Mukul Dev was such a versatile actor who never got his due in Bollywood. From action to comedy, he could do it all with ease. His performance in 'Son of Sardaar' was brilliant. Gone too soon at just 54 😔 May his soul rest in peace.

Pooja Bhatt's tribute is so heartfelt 💔 It's touching to see such genuine friendships in the film industry. Mukul Dev's journey from a Michael Jackson impersonator to pilot to actor was truly inspiring. We need more artists like him who followed their passions fearlessly.

I remember watching him in Fear Factor India as a kid! He had such a commanding presence. Sad that many younger audiences today might not know about his contributions to Indian television and cinema. The industry should honor such talents while they're still with us.

His role in 'Dastak' opposite Sushmita Sen was so good! It's surprising he didn't get more lead roles after that. The industry often wastes talented character actors like him. At least Pooja Bhatt's beautiful words show he was valued by those who knew him personally ✨

A trained pilot who became an actor - what an interesting life journey! Shows how multi-talented he was. His Punjabi roots and Afghan cultural connection through his father make his background so unique. We need to document these stories of our artists better.

While the tribute is beautiful, it makes me wonder why we only celebrate actors properly after they're gone. Mukul Dev deserved more recognition during his lifetime. The industry should reflect on how it treats its character artists and supporting actors.
