Rajat Bedi, known for his role in Aryan Khan's debut web series "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," is currently navigating the whirlwind of attention surrounding his 18-year-old daughter, Vera Bedi. Vera recently accompanied her father to the premiere of the series, and her appearance has since gone viral, with many netizens drawing comparisons between her and Bollywood icons like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
In response to the buzz, Rajat Bedi has humbly requested that fans and media refrain from comparing his daughter to these established actresses. During an interview with Filmygyan, Bedi was asked to react to a netizen's comment stating, "Vera Bedi is 18 years old, and she can eat 10 Kareena Kapoor and 20 Aishwarya for Dinner". Visibly uncomfortable, Rajat responded with folded hands, "Nahi, nahi please, please, please (folding hands). My daughter is a very innocent girl. Meri haath jod ke binti hai, aisa statements please mat banayie ki she can eat a Kareena Kapoor or an Aishwarya Rai. We are very blessed ki aap log ka pyaar mil raha hai". He expressed his gratitude for the love and attention Vera has received but emphasized her innocence and requested that she not be pitted against industry veterans.
Bedi further added, "Comparing her to a Kareena ya Aishwarya, please they are very big personalities in our industry. Meri bachhi hai chhoti si. Please give her the love and respect". He highlighted that Vera is currently focused on her studies, attending college and still trying to understand the sudden fame. "Right now woh padh rahi hai, 18 saal ki hai, college mein, college jaati hai. Usse bhi nahi samajh aa rahi yeh kya ho raha hai. Papa ke saath mein ek red carpet pe gayi aur media ne pakad ke utha liya hai," he explained.
Vera Bedi was born on February 12, 2007. Rajat Bedi married Monalisa, who is of Indian-Armenian descent, on December 27, 1998. They also have a son named Vivaan, born in July 2002.

Many social media users have noted Vera's striking resemblance to a young Kareena Kapoor, pointing out similarities in her facial features, expressions, and overall aura. Some have also drawn comparisons to Karisma Kapoor. Vera's Instagram account is private, but she has garnered a growing following, including her father and "The Ba***ds of Bollywood" actor Raghav Juyal.
Rajat Bedi made his acting debut in 1998 with "2001: Do Hazaar Ek". He gained recognition for his role as an antagonist in the 2003 film "Koi... Mil Gaya". He has worked in numerous films and television shows. Rajat's father was filmmaker Narendra Bedi, and his grandfather was Urdu writer-director Rajinder Singh Bedi. The actor has spoken about facing challenges in the film industry and how his family experienced financial difficulties early in his life.
While Vera has maintained a relatively private life, her recent appearance has sparked speculation about a potential entry into Bollywood. Rajat Bedi has acknowledged the speculation, stating that Vera is considering joining the industry. Some reports suggest she had a cameo role alongside her brother in their father’s film "Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana".
