Actor Rajat Bedi has successfully made his comeback with a role as Jaraj Saxena in the recent Netflix series, The Ba*ds of Bollywood, but the spotlight has unexpectedly shifted to his daughter, Vera Bedi. Social media is currently abuzz over Vera’s stunning looks, with users drawing immediate and widespread comparisons between her and Bollywood superstar Kareena Kapoor. Rajat Bedi admits that this sudden, intense public attention is a completely new and overwhelming experience for his entire family.
Photos of Vera Bedi from a recent event quickly went viral, igniting a massive reaction online. Social media users were quick to rave about her looks, with many comparing her favorably to the established actress. One commenter wrote, “Better than Kareena with blue eyes,” while another simply shared, “Both kids are so beautiful.” The comparisons were persistent, with one comment reading, “More beautiful than Kareena,” and another noting, “Kareena’s aura is her aura, but she also looks alike, which we can’t deny.”
Rajat Bedi confirmed that the attention has been instant and global. “My whole family has got into the spotlight. It’s not just me alone. My children are exposed right now because of me and the show. They have gone viral, and it’s crazy,” he told Hindustan Times.
Rajat Bedi Overwhelmed by Global Attention and Maintaining Simplicity
The comparisons to Kareena Kapoor and the sudden surge of fame have understandably affected Vera Bedi. Rajat shared that his daughter is “just overwhelmed” by the attention, especially since it is coming not just from India but globally. “People are calling from America, Canada, London, Dubai, everywhere,” he said. He emphasized that Vera is a very grounded person who was unprepared for this kind of scrutiny. “She is so simple, and she has never been exposed to anything like this. This is the first time in her life that she has gone to a red carpet event with her father. She is so simple.”
The actor, who has been part of the film industry since childhood and is known for roles in films like Koi Mil Gaya, is acutely aware of the unpredictable perks and pitfalls that accompany fame. When asked if he has discussed how to handle the intense public spotlight with his daughter and son, Vivaan Bedi, Rajat admitted that the conversation is yet to happen formally.
“No, I have not yet spoken to them about how to deal with it. But they know they have to be humble, respectful with any and everyone,” he affirmed. Despite the sudden fame, he is confident in their upbringing. “You’ll never see my children have any attitude or anything with anyone… That being said, this is all so new to them and they are also overwhelmed,” he added, highlighting the need for them to process the speed at which their lives have changed.
The Next Generation of Bedis in Showbiz
It appears that Rajat Bedi’s children are now seriously considering following him into showbiz. His son, Vivaan Bedi, has already taken significant steps behind the camera, spending over two years working with Aryan Khan on his directorial debut, The Ba*ds of Bollywood. Vivaan is now preparing to make his foray in front of the camera.
“When we talk about my son, planning is going on to launch him right now. So, God willing, you’ll see something on that soon,” Rajat said with evident excitement.
The viral attention has also had a direct influence on his daughter’s career plans. When asked if Vera Bedi is planning to enter the film industry, Rajat shared, “She is thinking about it. She never did, but now she is,” suggesting that the overwhelming public reaction and the comparisons to a star like Kareena Kapoor may have opened a new door of possibilities for her. The Bollywood landscape may soon welcome two new talents from the Bedi family.
