"Rajat Bedi Reveals SRK and Aryan’s Lakshmi Pooja Before ‘Ba***ds of Bollywood’"
Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, made a remarkable directorial debut with *The Ba***ds of Bollywood*. The show quickly captivated audiences. Rajat Bedi, returning to the spotlight, revealed that prior to starting the shoot, Shah Rukh and Aryan conducted a Lakshmi Pooja at their office.
In a conversation with Radio Nasha, Rajat elaborated that Shah Rukh and Aryan began filming after their Lakshmi Pooja. He noted, “The Pooja brought together close friends, family, and collaborators. I witnessed Shah Rukh and Aryan talking through scenes and felt immense pride watching Aryan’s growth.” He expressed delight in collaborating with his son, who served as an assistant director.
Rajat reminisced about watching the series trailer preview at Mannat, likening the experience to visiting ‘Buckingham Palace.’ He also highlighted how Shah Rukh affectionately referred to him as “Tiger,” a moniker he cherished from the past.
This clever satire of the Hindi film industry tackles themes of power and the struggles of those trying to maintain relevance. The series stars Lakshya and Sahher Bambba alongside talented actors like Anya Singh, Raghav Juyal, Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, and Manoj Pahwa. Directed by Aryan Khan, it is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
In *The Ba***ds of Bollywood*, Rajat portrays Jaraj, a struggling actor whose career faces setbacks due to contractual constraints. He first garnered significant attention for his role as Raj Saxena in *Koi… Mil Gaya* (2003), where he played the antagonist against Hrithik Roshan. Over the years, he has featured in various films, such as *Rakht*, *The Hero: Love Story of a Spy*, and *Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani*. After a 17-year hiatus, he made a triumphant return with Aryan’s series.
