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).
Bollywood actress Zareen Khan says she learnt to ignore people who bodyshame her and adds that initial failure in her career made her a stronger person.
Ever since the posters of Ashutosh Gowarikers ambitious "Panipat" were released, Internet has been buzzing with extreme reactions. While some have noted the film's lavish look, trolls and memes have been having a field day, too, with jibes at the film and its lead actor Arjun Kapoor.
Actress Deepika Padukone accidentally confirmed that her friend, actress Alia Bhatt, is all set to get married. Then, on realising what she had just said, the "Padmaavat" star said she had made it up.
According to a report in hindustantimes.com, Bobby has said Aryaman is inclined towards education for now, though someday he might want to be an actor.
Bollywood personalities paid their last respect to veteran actress Shabana Azmi's mother, late Shaukat Azmi, at a prayer meet held in her memory on Tuesday evening in Mumbai.
