Mukul Dev's Sudden Death SHOCKED Arjan Bajwa: 'We Were Working On A Script'
Last Updated:
In an emotional tribute, Arjan Bajwa reveals that late actor Mukul Dev was working on a script tailored for him before his untimely death.
Actor Arjan Bajwa is still reeling from the sudden passing of actor-writer Mukul Dev, a loss he says has left a void that words can't quite fill. Speaking just hours after the news broke on Saturday morning, the 45-year-old shares that the two shared far more than just screen space—they shared a bond forged in trust, creativity, and mutual admiration.
'What I'm feeling can't be put into words," Arjan says softly. 'Mukul and I weren't just colleagues from Son of Sardaar. We knew each other much before that and stayed connected long after. In fact, we were recently talking about a project he was writing specifically for me. The script was ready. It was something special."
The duo may have shared limited screen time in their collaborations—including State of Siege: 26/11—but off-camera, their friendship was deeply rooted. 'We would constantly exchange messages, hop on video calls. I have more than 100 minutes of his voice notes—him sharing thoughts, ideas, or just guiding me like an older brother. He always made time," Arjan recalls.
One of the most personal threads that connected them was their love for aviation. 'He was a certified pilot, and I fly as a hobby. Every time I left him a voice note, he'd tease me: 'You sound like a PA announcement on a flight. Talk to me nicely, yaar—thoda mazak mein baat kar!' That laughter… it's still ringing in my ears."
Despite their closeness, Arjan laments how they never took many photos together. 'When you're genuinely close to someone, you don't think of capturing it. At events you click pictures, but in real life—when you're talking often, meeting regularly—you just live in the moment."
It's Mukul's humour that Arjan says he'll miss most. 'He had that unmistakable Punjabi wit. Sometimes the jokes were so crass, you couldn't help but laugh. We'd speak in Punjabi and just crack up. That was our language of friendship."
As he speaks, it's clear that Arjan isn't just mourning a collaborator—he's grieving the loss of a kindred spirit, a brother in both art and life.

Sunanda Sharma's Jaguar Vandalised In London, Louis Vuitton Bags Stolen: 'Everything Is Gone'
Last Updated: Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma's Jaguar was vandalised in London, with LV bags and other items stolen. She shared an emotional video, questioning UK safety measures. Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma, known for hit tracks like Jatt Yamla, Pagal Nahi Hona, and Jaani Tera Naa, recently took to social media to share a harrowing experience while in London. In a video posted from a dimly lit parking lot, the visibly shaken artist revealed that her Jaguar had been broken into, its windows shattered and personal belongings worth lakhs stolen. Sunanda stood beside the vandalised vehicle, filming the aftermath with quiet resolve. The car's back window was smashed, shards of glass scattered across the seats and pavement. Despite the obvious damage, Sunanda offered a weary smile, reflecting not just loss but the emotional fatigue of facing such an incident far from home. Two Louis Vuitton bags, a suitcase, and a handbag—all of which she described as special and purchased through her own hard work—were stolen. 'Everything is gone," she said in Punjabi, pointing to the car. 'Both were my favourite. They've taken everything." In a post accompanying the video, Sunanda wrote, 'Ve main jehde paase vekhaa, mainu chor disde. UK waaleyo eh koi gal te nai na. Sari raat neend nai aayi baadshaho. Kehda LV te Kehda Prada, oh gya oh gya oh gya." The caption, raw and lyrical, hinted at her disbelief and helplessness, but also carried a wry resilience. 'Maybe we were saved from something worse," she added. This moment of vulnerability struck a chord with fans, who flooded the comments with messages of love and outrage. Many questioned the state of public safety in London, especially in areas presumed to be secure. This isn't the first time Sunanda has opened up about personal turmoil. Earlier this year, she filed an FIR against music producer Pinky Dhaliwal on charges of financial exploitation and mental harassment. In a now-deleted post, she described the emotional toll, stating she had spent nights crying alone, sometimes contemplating suicide. 'They treat us like beggars," she had written, calling out the darker side of showbiz where young artists are often preyed upon. Together, both episodes paint a picture of a young artist constantly navigating betrayal—whether it comes from a business associate or from a faceless act of theft in a foreign city. But what stands out is Sunanda's ability to maintain dignity through it all. There is no melodrama, only a quiet assertion of what was lost, and an even quieter defiance. First Published:
