He continues to act in Hindi films and on television.

The accidental death of Pooja lead to a character arc for Prem where the decision he made separates him and Nisha at the most crucial sacrifice, that will act as separation point in much of second half. Already an active character actor in Hindi films, Behl had a fairly substantial role that pushed him further into mature family and supporting parts. He went on to be best known for television (most notably Sanjivani) but he also continued acting in films. Other notable credits included Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Saath-Saath Hain and Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, as well many television serials.
