Many become fans of Bollywood heroes, but liking a villain is a whole new level of filmy love. And guess what? Aryan Khan has always been one of those fans.
Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan is creating his own path in the industry. Yes, his surname brings attention, but what’s really turning heads is his bold storytelling. His debut Netflix series The Ba***ds of Bollywood has already created buzz for its sharp and fearless take on the film world. But another interesting detail has caught everyone’s attention. It’s about Aryan’s admiration for actor Rajat Bedi.
SRK’s Son Aryan Khan Is Smitten By Bollywood Villain Rajay Bedi
Rajat Bedi is a familiar face for 2000s Bollywood lovers, especially for his villain roles in films like Jaani Dushman. In Aryan’s show, he plays Jaraj Saxena, an actor whose career gets stuck because of a long film contract. The role mirrors Rajat’s real journey and brings a raw, emotional flavour to the story. Viewers have praised how real and heartfelt his performance feels.
Recently, Farah Khan visited Rajat’s home for her cooking vlog. While cooking and chatting, they revealed how Rajat got cast in Aryan’s show.
Rajat shared that he received a call saying Aryan Khan wanted to meet him. He didn’t think twice, packed his bag and flew to Mumbai. He said Aryan welcomed him with so much warmth and respect that “anyone would fall in love with him”.
Then came Farah’s sweet reveal as she said, “He’s such a well-mannered kid. I asked Aryan, ‘Tere mind main kaise aaya to take Rajat?’ He said, ‘I have been obsessed with Rajat Bedi since childhood. I used to watch his movies and his character in Jaani Dushman.’ Aryan does that ‘sabki izzat karenge toh lootenge kiski’. He knows everything. He’s so talented and forget talented, mujhe itni khushi hui ki mera ladka filmy nikla.”
Rajat also shared that Aryan did something special. He not only cast him, but he also agreed to let Rajat’s son work on the show as an assistant director. It became a proud family moment, making this comeback extra emotional for him. Rajat called Aryan a blessing in his life.
