On Wednesday morning, popular actress Mandira Bedi lost her husband, filmmaker Raj Kaushal, to cardiac arrest. Raj, a known producer, was 49. While Mandira and the family is yet to issue a statement, director Onir confirmed the news on Twitter some time ago. Raj had produced Onir's film My Brother Nikhil.

"Gone too soon. We lost Film maker and Producer @rajkaushal1 this morning. Very Sad. He was one of the producers of my first film #MyBrotherNikhil. One of those few who believed in our vision and supported us. Prayers for his soul," Onir tweeted.
