He was 54. The actor was cremated a day later at the Lodhi Crematorium in New Delhi, where Rahul Dev performed the last rites in an emotional ceremony attended by close family members and friends from the industry.Speaking to Hindi Rush, Rahul Dev said he was disturbed by the way personal grief was being covered during his brother\u2019s final journey.<\/p>\n Talking about the funeral, Rahul shared, \u201cYes, definitely. I have many good friends in the media, so this is not against everyone. But what happened during my brother\u2019s funeral was very strange.\u201dThe actor revealed that nobody from the media had been invited personally and that the family was simply trying to manage the situation amid grief.\u201cWe had to reach the crematorium from Max Hospital within an hour, and everything was happening very fast,\u201d he said.Rahul further explained that he only shared an Instagram story so relatives and close people could be informed in time.\u201cI simply put up an Instagram story because sometimes relatives later complain that they were not informed. But after that, it became madness,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n Watch<\/span><\/p>\n Rahul Dev talks about nepotism in Hindi film industry: ‘Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna, Shah Rukh Khan are all outsiders’<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Expressing disappointment over the behaviour he witnessed during the funeral, Rahul said he found it upsetting that people arrived only to click pictures during such a personal and painful moment.\u201cI find it very strange that someone\u2019s brother has passed away and people come there just to take photographs,\u201d he shared. The actor also said he does not regret asking people to stop filming and covering the ceremony.\u201cI don\u2019t feel ashamed about how I reacted at that moment. I did what felt right to me emotionally and sensibly,\u201d Rahul said.\u201cThe shame should be on the people who are covering such moments insensitively. That reflects their depth, not mine,\u201d he concluded.Mukul Dev was known for his work across Hindi, Punjabi, and regional cinema, along with several television appearances over the years. He is survived by his daughter Sia Dev and his siblings, including Rahul Dev.<\/div>\n\u2018I had not invited anybody there\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
