Raj Kaushal left for heavenly abode after suffering a heart attack and his wife Mandira Bedi and children Vir Kaushal and Tara Kaushal are inconsolable and devastated. Raj passed away early on Wednesday morning and his last rites were performed later in the day at Shivaji Park crematorium. Raj and Mandira’s friends from the industry Rohit Roy, Dino Morea, Ashish Chowdhry, and many more stood like a rock by Mandira during her tough times.
Now in a recent interview music director, Sulaiman Merchant had opened up about Raj’s last moments and said, “Raj was feeling uneasy in the evening. Well, he took an antacid tablet. Raj told Mandira that he was getting a heart attack. Mandira acted swiftly and called Ashish Chaudhary, who rushed to their place. Mandira and Ashish put him in the car but he was losing consciousness. I think they drove off, taking him to the Lilavati Hospital if I’m not wrong. But in the next 5-10 minutes, they realized that he had no pulse. Before they reached the doctor, it was too late.”
Sulaiman also said that Raj had also previously suffered from a heart attack when he was 30-32. He said, “I think he was 30-32 then. But they took a lot of care after that attack, and he’d kept fine since then.”
Sulaiman also spoke about Raj and his friendship and said, “I have lost a friend of 25 years. I knew him since the days he was assisting Mukul Anand on Dus. I had gone to his house once during the pandemic, many months back. Salim and I gave music to his first film Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi”.
He added, “I was frequently in touch with him. When we were going to start our album Bhoomi 2020, he offered us his bungalow in Madh island, which he rents out for shootings but eventually, we didn’t shoot there. It doesn’t get more shocking than this.”
