Veteran actor-filmmaker Lalit Behl, known for featuring in acclaimed films like "Titli" and "Mukti Bhawan", passed away due to COVID-19 related complications, his son, director Kanu Behl said on Friday. The 71-year-old actor was diagnosed with COVID-19 last week and was getting treated at the Apollo hospital, where he breathed his last.

"He passed away in the afternoon. He had a



history of heart ailments and had COVID, so it got complicated. He had an infection in his lungs which got severe and that, with the previous medical history he had, complicated his health further," Kanu told PTI.

A known stage actor, Lalit began his career directing and producing Doordarshan telefilms like "Tapish", "Aatish", "Sunehri Jild" and worked on the TV show "Afsane" as an actor.
