Mandira Bedi has been open about the pain of losing her husband, director Raj Kaushal, to a heart attack in 2021. The actress has revealed in a recent interview with YouTube channel “The Full Circle” that she still struggles to come to terms with his loss.
Mandira Bedi’s Emotional Struggle
“The first year after Raj’s passing was incredibly tough,” Mandira shared. “Every festival, every celebration felt incomplete without him.” She recalled spending hours alone in a room, overcome with grief.
A Different Way of Celebrating
Mandira explained that she doesn’t observe Raj’s death anniversary. Instead, she marks his birthday in a special way. “Why dwell on a day that brings so much pain?” she questioned. “We should cherish the memories, not the sorrow.”
Supporting Her Children
Mandira has been candid about how she’s helped her children cope with their loss. She encouraged her son, Veer, to express his emotions freely, never stopping him from crying. Her daughter, Tara, was just eight months old when Raj passed away, so she didn’t get to know him well. Mandira married Raj in 1999, and they had Veer in 2011. They adopted Tara in 2020.
