Actor Rajat Bedi, who recently received massive acclaim for his role as Jaraj Saxena in The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, has addressed the online frenzy surrounding his daughter, 18-year-old Vera Bedi. The young star kid became a viral sensation after appearing with her father at the premiere of the hit series, with many social media users comparing her beauty to Bollywood icons Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Rajat’s Humble Response to Viral Comparisons
During an interview with Filmygyan, Rajat was asked to react to a viral comment that read:
“Vera Bedi is 18 years old, and she can eat 10 Kareena Kapoor and 20 Aishwarya for dinner 🔥🙈.”
Visibly taken aback, the actor responded with folded hands, saying,
“Nahi, nahi please, please, please (folding hands). My daughter is a very innocent girl. Meri haath jod ke binti hai, aisa statements please mat banayie ki she can eat a Kareena Kapoor or an Aishwarya Rai. We are very blessed ki aap log ka pyaar mil raha hai.”
He further added,
“Comparing her to a Kareena ya Aishwarya, please, they are very big personalities in our industry. Meri bachhi hai chhoti si. Please give her the love and respect. Right now woh padh rahi hai, 18 saal ki hai, college mein, college jaati hai. Usse bhi nahi samajh aa rahi yeh kya ho raha hai. Papa ke saath ek red carpet pe gayi aur media ne pakad ke utha liya hai.”
Vera Bedi’s Sudden Rise to Fame
Vera’s appearance at the red carpet premiere of The Ba**ds of Bollywood* instantly caught the media’s attention. Photos and videos of the father-daughter duo went viral across social platforms, with fans praising Vera’s poise and charm. While the online buzz has thrust her into the spotlight, Rajat emphasized that she’s still focused on her studies and far from the glamour world — at least for now.
About The Ba**ds of Bollywood*
The series, which marked Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, has become one of the biggest OTT successes of the year. Rajat Bedi’s portrayal of Jaraj Saxena — an actor wronged and forgotten by the industry for 15 years — resonated deeply with viewers and earned him widespread critical acclaim.
While the internet continues to celebrate Vera Bedi’s looks and potential, her father’s grounded response serves as a reminder that behind the glitz and viral moments, there’s still a protective dad hoping to keep his daughter’s innocence intact.
