New Delhi:
Rahul Dev’s wife, Rina Dev, died on May 16, 2009 after a prolonged battle with cancer. It was then that he took a break from work to raise his son, but he struggled to get back on his feet when he returned to the industry four and a half years later.
What’s Happening
- Rahul Dev opened up about the challenges he faced as a single parent. He credited his spiritual guru for instilling the confidence and faith in him to send his son to London for studies, and also for getting back to work.
- The actor shared with Hindi Rush, “When the call for Bigg Boss came, I didn’t think I would do it. But Guruji told me, ‘Go, you have to start somewhere.’ That’s how things slowly began again. When I came back, I wasn’t getting work. I had done 80-81 films, but after four-and-a-half years away, it felt like nobody even knew me anymore. People had forgotten me.”
- He added, “I can’t blame anyone because times change. I never liked blaming people. I always feel the important thing is to learn from experiences. I’m not bitter that I did so much for the industry and this happened. The industry has also given me a lot. Leaving was my choice because of the circumstances, and I have no regrets.”
