Actor Rajat Bedi has credited the hardships that he has faced for making him a better actor.

Rajat is currently basking in the success of โThe Ba***ds of Bollywoodโ, which marked the directorial debut of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s elder son, Aryan Khan.

The actor shared details about not getting any acting jobs, and even losing out on some roles, including one in Salman Khan-starrer โRadheโ.

โI got a call from Salman’s office when โRadhe’ was being made. The team wanted me to play a particular character. When Salman saw me on the set, they were shooting for a song. He asked me what I was doing here. I told him that his office called me because there is a role in โRadhe’. He said, โYou are not going to do it. I will give you something better’. And I was very touched. Thank God he did not allow me to do something smaller or that does not suit my personality,โ Bedi said in an interview.

And the journey started again. So, in disguise I would say, I had to go through the hardships which I had to face. And it has made me a better actor.โ

โI have faced a lot of hardships in my journey. The real-life situations that I have gone through have somehow made me a better performer and actor. That pain I have expressed through my work in the show,โ he added.
