Kabir Bedi as Gobinda in ‘Octopussy’.

Gobinda is a character from the James Bond film, Octopussy. He is played by Indian actor Kabir Bedi.

Gobinda is Kamal Khan’s chief henchman and bodyguard. He is a man of few words, possesses a huge physical presence, and has the strength to crush dice with his bare hand. He follows Khan everywhere, and chases Bond through the streets of Delhi, as well as through the Indian jungle. He has also attempted to murder Bond for his own reasons as shown after Bond beats Khan in a game of backgammon. Obedient to the end, Gobinda only questions his orders when Khan forces him to climb onto the outside of an airborne plane to get Bond. Unfortunately the lack of grip on the outside of a plane is Gobinda’s undoing, and he falls to his death.
