Mandira Bedi breaks down remembering late husband Raj Kaushal
Actor, television host and fashion designer Mandira Bedi became emotional while speaking about her late husband, Raj Kaushal, at the trailer launch of her upcoming film, Max, Min and Meowzaki. As she reflected on one of the most difficult phases of her life, Mandira shared how therapy helped her deal with grief and slowly find her way forward after losing Raj in 2021.
Opening up about the role therapy has played in her life, Mandira Bedi shared that she has been seeking professional help for nearly two decades. Recalling one of her earliest experiences, she said, “Therapy, counselling and trying to understand myself better have been important parts of my life. I first went to therapy about 20 years ago. When I told my mother that I had attended a therapy session, she asked, 'Why? What happened to you?' I told her that I needed to get out what was going on in my mind. My mother then said, 'You could have talked to me.' But I replied, ‘No.’”
The actress said, “Whenever I felt something was wrong or unbalanced in my life, I sought the help of a therapist and counselor. It always benefited me a lot. When I lost my husband, therapy became a source of healing for me, which is why I resorted to it.”
Mandira Bedi married filmmaker Raj Kaushal on February 14, 1999, and the couple built a life together over the next two decades. They welcomed their son, Veer, and later adopted their daughter, Tara, in 2020. Raj passed away in June 2021 after suffering a heart attack at the age of 50. As a filmmaker, he directed movies including Shaadi Ka Laddu and Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi.
