Rajat Bedi gives a tour of his 100-acre Khopoli Farmhouse, says, 'Whenever we come here, we land by chopper'

Rajat Bedi, known for his roles in films like ‘Koi Mil Gaya’, has recently returned to the spotlight with Aryan Khan’s series ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’. Amid renewed interest in his life and career, Bedi recently offered a glimpse into his private world. He showed his sprawling 100-acre farmhouse in Khopoli, near Mumbai, revealing a space that reflects both luxury and personal passion.

A grand entry and lush green surroundings

According to Pinkvilla, Rajat does not arrive at the estate by road. He prefers the sky. “Whenever we come here, we usually land by chopper,” he said while stepping onto the vast property. The farmhouse is surrounded by dense greenery and carefully cultivated plantations. He pointed out rows of fruit trees and explained that the farm produces multiple varieties across seasons. “We have a lot of berry fruits here, mangoes too, but these are dates. When they ripen, all of them grow beautifully, well-planted.”

Among the more unusual residents are ostriches brought from Chennai. Rajat spoke about them with amusement. “Look, we have five or six ostriches here, which we specifically brought from Chennai.” He added with a smile, “You can actually write on their backs. They can get a little aggressive, but people can also ride them.” The farm also includes tennis and basketball courts, reflecting his love for sports.

Horses, birds and a whimsical tree house

The property houses several animals, especially horses and ponies. Rajat proudly showcased sculpted horse figures as well as real stallions. “A designer has been instrumental in designing a lot of things in the farm, especially the house and the entire reception area to welcome people . These are ponies, small baby horses, and these are beautiful stallions. We even have a chariot where you can tie the horses and take a tour of the farm.” The estate also shelters birds and rabbits, giving it the feel of a private sanctuary.

For children, he built a charming tree house tucked among the branches. “We have made this tree house for the kids. If you actually want to live amidst the trees, this is why we built it with a lot of love,” he said, revealing a softer side of the grand estate.

Career highs, and mental health

In an interview with Mid-day, Despite past success, Rajat admitted the journey was painful. “I have been a part of a lot of hit films, but I never got my due. Others would take the credit, celebrate the success, and I would just be like, ‘Okay,’ and move on to the next project. Somewhere, that was very disheartening. Financially, I wasn’t seeing a future because I wasn’t getting paid what I deserved” he shared.

The pressure affected his mental health deeply. “At one point, I was completely done. I was having nervous breakdowns. I was on tablets, taking sleeping pills at night. I couldn’t sleep because I was constantly thinking about how the house would run, what to do next. I couldn’t see the future ahead. Everything depended on the film’s release. Even my wife couldn’t handle it at some point and suggested that we must get out of here.” Rajat Bedi last gained praise for his performance on ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ as the character, Jaraj Saxena.
