Vidya Malavade On Losing Husband In 2000 Plane Tragedy: 'Air India Crash Brought It Back'
Last Updated: Vidya Malavade remembers her first husband Captain Arvind Singh Bagga on his 25th death anniversary. The actor says the recent Air India crash reopened memories of his death. Before she became a beloved face on the silver screen, Vidya Malavade had already faced the kind of heartbreak few can imagine. On the 25th death anniversary of her first husband, Captain Arvind Singh Bagga, the actor took to Instagram to share a deeply moving note about love, loss, and lingering memories that refuse to fade—even with the passage of time. '25 years of not looking into your eyes, touching your face, holding you, talking nonstop nonsense, driving you nuts, laughing with you, crying in your arms, & feeling 'safe'," she wrote, adding poignantly, 'Some connects live life after. Rest in peace, my beloved." Captain Arvind was flying Alliance Air Flight 7412 when it crashed in Patna in July 2000, taking his life and that of many others. At the time, Vidya was just 27 years old and only three years into their marriage. The tragedy left an indelible impact on her life—a shadow of grief that still follows her today, albeit one she now meets with grace and gratitude. Referencing the tragic Air India crash on June 12, which claimed over 240 lives near Ahmedabad airport, Vidya revealed how the recent incident stirred painful memories. 'The crash on 12th June hit where it hurts the most…& even though I may be forgetful…those memories, every single detail still so fresh in my mind…including how I FELT at what moment." Despite the immense loss, Vidya shared how Arvind's passing taught her to cherish the fleeting nature of existence. 'A lifetime of unanswered questions! & even though I live life with no regrets… sometimes you miss someone for the way they made you feel… just makes us realise how fragile… precious & unpredictable life is… hold our dear ones close." Her reflections carry the weight of someone who has not only survived tragedy but also chosen to live with purpose. 'The only thing that really helped me is to live life in complete surrender & gratitude! It's the way the most bitter lessons turn into blessings," she wrote, affirming her belief that Arvind remains close by. 'He's still my guardian angel… my guiding light." In a heartfelt tribute, Vidya captioned her post with lyrics from the iconic Celine Dion ballad: 'My heart will go on .. with all the love you have poured in to it…Forever.. & our favourite song at the time." Today, Vidya is married to director Sanjay Dayma, whom she wed in 2009. Her journey from tragedy to triumph has seen her rise as a respected actor, beginning with her debut in Inteha in 2003 and finding widespread recognition in Chak De! India opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 2007. More recently, she has appeared in the film Sangee and the popular web series Mismatched.

Is The Revolutionaries Rohit Saraf's bold move to break the soft-boy mold?
Actor Rohit Saraf has long worn the 'chocolate boy' label like a second skin. From 'Mismatched', 'The Sky is Pink' to 'Ludo', he has carried the image of a guy-next-door. He is the sensitive one, the 'future-husband' material and the boy who made fans (especially his female fans) love his sincerity. His on-screen charm is a quality that makes him instantly likeable. He carved a space for himself in an industry that is obsessed with six-pack abs and masculine personas. And all of that could just be changing with his next, 'The Revolutionaries.'advertisementThe upcoming Prime Video original series is still tightly under wraps. However, the 28-year-old's first-look from the show at least promises something different. While the 56-second teaser offers more, featuring Pratibha Ranta, Bhuvam Bam, Gurfateh Pirzada and Jason Shah, you know who you are looking out for!The series is based on author Sanjeev Sanyal's acclaimed book 'Revolutionaries: The Other Story Of How India Won Its Freedom'. It follows a group of young Indian freedom fighters who believed that armed resistance was essential to ending British rule. In what could be his boldest choice yet, Saraf seems ready to shed his older image. There's fire in his eyes and what looks like the weight of rebellion on his shoulders. He steps into a role that is rugged, layered and politically charged. At least that's what the teaser promises. His body language suggests unrest, resistance, and deep inner a stark reintroduction, or a calculated reinvention, even. In choosing such a serious character, he seems to have taken on a new kind of responsibility as a pivot is a bold move for an actor who's built a fan base rooted in youthfulness and innocence. While little is known about the plot, this is the kind of role that demands gravitas and restraint. These are traits we haven't seen him lean into now in his late twenties, seems to be entering a transitional phase that every actor eventually faces. There's a clear intention to be taken more seriously. Not just in terms of character, but also can also low-key compare the career trajectory of Saraf to that of Shahid Kapoor's. Like Saraf, Kapoor began with a boyish charm that made him a teen heartthrob. 'Ishq Vishk' cemented his image as the affable college crush. But it wasn't until films like 'Kaminey' and 'Haider' that he shook off that perception and demanded to be taken now appears to be on the cusp of a similar leap. He seems to be moving from campus romances to heavier and harder-hitting narratives - a way to reinvent himself as an actor or perhaps an attempt at simply trying to experiment more as an is still pretty early to judge how he will perform in the series or how well the series itself will fare once it releases. Would he carry the weight of the revolution and play a character rooted in historical weight and national memory? Will his audience accept him in this new mould? However, one thing is certain. 'The Revolutionaries' marks the beginning of something different for Saraf. Something less polished, more powerful. With the first-look of the series, he has made it clear that he's done playing it this is a one-off experiment or the start of a deeper transformation, he is no longer just the internet's favourite soft boy. Reinvention isn't easy. But sometimes, all it takes is one performance to change the stepping into something braver, and potentially career-defining. Currently in production, 'The Revolutionaries' is being filmed across Mumbai, Amritsar, Varanasi and Dehradun. It is slated for release on Prime Video in 2026.- EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Rohit Saraf
