain, no hero will accept. My biggest hit,” the veteran actor tweeted recently.

Khoon Bhari Maang is a remake of the Australian mini-series Return to Eden (1983). Rekha plays the role of a wealthy widow who is almost killed by her husband (Kabir Bedi) and sets out for revenge.
