Kiran Bedi India First Woman Officer
A biopic of Kiran Bedi, India’s first woman IPS officer, has been announced. It is named “Bedi: The Name You Know.” The story you do not know.Dream Slate Pictures announced the biography in Delhi.
Bedi, once India’s national junior tennis champion, joined the IPS in 1972. She became well-known for her anti-drug campaign in Delhi. She also implemented reforms in Delhi’s Tihar jail, earning her the coveted Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1994. Bedi, known for her staunch anti-corruption stance, retired from the IPS and entered politics. She served as Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry from 2016 to 2021.
Bedi stated, “This is not only my tale. It is the story of an Indian woman who grew up in India, educated in India, was reared by Indian parents, and has spent her whole career working for the Indian people. My narrative began when I was nine years old, when my father told me, ‘Life is on an incline; you either go up or down,’ and my mother remarked, ‘You shall be a giver rather than a receiver.’ These statements have been my guiding values. As we plan to broadcast this film during the 50th International Year of the Woman, it will be the story of an Indian woman representing our beautiful nation on a global scale.”
Chawla remarked, “This film is a labor of love.” Four years of extensive study and scriptwriting have been spent to delivering an accurate and insightful representation of Kiran Bedi, India’s most beloved and renowned cop.”
“It is an honor and joy to write and direct a film on Kiran Bedi’s extraordinary life. She has been a huge influence to me, and having her trust in directing this film is a true blessing. In this feature film, I investigate heartwarming transformations, unseen successes, and Kiran Bedi’s amazing personal and professional journey as the first woman to negotiate the male-dominated world of policing. I believe that the audience will actually get to know the woman behind the khaki and be inspired.
Megan Doneman directed the documentary “Kiran Bedi: Yes Madam, Sir,” which was released in 2008. The Telugu-language film “Karthavyam,” largely based on Bedi’s biography, was a box-office success in 1990.
