Actor Mukul Dev, known for his powerful performances across Hindi, Punjabi, and South Indian cinema and television, has passed away at the age of 54. According to a report by IANS, the seasoned performer had been battling an illness and was recently moved to the Intensive Care Unit. The exact cause behind his sudden demise has not yet been made public.
Actress Deepshikha Nagpal, a dear friend of Mukul, confirmed the heartbreaking news on her Instagram. She shared a nostalgic throwback photo with a simple yet poignant caption, "RIP." Speaking to India Today, Deepshikha recalled that Mukul was extremely private about his health and never discussed it with anyone—even in their WhatsApp group of close friends where they often exchanged messages. Holding back tears, she added, “I woke up to this news and kept calling his phone, hoping he'd answer. It feels surreal.”
Actor Vindu Dara Singh, who co-starred with Mukul in Son of Sardaar, also confirmed the tragic news. He mourned that Mukul would never get the chance to watch himself light up the big screen again.
Mukul Dev’s final film appearance was in the Hindi movie Anth: The End. He was the younger brother of actor Rahul Dev.
The Journey of Mukul Dev
Born in New Delhi into a Punjabi household, Mukul grew up immersed in a rich cultural heritage. His family's roots trace back to a village near Jalandhar. In an earlier interview, Mukul had shared how his father, who spoke Pashto and Persian fluently, introduced him to Afghan traditions. His father, Hari Dev, served as an assistant commissioner of police and passed away in 2019 at the age of 91.
Mukul made his cinematic debut in 1996 with the film Dastak, portraying ACP Rohit Malhotra—this movie also launched the film career of Miss Universe Sushmita Sen. He went on to appear in several Bollywood films including Qila (1998), Wajood (1998), Kohram (1999), and Mujhe Meri Biwi Se Bachaao (2001).
On television, Mukul made his presence felt in popular shows like Kahin Diyaa Jale Kahin Jiyaa (2001), Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii (2003), and Pyar Zindagi Hai (2003). He also participated in the celebrity dance show Kabhi Kabhii Pyaar Kabhi Kabhii Yaar (2008).
In recent years, he portrayed character roles in successful films like Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011), Son of Sardaar (2012), R... Rajkumar (2013), and Jai Ho. Mukul also made his mark as the host of Fear Factor India: Season 1.
His untimely death leaves a void in the world of entertainment, and he will be remembered for his talent, humility, and unforgettable screen presence.
