Last Updated: Mandira Bedi remembered her late husband, Raj Kaushal, on his death anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post. Kaushal, a filmmaker, passed away in 2021. Some losses never get easier and Mandira Bedi's latest post proves just that. On her husband Raj Kaushal's death anniversary today, June 30, the actress and TV personality took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute that tugged at all the right heartstrings. Mandira, who often shares memories of Raj with their kids and her followers, kept it simple yet deeply touching this time. She took to Instagram to share a sweet throwback photo with her late husband Raj Kaushal, writing, '4 years since you left us. Miss you." The picture shows a joyful moment between the two, Mandira flashing a warm smile as Raj wraps his arms around her from behind. For those who may not know, Raj Kaushal passed away suddenly on June 30, 2021, after suffering a heart attack. He and Mandira Bedi had been married since 1999 and shared a beautiful family.

'Not Just Another Sports Memoir' Shikhar Dhawan To Release Autobiography: Report
Last Updated: Shikhar Dhawan is reportedly set to release his autobiography, possibly with HarperCollins. Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan could soon be adding 'author' to his list of achievements. According to a report by Hindustan Times, citing sources close to the cricketer, suggests that Dhawan may be preparing to release his autobiography. An image shared exclusively with the publication reportedly shows Dhawan at home, holding what appears to be a manuscript or pre-publication proof, hinting at a forthcoming book project. The report also claims that publishing heavyweight HarperCollins may be involved, although no official statement has been issued by either the publisher or Dhawan. 'This is not just another sports memoir," a source close to the development was quoted as saying by the report. 'If it is indeed what we believe it is, this book could be Dhawan's way of reflecting on his journey — from the cricket fields of Delhi to global stardom," the source added. Gabbar's Cricketing Career Known affectionately as 'Gabbar," Dhawan was a regular feature in Indian cricket for over a decade. Shikhar's remarkable consistency in global tournaments makes his name stand out, as the left-handed boasts an average of 65.15 across ICC World Cups and Champions Trophies, the highest among batters with at least 1,000 runs in those competitions. He was named Player of the Tournament in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and finished as India's top scorer in the 2015 Cricket World Cup. Dhawan made his ODI debut against Australia in October 2010 at Visakhapatnam. His Test debut came in March 2013 against the same team at Mohali, where he scored a blistering 187 off 174 balls, which still holds the record for the fastest century on debut (in 85 balls) and the highest score by an Indian debutant in Test history. In August 2013, he hammered 248 off 150 balls for India A against South Africa A in Pretoria, which was the then-second-highest score in List A cricket. He also became the first Indian to score a century in his 100th ODI, achieving the feat against South Africa in Johannesburg. On 14 June 2018, he became the first Indian and sixth overall to score a century before lunch on day one of a Test, doing so against Afghanistan Dhawan announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 24 August 2024.
