"Mera Chhakka Pakistan Mein Gira Hai": Rakesh Bedi’s Witty Response to Sachin Tendulkar Goes Viral

Sachin Tendulkar Praises Rakesh Bedi’s Performance in Dhurandhar 2; Actor Responds with Iconic Cricket Metaphor. Rakesh Bedi Reveals Sachin Tendulkar’s Personal Reaction to His Role as Jameel Jamali in Dhurandhar 2 (watch video below)

While the blockbuster Dhurandhar 2 continues to shatter box office records, a private conversation between two legends—one of the silver screen and one of the cricket pitch—has stolen the spotlight.

Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi, who is receiving career-best reviews for his role as the cunning politician Jameel Jamali, recently revealed a heartwarming and witty exchange he had with the "Master Blaster" himself, Sachin Tendulkar.

The Call from the Legend

In a recent interview with The Lallantop, Bedi shared that among the flood of congratulatory messages he received, one particular phone call left him surprised. Sachin Tendulkar, a self-proclaimed fan of the high-stakes spy thriller, called Bedi to personally praise his performance.

According to Bedi, Sachin was full of admiration, telling him:

"Rakesh ji, maza aa gaya! Kya chhakka maara aapne!" (Rakesh ji, I loved it! What a six you've hit!)

Bedi’s Witty Retort: 

"My Six Landed in Pakistan"

Known for his impeccable comic timing, Bedi couldn't resist a playful comeback to the man who has hit more international boundaries than almost anyone in history.

Bedi recounted his reply to Sachin:

"Haan, tumne bahut chakke maare hain, but tumhare chhakke India mein gire hain. Mera chhakka Pakistan mein gira hai." (Yes, you’ve hit many sixes, but yours landed in India. Mine has landed in Pakistan.)

This video features Rakesh Bedi himself sharing the anecdote of the phone call and discussing the unexpected impact his character has had on audiences.

 

The remark was a clever nod to his character, Jameel Jamali, a Karachi-based politician who—in a major plot twist—is revealed to be a deep-asset Indian operative working to dismantle terror networks from within Pakistan.

The "Jameel Jamali" Fever

Rakesh Bedi’s portrayal of Jamali has become a cultural phenomenon in early 2026. What started as a seemingly comic-relief character in the first Dhurandhar evolved into the "Asli Dhurandhar" (the real mastermind) in the sequel.

The Viral Dialogue: 

His line "Baccha hai tu mera" (You are but a child to me) has become a staple for social media memes.

The Impact: 

Fans have praised Bedi for "hiding in plain sight," using his decades of experience in comedy to mask the character's cold, calculating nature until the final reveal.

The Box Office: 

As of April 5, 2026, Dhurandhar 2 has grossed over ₹1,560 crore worldwide, officially cementing its place as one of the most successful Indian films of all time.

A Mutual Respect

The exchange highlights the deep cross-industry respect between Bollywood and Indian Cricket. For Bedi, receiving validation from Tendulkar was a full-circle moment. "When a legend like Sachin talks in cricket metaphors to praise your acting, you know you've done something right," Bedi added during the interview.

As Dhurandhar 2 nears the ₹1,000 crore mark at the Indian box office, it seems Rakesh Bedi’s "six" is still traveling.
