She hosted the MAMI opening night. Although she didn't make an appearance on the red carpet, inside pictures from the event have now emerged on the internet. The actress was seen wearing a beautiful black and white gown. She also wore a black band on her left hand to honor her late father-in-law.
The cricketing legend passed away at the age of 77 on October 23. He died due to age-related prolonged illness. Bedi was a left-arm spinner who also captained the Indian team in 22 matches.
