Stories I Must Tell: The Emotional Life of an Actor is the no-holds-barred autobiography of India’s first truly international film star. The journey of a middle-class boy from Delhi whose career took him to the heights of fame across the world. An unusually candid story of his strengths, weaknesses and turbulent relationships.

In this intimate self-portrait, Kabir talks of spirituality and the meaning of life; chatting with Federico Fellini and Audrey Hepburn, dancing with Gina Lollobrigida, friendship with Omar Sharif and Michael Caine, and being the villain of a Bond film. An unputdownable story of his trailblazing journey -- from Bollywood to Italy and Hollywood -- told straight from the heart.

This book was an unexpected delight! I had no intention of reading it and started with low expectations. However, listening to the audiobook, narrated by the author Kabir Bedi himself, was a game-changer. His deep, husky voice brought his life story and writing to life, and I finished the book in less than a week!
I was only familiar with the author's role in the movie Khoon Bhari Maang, so by the end of the book, I was astonished, surprised, emotional, and proud. The revelations in each chapter left me gasping. I shared new and controversial information with my friends, cousins, and colleagues as I read, and despite not being readers, they were equally interested.
Kabir's writing has been brutally honest about his life - his relationships, affairs, money troubles, failed marriages and family drama. He's put it all out there, the good, the bad and the ugly.
Big names are thrown around like they're just any other character in the book - Kapil Sibal, Randhir Singh, S. Y. Quraishi (Former Chief Election Commissioner of India), and even childhood stories with the Gandhi sons (Sanjay & Rajiv). It's so random that it makes you wonder if the author's just name-dropping to get attention (but then again, a global star like him probably doesn't need to).
The books provided a captivating glimpse into the lives of the author's parents - his father, a revered philosopher and 16th descendant of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, and his mother, a devout Buddhist nun. Both were spiritual leaders, ardent nationalists, and influential figures in post-partition Kashmir.
The only thing that bugged me about the whole experience was that the audiobook was different from the original book. They changed words, cut lines, removed sections, and even left out names! There might be reasons for it, but it was annoying for me. I like to play the audiobook while reading the book – especially with memoirs, it's like getting an enhanced experience, hearing it from the author themselves. I guess my reading style is kinda limited.
It is absolutely worth reading this book at least once. The author is a global icon in film, television, and theater, and we should be proud of his accomplishments.
