Rajat Bedi opens up on his daughter being compared to Kareena Kapoor

Rajat Bedi has returned to the screen as Jaraj Saxena in Netflix's "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," bringing attention not only to himself but also to his daughter, Vera Bedi, who has become a social media sensation due to comparisons with Kareena Kapoor. Rajat acknowledges this newfound attention as a novel experience for his family, describing Vera as a very down-to-earth person.

Vera Bedi gained spotlight at The Ba***ds of Bollywood

Vera Bedi gained significant attention when she accompanied her father to the premiere of Aryan Khan's directorial debut, "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," in Mumbai.

Following the event, numerous photos circulated online, with users praising her appearance. Comments included, "She's stunning," and "Both kids are so beautiful." Another read, "She resembles Kareena, which is undeniable."

Rajat Bedi on the comparisons

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, Rajat tells Hindustan Times.

Talking about people comparing Vera to Kareena, Rajat shares, She is just overwhelmed... because that attention is not just from India, but global… People are calling from America, Canada, London, Dubai, everywhere. 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.

Revealing how his kids deal with these situations

Given Rajat's extensive experience in the film industry, he is well-versed in the advantages and challenges of public attention. Consequently, he was asked if he had discussed this with his daughter and son, Vivaan Bedi.

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. 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, says the actor, who was also seen in Koi Mil Gaya.

Revealing his children’s future plans

Rajat's children are now considering careers in showbiz. His son, Vivaan, collaborated with Aryan Khan on "The Ba***ds of Bollywood" for over two years and is preparing to further his career. Rajat excitedly stated, "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."

When asked about his daughter's plans, Rajat responded, "She is thinking about it. She never did, but now she is."
