"I'm a very proud Bedi," says actor Angad Bedi -- son of former Indian cricket captain Bishan Singh Bedi -- who says having a certain surname alone can't take a person anywhere. It takes talent, hard work and luck in equal measure if one is to climb the ladder. Nepotism was a popular word in Bollywood last year, what with the debate that actress Kangana Ranaut sparked by calling filmmaker Karan Johar a "flagbearer of nepotism". Asked if his surname has helped him, Angad, whose latest release is "Tiger Zinda Hai", told IANS: "Not at all. A surname can never take you anywhere. It's your talent and potential that take you places. But, yes, I am a very proud Bedi and I am very proud to be born to Bishan Singh Bedi, who has done our country proud for 20 years. "Just to be his son is an achievement in its own way, but I wanted my father to be proud of his son, and he was when he saw 'Pink'. He is liking the choice of work I am doing. Let's see where I go from here." Angad worked on the small screen as host of "Extraaa Innings T20" in 2010, and hosted "Cook Na Kaho" as well as participated in "Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi (Season 3)".
