Rajat Bedi known for his portrayals in Koi Mil Gaya, Partner and Jaani Dushman among others, made a roaring comeback with Aryan Khan and Netflix’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood with his character Jaraj getting appreciation and love all around the corner.
In a recent conversation, the actor opened up about a scene in Hrithik Roshan starrer Koi Mil Gaya, which still hurts him. “I wasn’t a mature actor earlier, even when I was doing Koi Mil Gaya. There was a scene in the film that Rakesh ji wanted me to do. It was my scene. And when I say that, I mean that it was a scene between me and Duggu where my lines could eat him up," said Bedi while talking to News18.
“I did a few takes during which Rakesh ji told me about the changes I should incorporate so that I could try new ways of delivering my lines. Eventually, he okayed the shot. But that episode hits me badly even today. It hurt me a lot. Later, he sat me down and told me, ‘Rajat, tujhe pata hai woh scene tera tha? You had to eat Duggu up in that scene! But you didn’t do that.’ I was heartbroken that day. I didn’t have the maturity to understand those things," he added.
“My journey has helped me a lot. When you see me doing an emotional or painful scene, my dilemmas and everything that I’ve been through is reflected in it. That’s also the reason why I can emote much better today. I’m more mature as an actor now," shared the actor.
The actor also praised his Netflix’s show costar Raghav Juyal and compared him with legendary Govinda. “I learnt a lot from Raghav. Today, when I get a scene, I know that I’ve to give it my best shot. I know that I’ll have to steal the show," adding, “When I worked with him, he reminded me of Govinda. I’ve worked with Chichi. He could eat any actor up. An actor may have ten lines and he only two but the way in which he delivers them will make him steal the entire show. Raghav is the same. He’s a hara*mi actor! I told him that he’s too good. He does his job with a lot of passion and mazza."
