'Praying it happens soon': Rajat Bedi eyes 'Krrish 4'
What's the story
Rajat Bedi, who recently made his Bollywood comeback with the series Ba***ds Of Bollywood, has been rumored to join the cast of Hrithik Roshan's Krrish 4. Addressing these speculations in an exclusive interview with SCREEN, Bedi expressed his desire to reunite with Roshan on screen. "If that happens, nothing like it. The audience wants to see me and Hrithik back together. I am just praying that it happens soon," he said. He had a pivotal role in Koi...Mil Gaya (2003).
Family ties
Bedi on his bond with Hrithik Roshan
Bedi also spoke about his bond with the Roshan family. He said, "I love and respect Rakeshji and Hrithik a lot. Today, Hrithik is an icon; there is nobody like him." "We keep meeting, and our families know each other well... Whenever he meets me, there is a lot of regard, love, and affection." The actor also clarified that his previous comments about Rakesh Roshan were misinterpreted by the media.
Industry hurdles
Financial struggles after blockbuster successes
Bedi also opened up about his financial struggles in the industry. He said, "Financial setbacks have been a big challenge for me because they were consistent." "You would work and not get paid; whatever you were paid also would not be delivered to you because producers would go through challenges." Despite working in blockbusters, he felt he didn't get due recognition or monetary benefits, as someone else would take credit for his work.
Relocation issues
His move to Canada and business challenges
In 2012, Bedi moved to Canada with his family and started a real estate business. However, he was soon duped by a business partner and had to start over. In 2018, he was cheated again by his business partners, which led to a court case. Despite these setbacks, he soldiered on and is now earning acclaim for his role in The Ba***ds Of Bollywood.
