Rajat Bedi’s remarks
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Bedi explained that his family is not used to such attention. “My children have no idea about the media, the showbiz industry, or red carpet appearances. They are completely innocent,” he said.
The actor noted that his wife and children live in Canada, where they are accustomed to a different lifestyle. “They don’t know how to interact with the Indian media. Suddenly, after attending the screening, my daughter became a star, and my son was also projected in the media as one,” he added.
