Sara Arjun Is Like My Daughter: Dhurandhar 2's Rakesh Bedi REACTS To Backlash Over Kiss Video From Trailer Launch | EXCLUSIVE

Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi, who is basking in the success of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has responded to the backlash that followed his viral moment with co-star Sara Arjun at the trailer launch of Part 1. For those unversed, he was accused of allegedly making her uncomfortable by kissing her on the shoulder. In an exclusive chat, Bedi clarified that the gesture was completely innocent and came from the warm bond they built while working together on the Ranveer Singh-led film. Stressing that Sara is like a daughter to him, the actor said some people are always looking for negativity and tend to judge moments without knowing the full context. Sara Arjun Is Like My Daughter: Rakesh BediRakesh told Zoom, "Woh sabhi karte hain. Matlab hum jab greet

karte hain to aise hi karte. Aur aisa nahi ki main usko pehli baar mil raha hoon. Maine to uske 25 din kaam kiya uske saath. Woh jitni baar aayi hai, usne mujhe woh mujhe aise hi mili hai. Baap beti ka rishta hai (onscreen). Aur humne jitna bhi kaam kiya hai woh subah-subah aati hai, 'Hi sir, how are you?' Aake mujhe gale hi milti hai aur main aise hi usko milta raha hoon. To maine koi naya nahi kiya woh. Lekin un logon ko laga..."(Loose translation: Everyone does that. I mean, when we greet each other, we do it like that. And it is not as if I was meeting her for the first time. I had worked with her for 25 days. Every time she came, she met me in the same way. It is a father-daughter relationship on screen. And throughout all the work we did, she would come in the morning and say, 'Hi sir, how are you?' She would come and hug me, and I would meet her in the same way. So I did nothing new. But people felt otherwise.)He added, "Arre bhai, woh ladki aapke liye hogi. Mere liye meri beti hai woh (She may be just a girl to you. For me, she is like my daughter)."

He said that some people attend every event only to find something negative. Bedi added that he could not be that careful all the time and did not have the courage to live that way. He stated that he would remain who he is, as he knows what is in his heart and carries no dishonesty. The veteran actor further said that he never tries to put anyone down or mistreat anyone. He stated that people can either accept him as he is or leave him.
