The sudden demise of the well-known personality, talented actor, and filmmaker Satish Kaushik has left the Bollywood industry in shock. On the very next day after the Holi festival, he passed away after experiencing discomfort during the Holi celebration in Delhi. He was being rushed to Fortis Hospital. Despite the efforts of the doctors to save him, he suffered a cardiac arrest and couldn't be saved. Satish Kaushik was known for his iconic role as âCalendar' in the 1987 blockbuster film âMr. India'.
In a 2014 Filmfare interview, the late filmmaker Satish Kaushik shared his valuable lesson on the significance of relationships over money or success, which he learned while working with Anil Kapoor. Despite their collaboration on two unsuccessful films, âRoop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja' and âPrem', Satish Kaushik didn't hold any grudges as he realised the value of maintaining good relations in the film industry. He added that he didn't direct for a while, not because of any resentment but because he understood that Boney Kapoor and Anil Kapoor didn't have any personal motives against him.
Satish Kaushik spoke about how Anil Kapoor played a significant role in his career resurgence with the film âHum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain'. When producer D. Rama Naidu was remaking the South Indian hit film âPavithra Bandham' with Anil Kapoor and Kajol, Anil encouraged him to hire Satish Kaushik as the director, despite Naidu's initial reluctance.
Fortunately, the film was a big success, and it gave Satish Kaushik a fresh start in his career.
