'My Brother ... Nikhil' filmmaker Onir has confirmed Kaushal's death on social media. "Gone too soon. We lost film maker and producer Raj Kaushal this morning. Very sad.

The 'My Brother ... Nikhil' producer and Bedi got hitched in February 1999. Mandira and Kaushal had their first child-Veer in June 2011 and adopted a 4-year old girl in 2020, who they named Tara Bedi Kaushal.
