The untimely passing of actor Mukul Dev has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, leaving a deep sense of sorrow and disbelief. Known for his charm, talent, and quiet strength, Mukul’s death has left a void that words can barely describe. Many of his peers and admirers have expressed their grief, but it was actor Manoj Bajpayee’s heartfelt tribute that truly captured the pain of this loss. Taking to social media, Manoj remembered Mukul not just as a colleague but as a brother in spirit—someone whose warmth and talent left a lasting mark on those around him.
“It’s hard to find the right words for this kind of heartbreak,” Manoj wrote, expressing the emotional impact Mukul’s departure had on him. “He was like a brother to me, a soulful artist with a rare blend of compassion and passion. He left us far too soon and far too young...." he shared, posting a cherished photo of Mukul alongside the emotional note.
Besides Bajpai, actor Neil Nitin Mukesh also mourned the late actor. “Really upset with the sad news of dear Mukul leaving us so soon. A powerhouse performer and a lovely person..." he wrote on X.
In a 2021 interview with Hindustan Times, Mukul Dev reflected on two major turning points in his early acting journey—his association with Amitabh Bachchan’s production company and his long-standing bond with Sushmita Sen.
He revealed that his debut was initially planned under the banner of Bachchan’s company for a film titled 'Naam Kya Hai'. Although the project was eventually shelved, the experience became a stepping stone in his career. The promotional content for the film aired on television and garnered attention within the film industry, including from filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. This exposure proved crucial, as it played a role in Dev being cast in Dastak, his first released film, which marked a significant entry into Bollywood.
His debut in Dastak was all the more special because he shared the screen with Sushmita Sen, someone he had known from his modeling days in Delhi. According to the Hindustan Times, their shared history made the collaboration more meaningful. The film brought together fresh talents and was backed by the guidance of experienced professionals like Mahesh Bhatt and Sharad Kapoor. Dev described this period as a dream launch, filled with learning opportunities and creative excitement. For both him and Sushmita, it was a moment of transformation—from modeling ramps to film sets.
As for the circumstances surrounding his death, reports reveal that Mukul had been battling health issues and was admitted to the ICU. Sadly, despite medical efforts, his condition worsened, and he passed away. Actor Vindu Dara Singh, his co-star in Son of Sardar, confirmed the news and shared, “After losing his parents, Mukul became very withdrawn. He stopped stepping out or meeting people. His health declined rapidly in the last few days. My thoughts are with his brother and everyone who cared for him. He was a beautiful human being, and we will all miss him deeply.”
