MUMBAI: Actor Salim Ghouse, known for his imperial baritone and piercing eyes, passed away after a cardiac arrest on Thursday. He was 70. Ghouse's most remembered and riveting roles were on the small screen, notably in Shyam Benegal's Bharat Ek Khoj where he acted as Ram (Ramayan), Krishna (Mahabharat) and Tipu Sultan.
He was equally impressive in the 1980s serial, Subah, which dealt with drug addiction. "...a powerhouse of talent and style. His performance in Subah on DD is forever etched on my mind," posted actor Ranvir Shorey on social media.
