Mumbai, April 28 (IANS) Veteran stage, television and film actor Salim Ghouse -- who featured in several Bollywood and south Indian movies -- passed away following a cardiac arrest, here on Thursday.
Ghouse, 70, was rushed to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Versova late on Wednesday but did not recover, his family members said.
Born in Chennai and educated there, he later graduated from the FTII, Pune, and then plunged into theatres.
Known for his roles in "Bharat Ek Khoja", "Wagle Ki Duniya", "Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi" and "Subah", Ghouse enjoyed equal popularity in Bollywood and south India, having acted with some of the biggest stars and banners since his debut in 1978 with "Swarg Nark".
Later, he played notable roles in several award-winning films such as "Chakra" (1981), "Saaraansh" and "Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho!" (both 1984).
He was seen with Shah Rukh Khan in "Koyla", besides playing prominent roles in films like "Mujrim", "Shapath", Kamal Haasan's "Vettri Vizhaa", Mohanlal's "Thazvaram", and "Well Done Abba". He was last seen in the Tamil film "Kaa" (2022).
A remarkable thing about Raj Kapoor was that he would keep his sets intact until he was completely satisfied with every scene of a film. He did this in case he had to re-shoot a scene , or if anything needed to be added or edited.
Veteran actor Dharmendra shared a special message for his grandson Karan Deol, who is all set to make his debut in Bollywood with 'Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas'.
Actress Parineeti Chopra gave a sneak peek of her "intense" look from her upcoming film the Hindi remake of Hollywood thriller ‘The Girl On The Train’.
