Bharat Ek Khoj actor Salim Ghouse passes away at 70 due to cardiac arrest

Veteran actor Salim Ghouse , known for his performances in TV shows like “ _Bharat Ek Khoj_ ” as well as films such as “Sardari Begum” and “Soldier”, died Thursday morning following a cardiac arrest. He was 70. According to a source close to the actor’s family, Ghouse complained of chest pain on Wednesday night and was rushed to the city-based Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. “We took him to the hospital as he was not feeling well. He passed away this morning,” the family member said. Ghouse made his feature film debut in an unnamed role of a student in 1978’s “Swarg Narak”. He later starred in films such as Shyam Benegal’s “Manthan”, “Kalyug”, “Sardari Begum”, as well as Mahesh Bhatt ’s “ _Saaransh_ ” and “Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho!” by Saeed Akhtar Mirza. As an actor, he received wide acclaim with the 1987 popular TV show “Subah”. An FTII graduate, Ghouse also featured in Benegal ’s “Bharat Ek Khoj”, in which he played the roles of Rama, Krishna, and Tipu Sultan over the many episode-run of the acclaimed 1988 TV series.
