Rajat Bedi Likens Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat to Buckingham Palace in Bollywood Comeback

In October 2025, veteran actor Rajat Bedi has made a triumphant return to the Bollywood spotlight with his role in Aryan Khan's directorial debut, 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood'. Bedi's character in the film was loosely inspired by his own life and also carried subtle nods to his earlier movies, earning him widespread acclaim.

Rajat Bedi recently had the opportunity to visit Shah Rukh Khan's iconic residence, 'Mannat', and was left awestruck by its grandeur. He compared the experience to entering Buckingham Palace, noting the tight security measures in place, where visitors' belongings are thoroughly screened, much like at an airport.

During his visit, Bedi was invited to watch the extended trailer of 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood' in Mannat's impressive 100-seat home theatre, which he described as a "proper cinema hall". The screening was attended by other close friends and associates of the Khan family, including Karan Johar and Shweta Nanda.

Prior to the trailer viewing, Shah Rukh Khan himself addressed the gathering and spoke warmly about his long-standing association with Rajat Bedi, affectionately referring to him as "Tiger". Bedi was deeply moved by SRK's kind words, which he found to be a touching gesture.
