On the occasion of Shah Rukh Khan`s 60th birthday, Rajat Bedi exclusively opened up about one of the most nerve-wracking yet unforgettable moments of his career, performing a live skit with Shah Rukh Khan at Aryan Khan’s Ba***ds of Bollywood premiere. He recalled that he had never performed on stage before a live audience, let alone with nearly 100 members of the press watching. “It was terrifying. I’ve never done stage performances, and suddenly I was told I had to act alongside Shah Rukh Khan — without any proper rehearsal,” he shared.

Rajat Bedi recalls he was extremely nervous

According to Rajat, the actors were handed their scripts on the same day. “I asked how much time we had to prepare, and they said, ‘Nothing. The act begins in an hour. Get ready.’ Bobby, sir, even said he wouldn’t perform a skit and would just say a few words about Aryan.” Rajat rushed to his makeup room, panicking over the lack of rehearsal and the pressure of performing with SRK. “There was no run-through, no cues planned. They just told me, ‘This is your entry. When Shah Rukh looks at you, go on stage, and start.’”
