Rajat Bedi

Rajat Bedi is an Indo-Canadian actor, producer, and former model known primarily for his work in Hindi cinema, with roles in Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada films. He is the son of director-producer Narendra Bedi and grandson of Urdu writer-director Rajinder Singh Bedi. Rajat Bedi was born in Mumbai , India, to filmmaker Narendra Bedi and is the grandson of Rajinder Singh Bedi , an important Urdu writer also known for penning the dialogues of classics like Satyakam (1969).

After his father’s death at age 45, when Rajat was 9, the family faced financial hardship. In a 2024 interview, Bedi recalled that only filmmaker Prakash Mehra provided financial support to his mother for several months. Two years later, his grandfather’s death further distanced the family from Bollywood. His mother encouraged him to re-enter the industry at 18 by assisting director Ramesh Sippy . During the filming of Zamaana Deewana (1995), Shah Rukh Khan nicknamed him "Tiger".
