Rajat Bedi Accuses Mukesh Khanna of Using Him For Views

Rajat Bedi, the actor who has played a baddie in most of the films, has recently accused Mukesh Khanna of misquoting him merely to generate views. 

The actor who made a comeback with B***ds of Bollywood has addressed the old interview of Mukesh Khanna, who said that the actor was overlooked from the 2003 film Koi Mil Gaya promotions by director Rakesh Roshan. 

The film starred Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta in leading roles, and Rajat played the antagonist bully character, Raj Saxena. Now, after a long time, he has accused Mukesh Khanna of misquoting his words. 

Rajat Bedi: ‘My words were taken out of context’

During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Rajat Bedi refuted what Mukesh Khanna had said about his being sidelined by director Rakesh Roshan. According to him he shares a good bond with Koi Mil Gaya director, and has never experienced a biased stance from him. 

The actor further said that Rakesh sir has been the most helpful director he has worked with. He remembers him enacting the scenes the way they should appear on screen. Regarding his Canada migration statement, it was blown out of proportion by Mukesh Khanna.

Recalling the incident during an interview, Rajat mentioned that he once told Khanna about his plans to move to Canada after the film's release. But he never expected that his statement would be misused to generate views. Rajat also stated that when the interview came out, he was with the director Rakesh Roshan.

Referring to the old interview of Mukesh Khanna

Referring to an old 2023 interview with Mukesh Khanna, he said that Rajat Bedi was getting sidelined from the film's promotion. Several scenes of him with co-stars Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta were edited in the final cut. Because of that, he felt sorry for him. Rajat later felt disappointed when knowing all this. 

What was the reason for moving to Canada?

The reason behind why Rajat wanted to leave for Canada was monetary gain as his financial condition crippled followed by failures. He mentioned doing films with Sunny Deol but his cheques got bounced. The actor even asked himself that getting fame is fine, but what about money, why is it not inflowing?
