Kaushik Das is an Indian Australian actor who works in both English and Indian cinema. He was last seen in the award-winning Australian western, "The Furnace" starring David Wenham and Ahmed Malek which premiered at the 77th Venice Film Festival.

As a child, Kaushik witnessed the horrifying civil unrest in his mother's hometown of Dhubri in Assam, India. The horrific violence he saw as a young boy on the streets of this small town, never left him and inspired him to pursue a career in Law. Kaushik spent his college days volunteering in Legal Aid services providing advice on legal matters for those who could not access legal help. He also worked in the Criminal Courts in Queensland, Australia until one day he was ambushed by a criminal he was prosecuting. On that day, he decided to trade in the real life drama for some "reel" life drama.

Growing up on a childhood diet of Bollywood and Western films, Kaushik decided it was time for a career change and finally pursued his childhood dream of becoming an actor. His first performance as a child was that of playing the Indian Monkey God "Hanuman" in an outdoor theater in front of a packed house of more than 500 people.

In 2021 he was awarded the John Dommett Medal from his old alma mater the Australian Performing Arts Conservatory for outstanding industry achievement.

Kaushik also received a nomination for Best Performance for his performance as a Bangladeshi refugee in "ReFraction" at the Queensland Emerging Screen Talent awards held in conjunction with the Brisbane International Film Festival in 2018. He produced "ReFraction" which won Best Short Film at Delhi International Film Festival and also screened at the prestigious New York Indian Film Festival and the Kolkata International Film Festival.

Kaushik has continued to branch out into international cinema with his first bilingual Hindi-English film "Salt Bridge" having released in over 100 movie theaters across India. Here he joined a stellar cast including the likes of Rajeev Khandelwal, Usha Jadhav and Chelsie Preston Crayford. The music of "Salt Bridge" went on to be shortlisted for nominations at the 88th Academy Awards and was distributed through Indian conglomerate Zee Studios.
