When asked about how Vera is handling the sudden fame, the actor revealed, “She was very overwhelmed and scared as well. One day she was unable to focus on her work and said, ‘Papa, people are making AI images of me, galat galat images bana rahe hain. Some are making posts comparing me to Aishwarya and Kareena and talking rubbish like I’ll eat up 10 Aishwaryas or 10 Kareenas.’”
He further requested people not to create AI-generated images of his daughter or son and added, “I mean, this is wrong. She is happy too, but somewhere she is not liking the way it’s coming out. People are making inappropriate AI images of her, and there are too many fan pages about her and my son as well.”
Rajat’s son, Vivaan Bedi, worked as an assistant director under Aryan Khan during The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Rajat revealed that his son aspires to become an actor in Bollywood and is working towards it. However, he also mentioned that his daughter Veera is still unsure whether she wants to enter the industry or not.
