Actor Rajat Bedi is once again hogging the headlines after his powerful performance as Jaraj Saxena in the Netflix show The Ba***ds of Bollywood. But this time, it’s not just his role that has the internet buzzing, it’s his daughter, Vera Bedi, who stole the spotlight. While Vera has remained away from the limelight until now, she became an overnight social media sensation after accompanying her father to the glamorous premiere of Aryan Khan’s directorial debut in Mumbai.
Ever since a video of the family went viral, social media has been swooning over his daughter, with many drawing widespread comparisons between her and actor Kareena Kapoor Khan. Sitting down for an interview with a media outlet, Rajat Bedi addressed the sudden attention, admitting that it has been a “new experience” for the family.

Speaking to Hindustan Times, Rajat said, “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.”
On the comparisons being made between Vera and Kareena Kapoor, the actor added, “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.”

Rajat has been part of the film industry since childhood, and is well aware of the perks and downsides that come with the spotlight, including the intense public attention. On being asked if he has spoken about this with his children, Rajat said that they remain grounded despite the overnight attention.
“I have not yet spoken to them about how to deal with it. But they know they have to be humble and 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,” he stated.
