Anupam Kher reveals he had asked Satish Kaushik to visit hospital 3 hours before his death; says, “'Tu bohut thaka hua sound karraha hai”

Anupam Kher held a special ceremony to honour his late buddy Satish Kaushik on the occasion of his 67th birthday. He invited a number of well-known figures from the film business, including Subhash Ghai, Shabana Azmi, Anil Kapoor, Neena Gupta, and Javed Akhtar. Vanshika, the late actor's 10-year-old daughter, and his wife Shashi were also present.

When Anupam spoke during the event about late friend Satish Kaushik, he started crying on stage. Tears were also shed by Anil Kapoor, who was seated in the crowd quietly. Anupam said, “Satish passed away but our friendship has survived all ups and downs and has seen the most amazing gift has given to us. Anil has prepared a small audio-visual for Satish, we will see that. Then I will request Anil to come and talk.” While this was going on, Anil repeatedly told that he wouldn't come on stage, to which Anupam told him, “You will have to come. No no, you have to come. That's okay. I'm also dealing with it. I can't deal with it alone.” Anupam further added, “(He was) underrated sometimes, but he was so brilliant. He never decided to market himself. He was amazing.”

Anupam said, “On the 9th, 7th he came on my birthday, he called me up, maine kaha, 'Tu bohut thaka hua sound karraha hai' (I said, ‘You sound very tired'). Kyu aesa karraha hai? Tu aesa kar hospital mein chala ja, check-in kar, don't admit yourself, go and check in'. Toh usne kaha, 'Don't worry, main abhi marne waala nahi hoon' (Why is that so? Go to the hospital and check-in. He said, 'Don't worry, I am not going to die'). And after three hours he, unfortunately, left us.”

Anupam had earlier revealed why he decided to celebrate the birthday of his friend of 48 years. He told ANI, “4-5 days ago, Satish came in my dreams and he said 'Yaar tu mere liye kuch nahi kar raha hai kya (are you not doing anythig for my birthday)?', so then I decided to celebrate Satish's life today.”

Legendary actor Satish Kaushik passed away on March 9 following a cardiac arrest, and veteran actor Anupam Kher bid a heartfelt farewell to him. Kher was the first celebrity to share the news of the demise of late actor-director Satish Kaushik.

Anupam Kher and late actor Satish Kaushik were National School of Drama (NSD) graduates and they had been friends since then.
