has announced another comeback to the Italian small screen with
his appearance as an amorous Arab royal in the soap opera "Vivere" ("Living")
shooting on the shores of Lake Como. At a December 17 press conference in the northern Italian resort, Kabir said: "I will play the part of Ibrahim Al-Darham, a 'good' character, who is integrated and at ease in the 'community' of Vivere. I can't reveal anything, but there will certainly also be a love story." Kabir's Vivere episodes will be aired in the spring of 2006 by Canale 5, one of the TV channels of Italian media tycoon - and Prime Minister - Silvio Berlusconi. Following his appearance in the Isola dei Famosi reality show and the Italian movie A+R Andata + Ritorno, Kabir said he welcomed the opportunity to appear as "special guest" in an Italian soap, which he said are every bit as exciting as their US counterparts. "It was an experience which I missed and which I never had time to enjoy. After Isola dei Famosi I shot two films in India and took part in a major production in the UK. Vivere to me is an occasion to do something in Italy. I played in [The Bold and the] Beautiful and in General Hospital and I think Italian soaps have nothing to be ashamed of compared with US ones." "My career has always been based on popular parts," Kabir added. "They are parts that I love because the rapport with the viewers is stronger and is bigger than the biggest award you could get." The series' artistic director, Bruno Stefani, said Kabir will be one of several new faces to appear in the programme next year, including an entire family. They will all be played by well-known actors, Stefani said without giving any names. Kabir said his father often came to Lake Como when he was living in Milan. "I think he knew all the restaurants!" According to local newspaper Corriere Di Como, Kabir's meeting with the press at the historic Villa Olmo was quite a grand affair. "Kabir Bedi, smiling, in a crimson shirt, with his ever-present scarf around his neck, was relaxed in the luxurious gardens created by Pliny the Younger, as he allowed the photographers to immortalise him against the poetic backdrop and, later, in the rooms of the neoclassical building where Napoleon and the emperors of Austria once set foot." The paper said Kabir had to struggle through a big throng of media people to get to the table. Kabir was invited to next year's Festival Lago di Como, along with the rest of the cast. "Kabir Bedi will always be in Italian hearts as Sandokan and Il Corsaro Nero. Is there anyone in the generation of 30-40 year-olds who does not have the Pirate of Malaysia in their heart?" the paper said.
