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 to his role. In the show, he portrays Jaraj Saxena, a former star grappling with finding work in the industry — a character that closely mirrors Bedi’s own real-life experiences of struggling to land roles for years.
“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 has become a favorite with 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 ongoing, and it will come with a bigger bang. It’s set to release sometime next year. It’s going to be very exciting.”
**Resilience Rewarded: Bedi’s IMDb Ranking Soars**
Despite the career setbacks he faced over the years, Bedi remained patient—and now he’s reaping the rewards. Following 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, marking a fresh chapter in his career.
**Character Development: Connecting Through Shared Pain**
Bedi invested his own struggles into bringing the character of Saxena to life, creating a deeply relatable persona. His performance has garnered appreciation from fellow actors like Harshvardhan Rane and Angad Bedi.
“People have connected to that pain and have appreciated it,” he noted.
Interestingly, Bedi agreed to take on 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 the promise of more screen time and an even more compelling narrative in season two, Rajat Bedi’s return to the spotlight seems poised to continue delighting audiences.
