Overview
- Rahul Dev said photographers showed up at Mukul Dev’s funeral to take pictures despite no invitation and he traced their presence to funeral details he posted on Instagram to inform relatives.
- He said he confronted those filming the rites and added he felt no shame for doing so, arguing the people recording should feel embarrassed.
- He described a period of decline in Mukul’s life, saying his brother felt lonely after a divorce, turned down work, and stopped eating properly before his final hospital stay.
- Mukul Dev died in May 2025 after a brief illness and an ICU stay, and he was cremated the next day at Lodhi Crematorium in New Delhi where Rahul performed the last rites.
- The Indian Express framed his remarks within wider concerns about paparazzi intrusions, citing a leaked ICU video and aggressive coverage around Dharmendra’s final days, with no formal industry response reported.
