Mohnish Bahl, a well-known name in Bollywood, has left a lasting impression with his versatile acting, especially during the 1990s. Known for his powerful villain roles and supporting characters, Mohnish has also been a beloved figure in Indian television. Today, on his birthday, fans remember his prolific career and wonder where he stands now after a long break from films.
Mohnish, son of the late actress Nutan, began his acting journey in 1983 with the film Beqarar, which didn’t do well commercially. His early recognition came with the 1984 horror film Purana Mandir. However, his breakthrough came in 1989 with the hit Maine Pyar Kiya, where he portrayed the villain Jeevan—a role that continues to be remembered fondly.
Over the years, Mohnish won hearts with roles showcasing different facets, from the cultured elder brother Vivek in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994) and Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999), to memorable parts in films like Raja Hindustani, Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, LOC Kargil, and Jai Ho. On television, his performances in shows such as Sanjeevani, Dil Mil Gaye, Kuch To Log Kahenge, and Devi were highly appreciated.
Mohnish’s last film outing was in 2019 with Panipat. Since then, he has been away from the silver screen, choosing to live a peaceful life with his family while awaiting compelling and meaningful roles that inspire him to return.
In summary, while Mohnish Bahl hasn’t acted in films for the past six years, he remains a respected actor cherished by both film and TV audiences. Today, on his birthday, fans continue to celebrate his legacy and hope to see him on screen again soon.
