On April 27, 1959 a "crime of passion" sent shockwaves rippling through Bombay. A Navy commander had murdered a ritzy romeo with a penchant for defence personnel's wives.

The agent provocateur was Prem Ahuja, a businessman and a philandering high society playboy who wore his heart on his sleeve and had almost whisked away Commander Kawas Nanavati's alluring English wife Sylvia from under his nose.When three bullets from the smoking gun barrel put an end to the fatal attraction.

Such an incident was unheard of in the higher echelons of the Bombay society and the "original crime of passion" and the trial thereafter immediately caught the imagination of the people in Bombay and nationwide.

Not just that. The case brought forth an upheavel in the judicial system of the country and was a landmark in India's legal history. From books to movies, the case spawned an interest unparalled till date.

To friends and family
Coming from a conservative bania family, Protima shocked her family by doing an ad for bras, says Kabir.
The streak to streak
Streakers love to cock-a-snook (or other available parts) at a world obsessed with keeping the private bits hidden.
The wild wild '70s
We were the hell raisers, the pot smokers, the rule breakers of the 70s, says Kabir Bedi.
Protima's lovers
I was always falling in sex, says Protima when I thought that I was falling in love.

Protima may call me conservative. I was not conservative but I was certainly not outrageous. Between us, that respect for each other in a relationship had died - Kabir Bedi, filmstar, Protima's ex-husband

Why I streaked!
Society has a special way of turning a joyous expression into something ugly.

Here I am in all my totality. Those who have leered at women, lusted for them and gone through discovering just that little bit more, I say to them: come, see me I was born this way.

Our thoughts, our mind are narrow, arid and hollow. Emotionally we are starved. Religiously and intellectually, we are repetitive and dull.
Politically and economically, we are regimented and controlled.we are not a happy people. We are not free and joyous.

At home, in our temples and in our schools, we never achieve a creative being. There is no deep release in our daily thoughts and actions.

One of our hindrances in free living is fear and respectively manifestation of that fear.

They know not the meaning of the axion that truth is beauty and beauty truth.

They are enclosed by the walls of their own righteousness and cannot see beyond.

Their stained glass morality based on orthodoxy, conventions and taboos has nothing to do with morality.
