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).
The shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s new film Gangubai Kathiawadi, which he claims would be a discernible departure from his recent costume dramas, has begun in Mumbai on a set depicting a brothel.
Sara Ali Khan is not just appreciated for her acting skills, but also for her amusing sense of humour. The actor had the Internet chuckling away on Wednesday after she posted a picture flaunting her poetic skills.
Deepika Padukone broke down at the trailer launch of her upcoming film ‘Chhapaak’ on Tuesday, saying she was at a loss for words about the movie where she plays an acid attack survivor.
