Mandira Bedi is one of the popular faces in the Television industry and Bollywood. The actress lost her husband Raj Kaushal in 2021. Recently, in an interview, she opened up about her life after Raj passed away. Mandira asserted that her first year without her husband was very tough for her. She also mentioned that things are going a bit easier with each passing year. The Saaho actress further shared that she went for therapy and for the rest of her life she would be grieving him. 

In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Mandira said “The only way out is through. Of course, my children and I think of him every day. It’s not like we’ve forgotten him. The first year was very, very, very, very hard. The first of everything is just impossible to deal with. The first birthday, the first anniversary, the first Diwali, the first Christmas, the first New Year. The second one is a little bit easier, the third one is a little bit easier…”

She continued, “There are moments when we remember him because of a song. I’ve done the therapy I’ve needed to, there are times I still do it. As human beings, we are always a work in progress… What I can do now is talk about it. It makes me emotional, but I can. There was a time I couldn’t. But I won’t break down… I started working two months after it happened… I have to support my family and myself. I need to do it for my children. But for the rest of my life, I’ll always grieve him.”

 
Mandira and Raj got hitched in 1999 and they became parents of two children Vir and Tara. The actress has been known for her roles in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Dus Kahaniyaan, Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, Papa Ban Gaye Hero, Saaho, Shanti and Manmadhan to name a few.
