Actor Rajat Bedi, who has recently gained attention for his role in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut series The Ba***ds Of Bollywood, opened up about working with Aryan and addressed the common misconception that Aryan’s success came easily because of his superstar father, Shah Rukh Khan.
Rajat Bedi praises Aryan Khan’s hard work: “It’s his talent, not just his father’s fame”
Rajat emphasized that no star can make their child perform in front of the camera. He said, “Kisi aur ke bacche ko equipment dekar dekh lo”—meaning if you give the same equipment to someone else’s child, they might not deliver the same results.
Working with Aryan Khan
The Ba***ds of Bollywood has been receiving positive reviews from both critics and audiences. Rajat gave full credit to Aryan and his team for their dedication and hard work on the project. “The show is the result of Aryan and all his associates. That boy has worked very hard. Please don’t ever think that he is Shah Rukh’s son and got everything on a platter. He has worked tirelessly. He barely sleeps and is always busy,” Rajat said.
He also shared a sweet behind-the-scenes story, “He used to shoot scenes on his phone with his friends. Sometimes, he’d film something at home and then show it to us the next day. It was really cute.” Interestingly, Rajat revealed that he didn’t even read a script before agreeing to be part of the show. “It was just a thought in Aryan’s head. He told me, ‘I’m going to write it, but I want you for this character.’ He didn’t know everything yet, but he knew he wanted me,” Rajat added. Best known for his role in Koi… Mil Gaya, Rajat plays Jaraj Saxena in The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
Addressing the ‘Shah Rukh Khan Ka Beta’ Tag
Rajat acknowledged that many people still assume Aryan had it easy because of his famous father. However, he stressed that this shouldn’t overshadow Aryan’s hard work and commitment.
He said, “What Shah Rukh ka beta? There are many wealthy people with kids. I say, give all the equipment to some other rich kid and ask them to make a film. I dare you. You can’t, because a star can’t make his child act in front of the camera.” He explained further, “A star can open doors and provide opportunities, but it’s the child who has to perform in front of and behind the camera. That is exactly what happened here.” Rajat himself made a comeback after 15 years with this Netflix series.
Aryan’s Personality Off Camera
Though Aryan often appears reserved on screen, Rajat revealed a different side to him off camera. He described Aryan as playful, witty, and full of good manners. “He is very naughty and funny. His manners, respect, and humility towards everyone are remarkable. I have to give credit to Shah Rukh for the way he and Gauri have raised their children,” Rajat shared.
Recalling a personal experience, Rajat said, “When I first met Aryan, he came to pick me up from my car, escorted me upstairs, and then walked me back to the car when I left. He didn’t have to do that—he’s Shah Rukh Khan’s son—but I was really touched by his respect. The way he treats everyone on set is truly humble.” He concluded, “That respect and humility come from his parents. It’s impressive.”
