Bollywood actor Rajat Bedi's daughter, Vera, is in the spotlight, but not in the way she imagined! The sudden surge of fame has left her feeling overwhelmed and anxious, especially with the constant comparisons to iconic actresses Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai.
In a revealing interview, Rajat Bedi shared his daughter's reaction to this newfound attention. Vera, who accompanied her father to the screening of his latest series, The Ba****ds of Bollywood, instantly became the center of attention. But here's where it gets controversial—people started drawing parallels between her and the young versions of Kareena and Aishwarya. And this is the part most people miss—these comparisons have made their way into AI-generated images and social media posts, which Vera finds disturbing.
Rajat Bedi expressed his concern, saying, 'She was scared and couldn't focus on her work. She told me people are creating AI images of her and making inappropriate comparisons.' He pleaded with fans to respect his daughter's privacy and stop generating AI content featuring her. But the story doesn't end there—Rajat's son, Vivaan, is also in the public eye, working as an assistant director under Aryan Khan in the same series. While Vivaan aspires to be an actor, his sister, Veera, is still undecided about joining the industry.
Rajat Bedi, a veteran actor himself, is no stranger to the limelight. With a lineage of Bollywood royalty, including his father, director-producer Narendra Bedi, and grandfather, the esteemed Urdu writer-director Rajinder Singh Bedi, Rajat has left his mark on the industry. His breakthrough role in the 2003 sci-fi hit Koi... Mil Gaya, where he played the antagonist opposite Hrithik Roshan, solidified his place in Bollywood. Since then, he has appeared in numerous notable films, such as Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani and Partner, and has also ventured into Punjabi and South Indian cinema.
The Ba****ds of Bollywood, directed by Aryan Khan, marks Rajat's recent comeback. This satirical web series, now streaming on Netflix, features a stellar cast, including Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, and Bobby Deol, with cameos by the Khans of Bollywood—Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir—and Karan Johar. The series has sparked conversations, and the Bedi family's involvement has added an intriguing layer to the narrative.
