Actor Rajat Bedi, who recently made a notable comeback after a long hiatus with the Netflix series *Bads. of Bollywood*, is overwhelmed by the positive response the show has received. In the series, Bedi plays Jaraj Saxena, a former star struggling to find work in the industry—a character that closely mirrors his own experiences of facing extended periods without roles.
“I’m very grateful to the Khan family for considering me and getting me into the show,” Bedi shared with PTI.
**A Character Close to Home**
Bedi revealed that his character, Jaraj Saxena, is a favorite among the Khan family, including Suhana Khan, Gauri Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan. “I know they want to see more of me. And you will get to see more of Jaraj Saxena in season two,” he confirmed. “The writing is going on, which will come with a bigger bang. It will happen sometime next year. It will be very exciting.”
**Resilience Pays Off**
Despite the setbacks in his career, Bedi has remained patient and is now reaping the rewards. Since the premiere of *Bads. of Bollywood* on Netflix, his IMDb ranking surged to ninth place on the list of most popular Indian stars.
“Life is looking beautiful. I’m excited that at least people will look at me optimistically, thinking I’ve done good work,” he said. Two years ago, Bedi moved back to Mumbai from Canada with his family to focus on his career.
**Connecting Through Pain**
Bedi poured his own struggles and pain into developing Saxena’s character, which has resonated deeply with audiences. He has also received praise from fellow actors like Harshvardhan Rane and Angad Bedi. “People have connected to that pain and have appreciated it,” he remarked.
The actor also shared that he agreed to take up the show on one condition—his son Vivaan would be allowed to work as an assistant director. “The beauty was that Aryan had so much faith in me,” he added.
With more of Rajat Bedi’s character set to appear in the upcoming season, fans can look forward to an even more compelling storyline in *Bads. of Bollywood* season two next year.
