Rakesh Bedi About Allegedly Kissing Sara Arjun
During a chat with Hindustan Times, Rakesh Bedi opened up about the backlash and called it stupid. He said, “Sara is less than half my age and plays my daughter. Whenever we met during the shoot, she would greet me with a hug, just as a daughter would with her father. We share a nice rapport and camaraderie, which is also reflected on screen.” Bedi said that the same thing happened on the day of the trailer launch, when she met him with the same affection.

He said that the people who are making such accusations are seeing it through a wrong lens, and questioned why he would kiss Arjun publicly with ill intent. Rakes Bedi also mentioned that the actress’s parents were also present at the event. He ultimately called the people who were accusing him of such things ‘stupid.’
Rakesh Bedi portrayed the clever politician ‘Jameel Jamali’ in Aditya Dhar’s film Dhurandhar, set in Pakistan’s Lyari. Sara Arjun played his daughter, and she fell in love with Ranveer Singh. Rakesh Bedi received praise for his easy performances in the spy thriller. While Bedi did not identify the name, Reddit conversations have focused on Pakistani politicians like Nabeel Gabol.
