From acting in 40-50 films, delivering some iconic performances, to witnessing the lowest of the low phase in life. Rajat Bedi made his comeback with Ba***ds of Bollywood as Jaraj Saxena. The actor exclusively detailed his rough phase and shared everything he went through when he decided to leave the country and the industry in 2007. Rajat`s phase gives an insight into an actor`s life whose fate is decided on every Friday with the movie release. If the film turns out to be a hit, the journey would have a smooth ride, but if it flops, the hurdles would keep getting bigger.
Rajat Bedi had decided to leave the Industry after hitting rock bottom; however, it wasn`t that easy to start afresh for him, "I was going through a very challenging time. I mean, every actor has his own journey and acting is a very, I think, one of the most difficult professions because you see the high, then suddenly you see a very solid dip. It`s not that your track only goes up like that. And all big stars have also gone through it. Every big star, even if they are running in the number one position, they are worried about what will happen to their next film. So, my journey has been different. I was very immature, I would say. I didn`t know what was right, what was wrong. And some people would manipulate me into doing certain jobs and things for their selfish interest, which I could not make out or whatever it was. But you would work with your heart for every product, everything you are working for, but I would not get my due."
