He admitted to being offered a TV show produced by Balaji during this time. Rajat said, "I don't remember the show title but yes, a show was offered in which I had a leading character. Mera dil nahin maan raha tha ke main television karun [My heart wasn't feeling that I should do television]. Television gives you a lot of exposure. But sometimes it's short-lived. If the show doesn't work, then what will you do? Then you've lost out on films too."ALSO READ: Rajat Bedi Calls Bollywood 'Unforgiving Industry' As 'No One Looked Back' After Producer Father's DemiseAt that time, he recalled that film producers weren't keen to back TV actors.
