A lesser-known yet fascinating fact about Mukul’s career is that he was the original host of ‘Fear Factor India’, the earlier version of what is now known as Khatron Ke Khiladi.
He fronted the show in 2006, bringing his signature flair to the daring format. However, the series was abruptly discontinued midway, with no official explanation ever released. It wasn’t until 2008 that the show was revived and rebranded as Khatron Ke Khiladi by COLORS TV, eventually becoming a household favourite.
Mukul Dev’s journey in the world of entertainment was marked by passion, dedication, and a genuine love for the craft. From his early television roles to his impactful film appearances, he leaves behind a legacy cherished by colleagues and fans alike.
May his soul rest in peace, and may his contributions to Indian cinema and television be fondly remembered.
