'''Lokesh Ghosh''' is an Indian [[Bengali people|Bengali]] actor who is known for his work in Bengali cinema.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-07-27 |title=ফ্ল্যাটে ডেকে এনে মত্ত অবস্থায় মহিলাকে মারধরের অভিযোগ লোকেশ ঘোষের বিরুদ্ধে |url=https://bengali.news18.com/news/entertainment/gossip-tollywood-actor-lokesh-ghosh-accused-of-molestation-and-assault-a-woman-evading-police-ah-348994.html |access-date=2023-03-27 |website=News18 Bengali |language=bn}}</ref> Ghosh was born and brought up in [[Mumbai]]. He began his acting career doing small roles in [[Bollywood]]. Ghosh got his break through in the Bengali film industry with [[Anjan Choudhury]]'s 1996 political drama [[Mukhyamantri (film)|Mukhyamantri]], where he played the role of Ashok, the momentarily spoilt son of the protagonist Bimal Chowdhury ([[Ranjit Mallick]]). He was simultaneously cast in Choudhury's other venture of the year ''Nach Nagini Nach Re'' where he played the role of Rajat opposite Anjan Choudhury's daughter [[Chumki Chowdhury]]. With the massive success of both films, Ghosh became a frequent face in Choudhury's movies like ''Boro Bou'' (1997), ''Sriman Bhootnath'' (1997), [[Jibon Niye Khela|Jiban Niye Khela]] (1999), ''Gunda'' (1999), ''Rakhi Purnima'' (2001) and so on. Remaining under Choudhury's wing, he featured in a number of successful collaborations with director [[Bablu Samaddar]]; like, [[Loafer (1996 film)|Loafer]] (1996) ''Asol Nokol'' (1998) and ''Neoti'' (1999). Around early 2000s, Ghosh appeared in a number of films directed by [[Swapan Saha]] like ''Sneher Pratidan'' (2003), [[Sabuj Saathi]] (2003) and [[Kartabya]] (2003), most of which starred [[Prosenjit Chatterjee]] in the lead.

==Personal life==

Lokesh Ghosh was born to Producer [[Debesh Ghosh]] and actress Ranjana Bannerjee.<ref>{{Citation |title='বাবার কোটি কোটি টাকার সম্পত্তি দিদি কৌশলে নিজের নামে লিখিয়ে নিয়েছিল! আমি এক পয়সাও পাইনি!' – Lokesh |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUD4PC8chPY |access-date=2024-03-14 |language=en}}</ref> His father was a big name in both Bengali and Hindi film industries and worked with a number of big names like Amitabh Bachhan, Uttam Kumar, Rekha, Sharmila Tagore and Sanjeev Kumar.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Debesh Ghosh – Biography |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0315886/bio/ |access-date=2024-03-14 |website=IMDb |language=en-US}}</ref> His mother is known for her notable contributions in Bengali films like ''Headmaster'', [[Atal Jaler Ahwan]] and [[Hansuli Banker Upakatha (film)|Hansuli Banker Upakatha]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ranjana Bannerjee {{!}} Actress |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1531057/ |access-date=2024-03-14 |website=IMDb |language=en-US}}</ref> Ghosh studied in [[St. Paul's School, Darjeeling|St. Paul's School]], Darjeeling and [[St. Xavier's College, Kolkata|St. Xavier's College]], Kolkata, following which he travelled to [[Mumbai]] where he began his early ventures in the field of acting.

Lokesh Ghosh married his co-star [[Chumki Chowdhury]] with whom he has a daughter. However, the couple divorced around 2001. The reason of their divorce is rumoured to be Ghosh' rampant behaviour and addiction to alcohol.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-01-14 |title=মদ্যপ অবস্থায় পরিচালক অঞ্জন চৌধুরীর মেয়ে চুমকি চৌধুরীর গায়ে হাত তুলেছিলেন জনপ্রিয় অভিনেতা লোকেশ ঘোষ, নিজের ভুলেই কেরিয়ার শেষ হয়ে যায় এই সুপারস্টার অভিনেতার |url=https://www.kolkatajournal.com/story/popular-actor-lokesh-ghosh-laid-hands-on-director-anjan-chowdhurys-daughter-chumki-chowdhury-while-intoxicated-shocking-information-came-up-11274 |access-date=2024-03-14 |website=Kolkata Journal |language=en-US}}</ref> Ghosh' career went downhill with the separation, thus, detaching him from the ventures of his father-in-law [[Anjan Choudhury]]. With his father's death in 2004, Ghosh travelled to Mumbai and dissociated himself from the industry for a significant amount of time. In his interview with ''Tolly Time'' in 2023, Ghosh blamed his own impulsive decisions and unexpected betrayals as the reason for his current inconvenience and his gradual detachment from the film industry.<ref>{{Citation |title='বাবার কোটি কোটি টাকার সম্পত্তি দিদি কৌশলে নিজের নামে লিখিয়ে নিয়েছিল! আমি এক পয়সাও পাইনি!' – Lokesh |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUD4PC8chPY |access-date=2024-03-14 |language=en}}</ref>
