Rahul Dev, an established Indian actor, shared his emotional journey following the death of his wife, Rina Dev, who succumbed to cancer on May 16, 2009. After her passing, he took a break from his acting career to raise their son, Siddharth. When he attempted to return to the film industry after four and a half years, he encountered significant challenges, feeling as though he had been forgotten by the industry. In an interview with Hindi Rush, Dev expressed that despite having acted in over 80 films, he struggled to find work upon his return. He credited his spiritual guru with helping him regain confidence, which eventually led him to accept a role in the reality show Bigg Boss. Dev emphasized that he does not harbor bitterness towards the industry for the changes he experienced, acknowledging that circumstances change over time. He is currently in a relationship with model-actor Mugdha Godse and has upcoming projects, including a Punjabi film titled Mor Sab Da Banuga, set for release on October 2, 2026.
