Meet Rajat Bedi’s Kids: Vera Bedi and Vivaan Bedi

Rajat Bedi, born on October 23, 1970, in Mumbai, grew up immersed in cinema through a family deeply rooted in storytelling and the film industry.

His father, Narendra Bedi, directed classics such as Jawani Diwani (1972), his mother, Veena Bedi, contributed as a costume designer and screenwriter, and his grandfather, Rajinder Singh Bedi, was a celebrated Urdu writer and screenwriter.

His siblings also carry the family torch: Manek Bedi as an actor and producer, and Ila Bedi Dutta as a television writer and co-writer of Agneepath (2012).

Rajat carved his own path, starting as a model and winning the very first Gladrags Manhunt Contest in 1994 alongside future icons Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

His striking height of 6’3” (191 cm) and commanding screen presence made him a natural fit for the big screen, and he soon became one of Bollywood’s most recognizable villains.

He is best remembered for his role as Raj Saxena in Koi… Mil Gaya (2003), where his menacing charm left a lasting impact, but his filmography extends across more than 40 titles, including International Khiladi (1999) and Indian (2001). His sly expressions and magnetic villainy later found a second life in internet culture, spawning memes and nostalgic clips among fans.

Despite his success, Rajat stepped away from Bollywood’s demanding pace in 2008, relocating to Richmond, British Columbia, where he launched Kraftsmen Holdings Ltd., a thriving real estate construction firm. The move marked a new chapter, balancing entrepreneurial success with a quieter family life.

Married to actress Monalisa Bedi since December 27, 1998—herself connected to cinema through her sister, Tulip Joshi—he is a devoted father to two children, Vera, born on February 12, 2007, and Vivaan, born around 2008.

Even while focusing on business, Rajat has not fully left the screen behind. His upcoming role in Aryan Khan’s Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood, a sharp meta-comedy set for release in late 2025, has reignited interest in his career.

At the series’ Mumbai premiere on September 18, 2025, Rajat’s children stole the spotlight on the red carpet, drawing attention to the next generation of the Bedi family and reminding audiences that talent and charisma are woven into their legacy.

Vera Bedi

At 18 years old, Vera Bedi is the epitome of Gen-Z elegance, with a poised demeanour and features that have netizens buzzing.

Dressed in a sleek black pantsuit at the Bads of Bollywood premiere, she arrived alongside her parents and brother, her radiant smile and expressive eyes immediately drawing comparisons to a young Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Social media erupted with comments like “Itne khoobsurat bacche!” (Such beautiful kids!) and “She outshone Suhana Khan and Ananya Panday,” with many pointing out Vera‘s chubby cheeks, pouty lips, and wavy hair as uncanny echoes of Bebo‘s early-2000s charm.

Some even likened her vibe to a mix of Preity Zinta‘s bubbly energy and her own mother’s graceful allure—Monalisa, after all, hails from a family with Gujarati and Lebanese roots, adding an exotic flair to the Bedi genes.

Vera maintains a low-key online presence; her Instagram is private with just over 1,000 followers, but snippets shared by Rajat reveal a life filled with travel, parties, and candid joy.

She runs a personal blog linked to her profile, where she curates lifestyle photos and thoughtful updates, hinting at a creative streak that could one day pull her toward the family business of storytelling.

Though she hasn’t pursued acting yet, her red-carpet debut suggests she’s no stranger to the camera’s gaze. As one fan quipped online, “With parents like Rajat and Monalisa, Vera‘s got Bollywood in her blood—watch out, industry!”

Vivaan Bedi

If Vera is the family’s emerging style icon, Vivaan Bedi brings a cool, understated charisma to the mix.

Now 17, the young Bedi son turned heads at the premiere in a sharp ensemble, his prominent features—a blend of Rajat‘s sharp jawline and Monalisa‘s striking blue eyes—earning him labels like “extremely handsome” from admirers.

While Vera dominated the beauty discourse, Vivaan held his own, exuding the quiet confidence of someone growing up in a multicultural household that spans Mumbai’s chaos and Canada’s calm.

Rajat has occasionally shared glimpses of family adventures on social media, portraying Vivaan as an adventurous teen who enjoys outdoor pursuits and quality time with his sister.

With his father’s entrepreneurial spirit and his mother’s artistic touch, Vivaan seems poised for a path of his own—perhaps in business, like Rajat‘s Canadian ventures, or something entirely new. One thing’s clear: his poise at the event signals he’s ready for whatever spotlight comes his way.
