In a recent interview with<\/a> content creator Navin Giri, Nabil Gabol said, “Rakesh Bedi is an actor. He is an artist. I want to tell him that we may look similar.\u00a0Humara dil, humari khoon, humara chehra sabka ek jaisa hain. Main personal nahi hona chahta hoon unke saath\u00a0(Our hearts, our blood, our faces might look similar. I don’t want to get personal with him)!”<\/p>\n“Give my message to Rakesh Bedi, that I respect you as a very senior actor and I love you,” he added.<\/p>\n
For the uninitiated, Rakesh Bedi plays the shrewd Pakistani politician Jameel Jamali in the\u00a0Dhurandhar\u00a0franchise. Since the film’s release, social media has assumed that Rakesh Bedi’s character is inspired by Nabil Gabol.<\/p>\n
With the release of\u00a0Dhurandhar 2\u2014which revealed the real identity of Rakesh Bedi’s character\u2014Nabil Gabol has been trolled by Pakistani media.<\/p>\n
‘They Used Comedian Rakesh Bedi To Play My Role’<\/p>\n
In a recent interaction, Nabil Gabol criticized the way the character was portrayed, especially the twist showing him as an Indian intelligence operative.<\/p>\n
“The truth is that they cannot fight Pakistan or the Pakistani Army, so they created a movie instead. Through this, they have made Lyari internationally famous. The people of Lyari do not care; they are very strong. They used a comedian, Rakesh Bedi, to play my role and portrayed him as Nabil Gabol,” he said.<\/p>\n
Rakesh Bedi later claimed, “No, I didn’t just base it on Nabil Gabol; I made it a general depiction of all Pakistani politicians.” However, in 2007, the MNA (Member of the National Assembly) of Lyari was Nabil Gabol.<\/p>\n
Nabil Gabol Slammed\u00a0Dhurandhar<\/p>\n
When\u00a0Dhurandhar\u00a0released last December, Nabil Gabol expressed dissatisfaction over the film’s narrative and character portrayals.<\/p>\n
“Jo mera role dikhaya gaya hai, mera role bahut dabbang tha, or dabbang iss tareeke se tha ki inhone mere role ko sahi tareeke se nahi dikhaya\u00a0(I was very audacious. But they haven’t shown me the way I was),” he said.<\/p>\n
Speaking of\u00a0Dhurandhar 2, the film has already surpassed the lifetime collections of\u00a0Dhurandhar\u00a0in 11 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pakistani politician Nabil Gabol\u2014on whom Rakesh Bedi’s character Jameel Jamali in Aditya Dhar’s\u00a0Dhurandhar\u00a0franchise is largely based, by popular…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":557910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[247552,175401,247550,247551,88,206,247460,136934],"class_list":{"0":"post-557909","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-aditya-dhar-ki-net-worth","9":"tag-dhurandhar-2","10":"tag-dhurandhar-2-news","11":"tag-dhurandhar-ranveer-singh","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-nabil-gabol","15":"tag-rakesh-bedi"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=557909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/557910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=557909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=557909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
