Rakesh Bedi has been receiving praise for his role in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The film continues to break records and a 12-year-old video of Rakesh calling himself Dhurandhar on TV has resurfaced, with fans joking that he may have predicted his role in the film. On Saturday, an Instagram user shared a throwback video featuring Rakesh Bedi from the popular television series Qubool Hai.
The show, which starred Karan Singh Grover and Surbhi Jyoti in the lead roles, showcased Rakesh in a recurring role as an official determined to deport Surbhi’s character, Zoya Faruqui. His appearances were limited to a few episodes, primarily during the storyline involving Zoya and Asad’s fake engagement, but they left a memorable impression on fans who enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot.
In the now-viral clip, Rakesh Bedi warns Zoya, "Neither tears, money, political pressure, nor your drama affects Dhurandhar Watavdekar." The video caption playfully noted, "He called himself a Dhurandhar back then, but no one believed him."
The clip triggered hilarious fan reactions, with comments joking that Rakesh “manifested the peak,” called Qubool Hai a prequel to Dhurandhar and dubbed him the “real Dhurandhar all along,” praising the uncanny foreshadowing.
About Dhurandhar: Dhurandhar: The Revenge is directed by Aditya Dhar and stars Ranveer Singh in the lead. The spy action thriller delves into the backstory of his character, tracing his journey from training to becoming a spy, before following his mission to rise in power while dismantling the underworld and terror networks from within.
