A brief biography

Bella Jaisinghani, April 29, 2022: The Times of India

Actor Salim Ghouse was known for his imperial baritone and piercing eyes.

Ghouse's most remembered and riveting roles happened 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.

Born in Chennai to a Kerala Christian mother and a Hyderabadi Muslim father, Ghouse graduated from FTII Pune before making his way to Mumbai. He made a name for himself in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinema as well.

Ghouse was vastly underutilised in the world of Hindi films. He was always the actor you wanted to see more of. Those who watched him in 'Manthan', 'Kalyug', 'Chakra', 'Saaransh', 'Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho', 'Trikaal', 'Drohi', 'Koyla', 'Soldier', 'Indian' and 'Well Done Abba' know that he deserved bigger and better roles. He was downright menacing as the villain in the Govinda-starrer 'Maharaja'. Ghouse also played a senior Left-ideologue in 'Aghaat'. He delivered one of the film's most telling lines. "Warg sangharsh koi chai party nahi hai (Class struggle is no tea party)." The multi-talented artiste also choreographed a mask dance sequence in the Govind Nihalani film.
