Satish’s friend Anupam Kher claimed that Kaushik complained of feeling uneasy while he was at a friend’s house in Delhi. Anupam Kher told PTI, “He felt uneasy and he told driver to take him to the hospital and on the way he suffered a heart attack around 1 am.”
Anupam took to Instagram and shared a picture with Satish as a tribute to the late actor-filmmaker. Sharing the post, he wrote in Hindi, “I know “death is the ultimate truth of this world!” But I never thought in my dreams that I would write this thing about my best friend #SatishKaushik while alive. Such a sudden full stop on a friendship of 45 years!! Life will NEVER be the same without you SATISH! Om Shanti!”
