Over the years, she has starred in various other projects, including Do Hanson Ka Jodaa, Havan, and Chidiya Ghar, but her most noticeable work remains in one of the longest-running shows on Indian television – Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain.

She wrote, 'He spoke of very simple things-that it is right for a gull to fly,that freedom is the very nature of his being,that whatever stands against that freedom must be set aside,be it ritual or superstition or limitation in any form. 'Set aside," came a voice from the multitude, even if it be the law of the flock?" The only true law is that which leads to freedom," He said. 'There is no other." For most gulls it was not flying that matters,but eating. For this gull,though,it was not eating that mattered,but flight.

His brother, Rahul Dev opened up about what led to the tragic loss. In an interview with The Times of India, Rahul shared that Mukul had been in the ICU for eight and a half days. 'Medically, it was a result of poor eating habits. In the last four-five days, he had stopped eating altogether," he said. Rahul also mentioned that Mukul had been feeling lonely and had lost interest in life, turning down several work offers. Addressing rumors about Mukul's mental health, Rahul dismissed speculations of depression. 'The people who are speaking out now weren't even in touch with him. They say he was unfit, but he ran half-marathons. Yes, he had gained weight — when someone stops caring about themselves, it shows… Who really stayed in touch with him between 2019 and 2024? Did they visit him when he was in the hospital or attend his prayer meet?" he said. Mukul Dev was known for his work in several films including Wajood (1998), Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena (2005), Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011), Son Of Sardar (2012), among others.

How politicians and public figures are fighting fit
If Indian politics is a theatre, Tamil Nadu is a multiplex. Where cigarette flicks and dark glasses are the perennial symbols of style and substance, sycophancy does a tandava over psephology. And with the players ensconced in the ministerial thrones in Delhi, it is no longer just a southern delight. Arun Ram, Resident Editor, The Times of India, Tamil Nadu, who alternates between the balcony and the front row, says it incites as much as it excites. During the intervals, he chews on a bit of science and such saner things. LESS ... MORE The counting started at 22. Twenty-three … twenty-four … the announcer went on, as the 73-year-old man in a white T-shirt and black tracks did pushups on a school stage in Madurai on International Yoga Day past Saturday. At the count of 51, governor R N Ravi stood up, dusted his palms, and walked away. Purists may say push-ups aren't part of yoga, but then the former IPS officer had just demonstrated how yoga helps him keep fit – and strong. Politicians have a gruelling routine, waking up early to meet and greet people, holding endless meetings and traveling extensively. The daily schedule itself is physical exercise, but for politicians to keep going, they need to inculcate the habit of structured workouts. And many of them are doing it in good earnest. Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin walks, cycles and occasionally does weight training. When he came for The Times of India's Happy Streets at Anna Nagar on Aug 23, 2022, I asked him if he wanted to walk just half the street and go back. 'I want to do the whole thing,' he said, and went on to walk the almost 2km stretch, stopping intermittently to play basketball, badminton and table tennis. When I told him I was impressed by his fitness level, Stalin whispered a joke: 'You know, when I go abroad with my son (Udhayanidhi), some people who don't know us wonder if we are brothers.' I pulled his leg: 'Who's the elder brother?' Udhayanidhi, 47, says his busy schedule as deputy chief minister has robbed him of his gym hours, but he plays badminton. Actor-politician Vijay, who has worked himself out for his first profession, may find it useful to maintain his physique for the more taxing second profession. Unlike many politicians who don't play the game despite presiding over the apex bodies of those sports, PMK leader Anbumani, who is the president of Tamil Nadu Badminton Association, is a regular at the badminton court. NTK leader Seeman's gym videos have gone viral, not just because of his comment 'I do a thousand reps (of bicep curls with dumbbells) when I get aggressive'. Among the previous generation politicians, Vaiko, now 81, kept himself fit playing volleyball even when he spent 18 months in prison during 2002-2003 for making pro-LTTE speeches. According to Sudesh Verma, the author of 'Narendra Modi the Gamechanger, the 74-year-old Prime Minister rarely skips his morning walk. He also finds time for yoga and meditation. Among the younger lot, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, 55, is a black belt in the Japanese martial art of aikido. Union sports minister Kiran Rijiju is a fitness freak who posts workout videos on his social media handles. Congress leader Sachin Pilot, 47, runs marathons, and plays cricket and football. NCP MP Supriya Sule, 55, cycles and does yoga regularly. Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy, 55, is a football enthusiast. BJP's Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya, 34, trumped them all, completing the Ironman 70.3 challenge in Goa last Oct that included 1.9km swimming, 90km cycling and 21.1km running. The caricature of politicians as potbellied old men in white kurtas is passe. It's high time our cartoonists drew politicians as fit and fashionable men and women. Our politicians have realized the need to be in shape and flaunt it as part of image building. And that's a healthy trend that should inspire people to follow suit. Increasing scientific evidence points to how physical fitness fosters a sharp mind – and that's something a politician cannot lose, should he remain in circulation. As for our lawmakers, if a healthy body is a prerequisite to having a healthy mind, being fit should leave them with one less excuse for bad decisions.
