Rajat Bedi, who made a remarkable comeback with Aryan Khan’s hit series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, is once again in the limelight—this time because of his daughter, Vera Bedi. The actor attended the show’s
screening with his family, and Vera’s stunning appearance immediately caught everyone’s attention, with social media users drawing comparisons between her and Bollywood icons Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai.
Rajat Bedi Reacts to Vera Bedi’s Viral Comparisons
In a recent conversation with Instant Bollywood, Rajat opened up about how his daughter is handling the sudden attention. “She was very overwhelmed and scared as well,” he said. “One day she was unable to focus on her work and said, ‘Papa, people are making AI images of me, galat galat images bana rahe hain. Some are making posts comparing me to Aishwarya and Kareena and talking rubbish like I’ll eat up 10 Aishwaryas or 10 Kareenas.’”
The actor revealed that while Vera is happy about the appreciation, the unwanted AI content has made her uneasy. He appealed to fans and followers not to create or circulate AI-generated photos of his children. “She is happy too, but somewhere she is not liking the way it’s coming out. People are making inappropriate AI images of her, and there are too many fan pages about her and my son as well,” Rajat added.
