The actor had said, “The reason, today, I am here talking to you guys is because I need to overcome the sense of loss of my friend Satish Kaushik… It’s killing me. Our friendship was deep. After so many years, it becomes a habit which you never want to lose. It’s tough because 45 years is quite a bit of time to be with somebody.”

He added, “Right now, I am unable to concentrate. But as they say, you have to move on and I will have to do that too. This is what life teaches us.” Sharing the video message on Instagram, Anupam wrote, “Letter to my friend!! My dearest Satish Kaushik. You will always be part of my life…But I need to move on… In order to keep your memory alive.”

Satish Kaushik is survived by his wife and daughter.
