Actor Mukul Dev, widely recognised for his roles in Hindi, Punjabi, and South Indian films, as well as television, has tragically passed away at the age of 54 on Friday night.
Known for his versatility, warmth, and kind-hearted nature, Mukul's death has sent ripples of sorrow across the entertainment industry.
Born on September 17, 1970, in New Delhi, Mukul Dev was one of the most prominent actors of his generation, known for his performances in multiple languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam.
He began his career in 1996 with the television series 'Mumkin' and quickly transitioned to films with his debut in 'Dastak', alongside Sushmita Sen.
Over the years, he went on to star in several iconic films, including 'Yamla Pagla Deewana', 'Son of Sardaar', 'R... Rajkumar', and 'Jai Ho'.
Despite his extensive career, Mukul's final role in 'Son of Sardaar 2', set to release later this year, was to be a significant milestone in his career.
His co-stars and industry colleagues, however, will not have the joy of sharing this moment with him.
Vindu Dara Singh, who worked with Mukul in 'Son of Sardaar 2', expressed his deep sorrow and shock after hearing the news of his passing.
Taking to social media, Vindu wrote, 'Rest in peace my brother #MukulDev! The time spent with you will always be cherished and #SonOfSardaar2 will be your swansong where you will spread joy and happiness to the viewers and make them fall down laughing!'
Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who worked alongside Mukul in the 1996 film Dastak, also shared his grief on social media.
In an emotional post on Instagram, Manoj wrote, 'It's impossible to put into words what I'm feeling. Mukul was a brother in spirit, an artist whose warmth and passion were unmatched. Gone too soon, too young. Praying for strength and healing for his family and everyone grieving this loss. Miss you meri jaan... until we meet again. Om Shanti.'
Mukul's funeral is set to take place in Delhi at 5 pm today, where his loved ones and close friends will gather to pay their final respects. (ANI)

World's most popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the U.S. after being detained by ICE
Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday (June 6, 2025) at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Also Read | Trump launches paid self-deportation program to end 'invasion' Mr Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday (June 10, 2025) to the email address listed on Mr Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Mr Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks.' He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.
