Rajat Bedi, who is currently enjoying the spotlight following the success of Aryan Khan’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood, recently shared that his sister, Ila Bedi Dutta, had recommended him for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War. Ila, who co-wrote the film starring Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal, had urged Bhansali to cast Rajat in the project, but the collaboration ultimately didn’t materialise.
Bedi said in a conversation with News18 Showsha, "My sister is a very, very talented writer. She recommends my name to filmmakers. I've an elder brother (Manik Bedi; actor and producer) too. I'm the youngest in the family. She's always looking out for both of us. She went and told Sanjay sir, 'Take my brother, na. Please see if any role suits him.' Whenever she writes for a film, she scouts for roles for me."
Rajat Bedi even spoke about struggles he faced to secure work in the indusry. He said, "Everyone told me that they've seen my work and would consider me for their next project, but to be honest, that never happened. I've been trying to make a comeback for the last 10-15 years, but it didn't come through. Please pray for me that I get some good, big-ticket work so I can show you what I'm all about. I've got so much more to share with the audience. My family and I are very fortunate and grateful that people have appreciated my work."
