Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Bads of Bollywood, is gearing up for its highly anticipated second season. The news was confirmed by actor Rajat Bedi, who plays Jaraj Saxena in the Netflix hit. In a recent interview with News18, Bedi revealed, “Yes, season two is happening. It’s in the works. I’m hopeful that audiences are going to see more of me in the second season.”
The first season of the show premiered on Netflix on September 18 and quickly became a talking point, both for Aryan Khan’s stylish direction and its bold storyline. The buzz around the series has not only elevated the profile of its ensemble cast but also reshaped Rajat's career.
Reflecting on the overwhelming response, Rajat admitted that the show’s success has spilled into his personal life. “It’s unbelievable! Not just me, but my whole family, my son, my daughter, my wife, too. It feels like God gave us everything together, all at once,” he said.
Rajat also described how the series became a turning point. “Suddenly, my life has taken a U-turn. I’m getting so much love from all around the world. It feels like the rains are finally over and the sun is out shining bright. The Bads Of Bollywood is the reason why other things didn’t work out for me. God had a plan for me,” he reflected.
The impact of his performance has been tangible. His role as Jaraj Saxena propelled him from 954th place to ninth on IMDb India’s popularity charts. That meteoric rise highlights just how much audiences have embraced his character.
The show also features a star-studded lineup including Lakshya Lalwani, Sahher Bambba, Raghav Juyal, Gautami Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, and Anya Singh, along with high-profile cameos from Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Karan Johar.
With the second season now in development, expectations are running high. If Aryan Khan’s debut season was any indication, audiences can expect more drama, layered characters, and unexpected twists when the story returns.
