Rados Bajic Reveals Grandson's Name: Milos

Rados Bajic has shown his grandson to the public for the first time. The actor and director posted a photo on his Instagram account on August 13 with his eight-month-old grandson, and in the same post revealed that the boy carries his father’s name.

The boy is named Milos Bajic. He was born in Apatin eight months ago and was named after his great-grandfather, Rados Bajic’s father, who died four years ago at 93. That day, Bajic wrote, was the first time the boy had been brought to the village his family comes from.

He opened the post by remembering his father.

Four years ago, at the age of 93, my dear father Milos Bajic passed away and went to a heavenly place. By the will of the Almighty, eight months ago, in the north of Backa, in Apatin, the world welcomed a wonderful, beautiful little boy who brought great joy to our whole big family.

The second part of the post described the meeting in the village itself. Bajic did not reveal his grandson’s name right away, saving it for the end, as a question to his followers.

Today he came with his mom and dad for the first time to the village of his ancestors, he was in my arms, sat on my knee… And we had the sweetest talk… Guess what his name is? You guessed it, Milos Bajic. Many happy years…

Bajic did not name the village, nor did he give the boy’s date of birth. The photo was posted on the profile the actor runs himself, where he rarely shares family pictures.

Who Was Milos Bajic Sr.?

Rados Bajic’s father, and great-grandfather of the eight-month-old boy, lived to be 93. The actor names him in full in the post, calling him “my dear father,” and ties his death to the birth of his great-grandson in the same paragraph.

The name has stayed in the family across four generations. Bajic underlined that by turning it into a question for his followers instead of simply stating it in his first sentence.

Rados Bajic’s Family

The actor has been married to his wife Milena for years. They have two children, a daughter, Jelena Bajic Jocic, and a son, Nedeljko, and both have made them grandparents. Bajic does not name the parents of the eight-month-old Milos in the post, only mentioning that the boy came to the village “with his mom and dad.”

His daughter rarely appears in public. Bajic spoke about her once before, when he explained why his children moved back to Serbia after finishing their studies.

She graduated from the prestigious London Institute for the Arts, but my children came back to our Serbia, and luckily, today we work together. Naturally, as a father, my heart, and my wife’s heart, were full. Let me tell you something as a father: my wife Milena and I went through many hard moments when we were on our own during the toughest periods our society went through, great hardship, wars, misfortunes, everything that shaped the fate of young people. In that general exodus that was happening then, and which is taking on apocalyptic proportions today, with our most talented, most successful children leaving to look for happiness abroad, I understand them, and I am glad that ours are here.

His children now work with him, which he pointed to in that same statement as a source of satisfaction.

Where Bajic Was Before This Post

He was last in the public eye in July, at the 33rd Palic European Film Festival. There he received the Aleksandar Lifka award, given for an outstanding contribution to European film, and the same evening the award also went to Hungarian director Kornel Mundruczo.

The post about his grandson came less than a month later. No announcement, no press materials, and no name for the village, just one photo and the fact that the boy carries his great-grandfather’s name.
