Satish Kaushik, a noted actor and director, died on Wednesday in Gurugram at the age of 66. Anupam Kher, a friend and colleague, confirmed the news of his death in his tweet. After having a heart attack in the NCR, Satish Kaushik passed away. As Kaushik’s health deteriorated when he was visiting a friend in Gurugram, he asked his driver to drive him to the hospital. He couldn’t be saved, though, because he had a heart attack in the car.
On Thursday, his body was brought from the Fortis hospital in Gurugram to the Deen Dayal Upadhyay hospital in Delhi for post-mortem. Following today’s post-mortem, his mortal remains will be flown to his residence in Mumbai. Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut, and Sharad Kelkar, among many others, expressed their condolences on his demise.
Kher wrote in his tribute, “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!”
