Mandira Bedi recalls 'darkest phase' after husband Raj Kaushal's death.
Actor and host Mandira Bedi lost her husband Raj Kaushal in 2021. At the trailer launch of her upcoming film Max, Min and Meowzaki, Mandira revealed that therapy helped her cope with the loss of her partner.
During the event, Mandira opened up about the role therapy has played in her life, and shared that she has been taking professional help for around two decades. Recalling one of her early 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 actor broke down and further added, “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 in 1999. The couple welcomed their son, Veer, before adopting their daughter, Tara, in 2020. However, Raj died of a heart attack in June 2021 at the age of 50.
