Bollywood Actor Mohnish Bahl

Mohnish Bahl

Mohnish Bahl is a great actor perhaps it would be not wrong to call him a reflection of a brilliant actress of Bollywood. We all know he is son of great actress Nutan and Rajnish bahl, born on 14th August 1962 the actor has had a long and gradually developing career graph. Though he hails from a famous family as his aunt and grand mother Shobna samarth had an extraordinary place in the industry but he has made a place for himself on silver screen and small screen too.

Mohnish has acting running in his genes and hence was able to give good acts at tender age of 20 where he acted as a lost jungle boy in Teri Bahon mein. He excelled in an evil role in Ramsay production purana mandir, these roles established him as notorious character in films and bollywood announced entry of a young lean actor as typical son of a villain or third angle in a love story. He did several roles in this shade in films like Baaghi, Maine pyar Kiya(co-starring with Salman Khan, Bhagya Shree and Alok Nath), Shola aur Shabnam directed by David Dhawan(co-starring with Govinda, Gulshan Grover, Anupam Kher and Alok Nath), Deewana and eena meena deeka(co-starring with Rishi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna, Juhi Chawla, Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover, Alok Nath, Kiran Kumar and more) just to mention a few.

These were not unusual roles but gave him exposure to cinema as years passed by. The actor got recognition from Rajshri production that went against the set image and cast him in a positive role in Hum Aapke Hain kaun. This was perhaps the turning point in mohnish’s career and the break he deserved being a brilliant performer. He kept working in commercial cinema as a baddie even after his success in the positive image. The list of his performances is endless as he has worked in Bollywood in over 100 films but his image as an elder responsible brother truly made audience comment on his genes as Nutan’s son in Hum Saath Saath Hain(starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Mohnish Behl himself and Tabu and directed by directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya). And then again in Shahid Kapoor Starring film Vivah another sincere role of doctor all these performances displayed his talent in different light and Bollywood had another versatile actor with splendid acting skills. He also acted in the super hit movie "HUM AAPKE HAIN KAUN" co-starring with actors like Salman Khan, Satish Shah and Madhuri Dixit. He also acted with Amitabh Bachchan in hit movie Ek Rishtaa.

Very well settled in life with wife aarti, he loves to talk about his daughter pranutan. A sensitive actor by nature mohnish come to tears as anyone mentions his mother Nutan. At many places he has always mentioned her name and truly wished her to be there at his side being nominated in supporting actor’s role for movie hum saath saath hain. He keeps talking about her constantly and one can see his emotions in his eyes. He asserts that he was much influenced by his mother in his performance in a goody role of pure soul as calm and composed son in Hum saath saath hain. He admires the great actress for being there to support him in all through his failures and console him that he too would reach success in his career. He doesn’t even mind being called a lucky mascot of rajshri productions as they opened new prospects in his life.

The actor considers bollywood as his ambition by choice and talks excitedly about his other movie jaanwar and astitva where he got play a little different character from his typical roles. He admits that without this lucky break in barjatya’s banner he would have been in that typecast slot in Bollywood. From being a lean in his debut movie to refined character of virtues mohnish has evolved in physique and matured as an actor too. The actor candidly admits that he feels proud to be nutan’s son and feels very well satisfied to find success and do justice to her mother’s image finally. One can guess his rich taste and love for antiques at his penthouse overlooking Arabian Sea done in great taste with antiques and crystal ware. The actor now insists that he has an ambition of performing meaningful roles in his films that would count to praise and respectability that his mother enjoyed in Bollywood.

The actor is pure at heart and admits that his mother’s status in the industry had been a major supporting factor in his career and it definitely has an advantage belonging to the similar background. The actor has performed in few successful serials on small screen also like sanjivni, Ek ladki Anjanni Si, Kahaani Ghar Ghar ki and his particularly famous pairing with Shweta in Devi.

As time knows no bondage and spirits held forever, it’s their presence that is felt by the loved ones and makes the deceased memory fresh in our minds. Such is Nutan’s memory for mohnish who till date gives all credit of his success and acting to his mother-a purely gentle soul with heart of gold very much like the character he plays in Hum Saath Saath Hain.
