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.
