Mandira Bedi’s husband and filmmaker Raj Kaushal passes away of heart attack
Filmmaker Raj Kaushal passed away after suffering from a heart attack. Popular actor Mandira Bedi’s husband was in his 50s. Kaushal’s family friend and actor Rohit Roy confirmed the news to PTI. “He passed away today morning, at around 4.30 am at his home. He had a heart attack,” Roy said.
Later, Rohit posted an emotional note saying goodbye to Raj Kaushal. “And just like that, he’s gone, even without saying good bye. Too numb with grief and shock to react. This is not fair, just not fair,” he wrote.
“Raj, my friend, my brother, keep spreading the cheer where ever your next abode is. Knowing your penchant for good homes, I am sure you are looking for a good spot in heaven RIGHT NOW! We all loved you dearly and you know that. Unfortunately, we kept saying next week next week and that week never came. See you on the other side my bro. Till we raise hell again, REST IN PEACE,” he concluded.
One of my oldest, closest friends passes by and I can’t even be there at the funeral…can’t even see him okie last time…can’t pay my respects in person…and people think an actors job is all cushy and fun! It’s the most unenviable job in the world at times… @rajkaushal1 RIP🙏🏼
