Here's
another
heartbreaking
news
coming
in
from
the
world
of
showbiz.
Veteran
actor-director
Lalit
Behl
breathed
his
last
due
to
COVID-19
complications
on
Friday
(April
23,
2021).
He
was
diagnosed
with
the
virus
last
week
and
was
undergoing
medical
treatment
for
the
same
at
Apollo
hospital
in
Delhi.
Lalit's
son,
filmmaker
Kanu
Behl
who
helmed
Titli,
told
PTI,
"He
passed
away
in
the
afternoon.
He
had
a
history
of
heart
ailments
and
had
COVID-19,
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."
After

Lalit's
demise
surfaced
in
media,
many
celebrities
took
to
their
respective
Twitter
handles

worked
with
Lalit
in
the
2016
film

Bhawan,
said
that
he
was
extremely
saddened
by
