"Divorce is not the end. Make it a new beginning. - Rakesh Bedi"

Mumbai, April 24

Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi has expressed his thoughts on divorce, and has urged the society to change its perspective.

He asked people to not treat it as an end, but infact as a new beginning.

Taking to his social media account, the actor posted a video where he expressed his views on how women who seek divorce should be supported by family and society rather than judged and trolled.

Rakesh said that any and every girl who returns to her parental home after separating from her husband deserves acceptance, dignity, and a lot of motivation to rebuild her life.

Sharing the video, he wrote, "Divorce is not the end. Make it a new beginning."

In the video, Rakesh Bedi said, "I feel that if a daughter returns home after a divorce, she should be given another chance at life by her family. Instead of making divorce a taboo in society, we should support her so that she can stand on her own feet and become independent."

Further in the video, the actor cited a powerful real-life example to reinforce his message on divorce.

The actor spoke about a father who welcomed his daughter back home after her divorce with 'dhol and band', celebrating her return with pomp, pride and love instead of shame and embarassment.

Talking about Rakesh Bedi, the actor is currently the talk of the town for his phenomenal performance in his recent releases Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, where his work has been highly lauded.

Rakesh has been a part of the entertainment industry for over four decades.

From classics like 'Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi' to 'Shrimaan Shrimati', and movies like Gharwali Baharwali, Chashme Badoor, Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Phir Hera Pheri, and many others.

This is such a refreshing take. In the West, we often take independence for granted, but I understand how tough it must be for women in more traditional settings. The 'dhol and band' story is beautiful—what a way to show unconditional support.

Great message but let's be honest—Indian society won't change overnight. Even the so-called progressive families still whisper behind closed doors. Still, Rakesh Bedi is right to start this conversation. At least our generation is discussing it openly.

As someone who works with NGOs supporting divorced women in India, this makes me so happy. The stigma is real and many women lose their confidence. Families should celebrate courage, not shame it. Rakesh ji's example of the dad with dhol is pure gold. 💛

My own mother was judged for 10 years after her divorce. This hits home. Thank you Rakesh sir for using your platform to say what needs to be said. But we also need to talk about the financial independence part—societies need to support skill training and jobs for these women, not just emotional support.

Respect to Rakesh Bedi for saying this. I've seen too many Indian women suffer in silence because of 'log kya kahenge'. Divorce shouldn't be a life sentence. The father celebrating with dhol—that's the kind of parent everyone deserves. 🙌
