Mandira Bedi did not want to have a child after her marriage. The actress was then venturing into presenting sports, and her work didn't give her time to plan a child. However, when some relatives in her family were trying for IVF and the process was failing for them, she decided to have a child. Later, Mandira realised that it was the best decision that she made.
Mandira Bedi's husband, Raj Kaushal, passed away on June 30, 2021. The cause of his sudden death was a heart attack that came as a shock to their friends and family. The Shanti actress shared that she and her children talk about her late husband daily, and she has dealt with it. In the same interview, she 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…”
