This morning, we woke up with the sad news that actress Mandira Bedi’s husband and filmmaker Raj Kaushal (49) passed away due to cardiac arrest. He had directed films like Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi (1999), Shaadi Ka Laddoo (2004), and Anthony Kaun Hai (2006).
Mandira and Raj had tied the knot in 1999, and in 2011, they welcomed their first child, Vir. Last year, the couple adopted a 4-year-old girl and named her Tara Bedi Kaushal.
Many Bollywood celebs took to social media to mourn Raj’s demise.
Riteish Deshmukh tweeted, “Raj Kaushal was a man with a hearty laugh, tight hug and a story to tell. Am deeply saddened and shocked to learn that he is no more. My deepest condolences to @mandybedi and the entire family. #heartbroken gone too soon.”
