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).
Rohit has collaborated with Ajay on a number of films, including the "Golmaal" and 'Singham" franchises. Later, he directed Shah Rukh in "Chennai Express" and "Dilwale".
"Radhika looked just stunning in our Suminagashi Cloud dress. I was delighted she wore it for such an important occasion for her career. And I look forward to working with her and her team again in the future," Herpen said.
Rishi Kapoor has lived his Bollywood career transforming from a child actor to a top star to a character artiste. In the course of his journey, he believes he has managed to stay relevant with time because he builds his mind as an actor, and not the body.
Actor Kartik Aaryan, who is gearing up for the release of "Pati, Patni Aur Woh", says he is proud of his origins and his struggle phase in the film industry.
