Actor Vidya Malavade took to Instagram to share a deeply personal tribute to her late husband, Captain Arvind Singh Bagga, marking 25 years since his passing. Her heartfelt message reflected on love, grief, and the irreplaceable void left behind.
Vidya Malavade remembers her late husband
The 'Chak De!' India actor opened up about how the tragic loss continues to shape her life, even after more than two decades. “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’ some connects live life after, rest in peace, my beloved,” she wrote.
"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." she added.
The note came in the wake of the recent Air India plane crash on June 12, which Vidya said stirred painful memories. Her husband, Captain Arvind, lost his life in a similar tragedy — a plane crash in Patna — back in 2000. The couple had been married for just three years.

The only thing that really helped me is to live life in complete surrender & gratitude! Its the way the most bitter lessons turn into blessings. He’s still my guardian angel…my guiding light.”
