Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur on Friday took to his Instagram handle and penned an emotional note for actor-filmmaker Satish Kaushik, who passed away on Wednesday. Kaushik, 66, suffered a cardiac arrest while he was in Gurugram. The funeral, which was held on Thursday in Mumbai, was attended by his family, friends and Bollywood celebrities.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Kapur posted a picture of Kaushik and penned a long emotional note. He wrote, “Mumbai was flooded. I barely made it to the airport to catch my flight. A young man walked up to me as I was waiting in the line to check in. Completely wet. I had seen him before. Always outside my office .. with a smile on his face to say hello. Amongst many others. I would smile back.”

“I came here because I knew you would not be surrounded by others. My area was flooded and I had to practically swim to get here .. I want to be your assistant director. How could I say no? That’s how our journey started. From 3rd assistant director, to chief assistant to associate director,” the filmmaker continued.

Shekhar concluded by writing, “Satish became part of my family. Lived with me. Like a brother .. acted in my films .. and then as he became a director on his own .. Satish went off into the world to explore new horizons. . The love never went away .. Always intending to get back together. Am still coming to terms with Satish’s passing .. there’s a finality of his passing I am unwilling to accept .. for our story was still unfinished .. is still unfinished. For the story of love does not end, it transforms, it teaches, it explores, it breaks your heart, but you are. Because love is..”

Shekhar Kapur collaborated with Satish Kaushik on two films – Mr India and Masoom.
