"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!," Kher tweeted in Hindi.
Satish began his film career in the early 1980s. As an actor, Satish is noted for his roles as 'Calendar' in Mr. India and 'Pappu Pager' in Deewana Mastana. An alumnus of National School of Drama, New Delhi and Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, Satish wrote dialogues for Kundan Shah's comedy the 1983 classic Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron. This helped him acquire a cult following over the years as a dialogue writer.
The actor was born in Haryana. Satish had won the Filmfare Best Comedian Award twice. In 1990, he won it for Ram Lakhan and seven years later again for Saajan Chale Sasural. His maiden directorial venture was headlined by Sridevi in 1993. The movie- Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja failed in the box office.
Satish's second movie Prem, also a debacle at box office, was made in 1995. Four years later, his movie Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain became financially successful. Fans recalled how the actor was playing Holi yesterday and sharing the same from his social media handle.
