Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi has addressed the online debate sparked by a brief interaction with co-star Sara Arjun during the trailer launch of Dhurandhar.
A short clip of the event went viral on social media, with some users questioning the gesture, while others defended the actor. Speaking out, Bedi described the reactions as “out of context” and based on misunderstanding.
He explained that his interaction mirrored how he treats Arjun on set. “Every time she came for shooting, I would hug her and kiss her on the forehead, like a father encouraging his daughter. The trailer launch greeting was no different,” Bedi said. He emphasized that the gesture was entirely innocent and witnessed by Arjun’s parents.
The 71-year-old also acknowledged the mix of criticism and support online. “Some people defended me thankfully, but others just look for reasons to comment,” he added.
