Rizwann Sikander remembers Mukul Dev: His encouragement marked the start of my career
Rizwann Sikander and Mukul Dev Mukul Dev 's sudden demise at the age of 54 has left the industry in shock. Among those struggling to come to terms with the news is actor Rizwann Sikander, who shared a close bond with him since their time together on Fear Factor India in 2006. Rizwann recalls, 'Mukul bhai always had a soft corner for me during Fear Factor India. I think he saw the youngest, most adrenaline-filled, mentally strong version of me — and gave me a special place in his heart. He constantly encouraged me to push forward and never give up. I'll never forget that he was the first to announce my victory, proud and beaming with joy. Sharing that historic win with him was the start of my career, and a memory I'll cherish forever. He truly was a gem of a person. His presence will be missed, but his belief in me will always stay in my heart.' The two last met on the sets of R... Rajkumar (2013), which starred Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha. Rizwann shares, 'We met through our common fitness coach. He was genuinely happy to see me, and all our Fear Factor memories came rushing back — we were laughing about all the goof-ups. I told him about my acting journey since then — working in Balaji TV shows, living in London, shooting a commercial, hosting a French reality show, even working at a restaurant near Victoria Bus Station, while continuing to pursue acting. He appreciated my journey, boosted my morale, and encouraged me to never give up on my dream. He gave me his blessings.' Rizwann remembers Mukul as someone who was warm, supportive, and grounded — traits that made a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.
