Days after his death, Rahul Dev has revealed the actual reason behind brother Mukul's death in an interview with The Times Of India.
What's Happening
Days after actor Mukul Dev's death, his brother Rahul Dev cleared the air over what led to his death.
Mukul Dev, who had been living in Delhi since 2019 to look after his ailing parents, became a recluse and he didn't eat on time, revealed his brother.
"He was 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. Of course, he felt lonely, and he had lost interest in life...He would turn down several work offers... Only now, after completing all the rituals, is the reality sinking in - and I know the pain will only deepen," Rahul told The Times Of India.
Reacting to the reports claiming his brother was suffering from depression, Rahul Dev said, "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?"
Rahul also added that he wants to remember his brother not as a "man who faded away", but "as the super charming, intelligent, and sensitive person he truly was".

Sushmita Sen, recently shared her experience of meeting US President Donald Trump while she managed the Miss India franchise from 2010 to 2012, when the politician owned the organisation The most celebrated Miss Universe and Bollywood actress, Sushmita Sen, recently shared her experience of meeting US President Donald Trump while she managed the Miss India franchise from 2010 to 2012, when the politician owned the organisation. 'The Miss Universe Organisation called me, and said, 'Would you like to take the franchise?' I was like, 'What? Really? That was like a dream!' I signed a pretty intense contract when I took on this franchise, and that was owned by Donald Trump — which didn't make it easy or fun,' said Sen while talking to Mid-Day. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Clarifying that Trump was not her direct boss, she shared, 'Luckily, the only people who were my boss at that time were Paramount Communications and Madison Square Garden, because they owned Miss Universe when I was an employee of Miss Universe for a year. I was a franchise owner for Donald Trump.' When questioned whether Trump left an impression on her, the actress replied, 'There are some people who leave an impression, not necessarily because of their achievements or power. Just for the people that they are. He is not one of them.' Sushmita Sen created history when she became the first Indian woman to win the Miss Universe title in 1994. She featured in movies like Dastak, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?, Biwi No. 1, Chingari, Main Hoon Na, Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge, Kyo Kii… Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai and Aankhen among others. After a break, Sushmita made a comeback with web shows like Taali and Aarya. While the latter ran for three seasons, the former was based on the life of transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant. Directed by Ravi Jadhav, the show also featured Ankur Bhatia and Aishwarya Narkar among others in prominent roles.

Who Is Indias Most Famous Ghost Hunter? Talked To Spirits, Later Found Dead Under His Shower; The Reason Behind His Mysterious Death Is...
On July 7, 2016, renowned Indian paranormal investigator Gaurav Tiwari was found dead at his home in Dwarka, leaving fans and the paranormal community stunned. At just 31, he was discovered lying on his bathroom floor with a faint black mark around his neck. While police classified it as a case of asphyxiation, many were skeptical, unwilling to believe it was a straightforward suicide—especially given his mysterious line of work and rising fame. From TV Host to Paranormal Icon Born on September 2, 1984, Gaurav rose to fame as the host of MTV's Girl's Night Out with Rannvijay Singh, where three women braved haunted locations to face supernatural forces. He also appeared in shows like Haunted Weekends with Sunny Leone, Bhoot Aaya, Fear Files, and Haunting: Australia. As the CEO and founder of the Indian Paranormal Society, he became a recognized figure both in India and abroad, investigating ghosts, UFOs, and unexplained phenomena. The Mystery of His Passing Although the post-mortem confirmed death due to asphyxia, speculation swirled about possible foul play. Just a month earlier, Gaurav had confided in his wife about feeling an overpowering negative force pulling him in, something he was finding hard to resist. She dismissed it then, attributing it to work-related pressure. According to Surender Kumar, DCP (South-West), police concluded, 'It is a clear case of suicide. He hanged himself in the bathroom with his wife's dupatta on Thursday night,' as reported to The Times of India.
