Mohnish Bahl (born 14 August 1961)[1] is an Indian actor working in the Indian film industry and on Indian television.

Career[edit | edit source]

Mohnish Bahl debuted with the film Bekarar[2] in a supporting role opposite Padmini Kolhapure and Sanjay Dutt but the film was a critical and commercial failure. His subsequent release was Teri Bahon Mein, a remake of The Blue Lagoon with Ayesha Dutt, wife of Jackie Shroff, which was also a failure.[3] His only commercial success in a leading role was Purana Mandir though it was considered a B grade film.[4] The films Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Hum Saath-Saath Hain are considered landmark films that transformed Bahl's career.[4] He has starred in over 100 films, and has been nominated for two Filmfare Awards.

Early life and family[edit | edit source]

Bahl was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. He is the only son of noted actress Nutan and Lt. Cdr. Rajnish Bahl,[5] and is a prominent member of the Mukherjee-Samarth family.

He married actress Aarti Bahl on 23 April 1992 and they have two children: actress Pranutan Bahl and Krishaa Bahl.[6]
