\"Rajat Rajat Bedi<\/a> has become an overnight sensation after his powerful performance in Aryan Khan<\/a>\u2019s much-talked-about directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. In the show, he portrayed an actor who has been out of work for over 15 years \u2014 trapped in a sinister contract that prevents him from taking on new projects. Ironically, Rajat\u2019s real life wasn\u2019t very different.After nearly two decades away from the film industry \u2014 not by choice but due to a lack of opportunities \u2014 Rajat moved to Canada with his family, leaving behind the world he once knew.Now, back in Mumbai, he opened up to Farah Khan<\/a> on her YouTube vlog about how Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan became \u201cangels\u201d in his life.<\/p>\n

\u2018I met Shah Rukh Khan and broke down\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce, I met Shah Rukh Khan and broke down,\u201d Rajat recalled emotionally. \u201cI asked myself, \u2018What am I even doing in Canada?\u2019\u201dTalking about his decision to leave India, Rajat said, \u201cI did about 50 films \u2014 played the lead in around 20 of them. But things just didn\u2019t click. I had two choices \u2014 either switch to television or settle in Canada. I chose the latter. It was actually an overnight decision; I didn\u2019t have friends or family there. I just packed my bags and left.\u201dEven the massive success of Koi… Mil Gaya \u2014 one of the biggest blockbusters of its time \u2014 didn\u2019t open new doors. \u201cDespite the film\u2019s success, it didn\u2019t change much for me. I felt lost. I wanted to grow, to do more. That\u2019s when I moved to Canada and started doing construction work.\u201dHe laughed while recalling how people there recognized him but never remembered his name. \u201cEveryone would say, \u2018I think I\u2019ve seen you somewhere,\u2019 but they never knew my name. Now, thankfully, they do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Aryan\u2019s show was truly God-sent for me\u2019<\/p>\n

Everything changed when Aryan Khan reached out. \u201cAryan\u2019s show was truly God-sent for me,\u201d Rajat said with gratitude.He fondly remembered how it began: \u201cIn December 2022, I got a call from Bonnie Jain, who\u2019s part of Aryan Khan\u2019s team. He said, \u2018Aryan wants to see you.\u2019 I thought it was a prank! I laughed and said, \u2018What? Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s son wants to meet me? Why?\u2019 Then Bonnie told me Aryan was directing a project and wanted me for a role. I couldn\u2019t believe it. I literally pinched myself.\u201dWithout hesitation, Rajat flew to Mumbai. \u201cAryan personally came to receive me at his office. He\u2019s such a sweet boy \u2014 so respectful. You instantly fall in love with him,\u201d he said.Farah Khan, who hosts the YouTube series, added, \u201cYes, he\u2019s such a well-mannered young man. I even asked Aryan why he thought of casting Rajat Bedi. He said, \u2018I have been obsessed with him since childhood. I used to watch his films and remember all his characters!\u2019 I was so happy to see how filmy my boy turned out to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Aryan didn\u2019t just relaunch me; he gave my family a new beginning\u2019<\/p>\n

For Rajat, this wasn\u2019t just a comeback \u2014 it was a rebirth. \u201cAryan didn\u2019t just relaunch me; he gave my entire family a new beginning. My kids, Vera and Vivaan, became overnight sensations. He came into my life like an angel and changed everything.\u201dCalling his second innings destiny, Rajat said, \u201cMaybe it\u2019s the prayers of my parents and family that finally worked. Honestly, I never wanted to leave Bollywood. I just didn\u2019t get the right roles. The Ba**ds of Bollywood* came out of nowhere \u2014 like a miracle.\u201dInterestingly, Rajat\u2019s son is now training under Aryan Khan. \u201cMy son was assisting Aryan during the shoot. It\u2019s surreal because I also started my career alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Ramesh Sippy\u2019s Zamaana Deewana. I worked with him for two and a half years \u2014 and somehow, he\u2019s always been connected to my life in some way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Shah Rukh has always been connected to my life\u2019<\/p>\n

Rajat also recalled a touching memory from his years in Canada. \u201cOnce, we threw a party where Shah Rukh Khan was present. He called me to his private room, and the moment I saw him, I broke down. He was shocked and asked what happened. I told him, \u2018I just couldn\u2019t handle it. It hit me \u2014 what am I doing in Canada?\u2019 Even though I was producing Punjabi films, my heart ached for Bollywood. I used to tell people, \u2018Sir, if there\u2019s anything suitable for me, please let me know. I want to make a comeback.\u2019\u201dNow, back in Mumbai and riding high on praise, Rajat is ready for his second inning. \u201cI\u2019m here, and I\u2019m ready. I just want to act again,\u201d he said with conviction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rajat Bedi has become an overnight sensation after his powerful performance in Aryan Khan\u2019s much-talked-about directorial debut, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[118263,47540,118260,49,48,361,75,40743,118261,118262,88417,8246,8254,47668],"class_list":["post-253947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-aryan","tag-aryan-khan","tag-bollywood-comeback","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-farah-khan","tag-farah-khan-youtube-vlog","tag-rajat","tag-rajat-bedi","tag-shah-rukh-khan","tag-srk","tag-the-bads-of-bollywood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
