Everyone has been hit hard by the news of Asha Bhosle’s passing. The legendary singer dedicated almost eight decades of her life to music, blessing the Indian music industry with tunes and vocals like no other. No one knows how to react to such a tragedy, and Rajat Bedi seems to have found himself in another controversy.

A clip of his has been going viral and it either paints him in a really bad way or simply in a very human way.

Rajat Bedi’s Reaction to Asha Bhosle’s Death

In a clip now going viral, Rajat Bedi was seen being approached by the paparazzi as they asked him about Asha Bhosle’s death. He seemed speechless, trying to frame the right sentence to say that he could muster up at that very moment.

His reaction is very unusual, with many fans thinking that it is staged instead of something natural. It looks as though he was caught off guard by the paparazzi and wasn’t prepared with something to say.

At first, he didn’t believe it, then the paps reconfirmed that she had passed away, and he responded with how disheartening the news was, followed by simple condolences towards the family and the loss of the Indian music industry. However, fans are divided by his reaction.

Was Rajat Bedi’s Reaction Fake?

Many people who saw the video thought that it was staged because of how things played out. They argued that his reaction looked fake and something that should have come with a lot more empathy because both their industries coincided, and she was a legend when she was alive and even more so now that she is gone.

Not a bad response at all. Genuine reaction, he was taken aback, lost for words. Believe me, a lot of celebs would have given loose responses.

Speech nahi byte hai bhaiyya. Ab kuch toh bolega bechara. ANI waalo ne ekdum se dhappa bol diya toh stunned reh gaya.

On the other hand, people are also defending Rajat Bedi for his reaction. They believe that it was genuine, and it looked more as though he was caught off guard by the paparazzi that approached him. His speechlessness wasn’t something out of the ordinary because the loss felt deeply personal to many in the industry.
