The Ba***ds Of Bollywood has changed the life of Rajat Bedi and also that of his family members. He, wife Monaliza, son Vivaan and daughter Vera walked the red carpet at the premiere of the web series and in no time, their pictures and videos went viral. Vera, especially, is being extensively talked about and also being compared with Kareena Kapoor Khan. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rajat Bedi talked about this aspect.
EXCLUSIVE: Rajat Bedi reveals his children’s reaction to overnight fame: “They are OVERWHELMED; my daughter said, ‘What has happened to people? They are comparing me to Kareena Kapoor Khan!”; predicts huge response if Jaani Dushman re-releases: “People would come out in HORDES”
Rajat Bedi said, “My children had no idea about the industry. They live in Canada and don’t know the concept of media, red carpet etc. In fact, for the first time, they walked the red carpet. They are innocent children who are suddenly taken by storm. They are completely overwhelmed. My daughter said, ‘What has happened to people? They are comparing me to Kareena’ (laughs)! And this is happening globally. She has suddenly become a global name.”
Rajat continued, “My son is also now being picked up. As a father, I feel so proud. Every parent wants their children to do well. The Ba***ds Of Bollywood has helped my family get recognition across the world.”
At another point in the interview, Rajat Bedi talked about losing his father Narendra Bedi at an early age. Narendra made films like Jawani Diwani (1972), Benaam (1974), Sanam Teri Kasam (1982), Adalat (1977) etc.
Rajat said, “I lost my father when he was just 45. I really miss having a father in my life. Me, my brother and sister grew up with a lot of struggles. My mother was a housewife. We are all self-made. There was goodwill of my father as well as my grandfather (Rajinder Singh Bedi). I am telling you, there’s some blessing from the universe because of which I have become relevant again. The universe has got me back. Now the audience will see that the makers do something, as they definitely want to see me. I am sure the makers will create something for me.”
In the era of re-releases, would he like it if his classic film Jaani Dushman (2002) releases again in cinemas? The actor smiled and said, “I am sure that if that happens, people would go in hordes to watch that film!”
Rajat Bedi signed off by talking excitedly about the next phase of his career, “I feel that I have got my due now in the industry. I feel I was left out. Maybe some people must have connected with my work; some didn’t. But I have worked a lot. I have height, body and personality. Main faad dunga. I have a lot of fire in me. I hope and pray that the directors and producers keep me in mind and write roles for me. I hope that they don’t get overpowered by heroes and the discussion that ‘uska role utna hona chahiye’. For Aryan, I came without baggage. Often, during casting, actors are typecast. But I can deliver. Like, I had not done comedy earlier. But my role in this show is comic. There’s also pain and aggression. I have a variation in my role in this show. I am definitely looking forward to filmmakers giving me an opportunity to perform and offer me strong roles.”
