Actor Rajat Bedi, who recently made a 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, he plays Jaraj Saxena, a former star struggling to find work within the industry—a character that closely mirrors Bedi’s own experiences of facing years without roles.
“I’m very grateful to the Khan family for considering me and getting me into the show,” Bedi told PTI.
**Character Insight: ‘Jaraj Saxena Is a Favorite Among the Khans’**
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 shared.
“The writing is going on, and it will come with a bigger bang. It will happen sometime next year. It will be very exciting.”
**Resilience Rewarded: Bedi’s IMDb Ranking Shoots Up After *Bads of Bollywood* Premiere**
Despite career setbacks, Bedi has stayed patient and is now reaping the rewards. Following the premiere of *Bads of Bollywood* on Netflix, his IMDb ranking soared 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 expressed.
Two years ago, Bedi moved back to Mumbai from Canada with his family, reigniting his career in the Indian entertainment industry.
**Character Development: ‘People Have Connected to That Pain’**
Bedi poured his own pain and experiences into fleshing out Saxena’s character. His portrayal has resonated with audiences, earning him calls of appreciation from fellow actors like Harshvardhan Rane and Angad Bedi.
“People have connected to that pain, and have appreciated it,” he said.
Additionally, Bedi revealed that he agreed to take part in the show on one condition—that his son Vivaan would work as an assistant director. “The beauty was that Aryan had so much faith in me,” he added.
With season two in the pipeline, fans can look forward to seeing more of Rajat Bedi’s compelling performance as Jaraj Saxena.
