"And we were more than that—we were friends. We had this group, we used to chat on the (phone) group. We always updated each other. But this time, he never said anything—that he's not well or anything. It is unbelievable.”
Remembering him as a “fantastic human being”, Deepshikha added: “I have no words. The whole world knows about it. It's so shocking. I still can't believe it. I still feel it must be fake news. And sometimes it's fake news. I woke up with this. And I called on his phone only. Thinking he'll pick up.
Does she know the reasons behind his death?
“No, we don't know. Nobody knows. We just heard that he was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). I can't tell because I don't know how far it's true. So no point in spreading rumors, you know.
The worst thing is he's no more. And it's the biggest loss for the industry. Because he's an amazing actor, an amazing human being, you know.”
The actress said that he was juggling between Mumbai and New Delhi.
“But whenever he used to be in Bombay, he used to meet me off late. Because of my busy schedule and his things, we couldn't meet. But we knew that he's here—with this "let's meet" thing. But I had no clue that he's not well. It's just not right.”
“I know, for me, he's always there in my heart. I know the people who are close to him will miss the cinema. I think people will always remember him. He's always alive for all of us—in his spirit and thing.”
Deepshikha is praying for strength for Mukul Dev's family, especially his mother and daughter.
“I’ll just say, give strength to his mom, his daughter, his family, you know. They are the closest. They are the people—family—who suffer the most. And may his soul rest in peace. Because for us, he'll always be alive, you know.”
“He's always there. I was seeing his chats and I was seeing his voice notes. And I'm like, I don't believe it’s just—May his soul rest in peace.”
Mukul Dev was last seen in the Hindi film 'Anth The End' in 2022. The drama was directed by K. S. Malhotra. It also stars Divya Dutta, Dev Sharma and Samikssha Batnagar.
