Filmmaker Raj Kaushal, who directed movies like `Shaadi Ka Laddoo and `Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi`, passed away early Wednesday morning following a heart attack, family friend and actor Rohit Roy said. He was in his 50s. Kaushal was married to actor-TV presenter Mandira Bedi. The couple has two children, son Vir and daughter Tara. For the uninitiated, Mandira and Raj adopted Tara during the first wave of a pandemic outbreak. The duo was excited to share the news when their younger daughter accepted them as a family.

"He passed away today morning, at around 4.30 am at his home. He had a heart attack," Roy told PTI.
