Rajat Bedi recalls sister pitching him to Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Actor Rajat Bedi recently revealed how his sister, Ila Bedi Dutta, recommended him for a role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film Love & War, starring Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. However, the casting did not materialize.

Speaking to News18 Showsha, Bedi said, “My sister is a very, very talented writer. She recommends my name to filmmakers. I have an elder brother, Manik Bedi, who is also in the industry. I’m the youngest in the family. She’s always looking out for both of us. She went and told Sanjay sir, ‘Take my brother, na. Please see if any role suits him.’ Whenever she writes for a film, she scouts for roles for me.”

Bedi also spoke about the challenges he has faced in securing work, revealing that he even made “cold calls” to directors. “Everyone told me that they’ve seen my work and would consider me for their next project, but to be honest, that never happened,” he said. “I’ve been trying to make a comeback for the last 10–15 years, but it didn’t come through.”

He appealed to his fans for support, adding, “Please pray for me that I get some good, big-ticket work so I can show you what I’m all about. I’ve got so much more to share with the audience. My family and I are very fortunate and grateful that people have appreciated my work.”

Bedi is currently in the spotlight following the success of Aryan Khan’s The Ba**ds of Bollywood.
