Veteran actor Satish Kaushik who is remembered for his iconic characters like Calender from ‘Mr India’ and Pappu Pager, passed away on March 9. The actor suffered a cardiac arrest. The family held a prayer meet for the actor today evening and it was led by Kaushik’s best friend Anupam Kher who also spoke to the media about him.
Anupam wanted to hold a ceremony for Satish on March 21, but he stated today that it will be postponed to next month. He said, “We completed Satish’s prayer ceremony today but he is around us always. Every time someone smiles or laughs, we will see Satish. In the last few days, I tried finding a picture of Satish where he is not smiling but I couldn’t find. If you guys find it, please share with me. He believed in being happy and making everyone happy. I was supposed to hold a ceremony for him tomorrow, but I’ve now postponed it to next month.”

Kher further expressed that, “I would want to celebrate his life because that’s how he lived his life. I believe it’s very important that to celebrate his life. Of course, I will live with the sadness of him going away forever.”
Days after Kaushik’s death, there have been rumours that there’s foul play in his death. Kher addressed these rumours and said, “I think we should give the man a dignified exit and not make speculations. He lived a dignified life and needs a dignified exit. So, these rumours should end today along with this prayer meet.”

Several celebrities like Vidya Balan, Boney Kapoor, Javed Akhtar, Tanvi Azmi among others attended Satish Kaushik’s prayer meet today. Satish is survived by his wife Shashi and daughter Vanshika.
