Close friend and veteran actor Rakesh Bedi remembers Satish Kaushik for his hearty laugh and said, "he would laugh the loudest at his own jokes." Actor-filmmaker Satish Kaushik passed away following a heart attack on Thursday morning. 

Bedi told mid-day.com, "This was the first news I heard in the morning and it came as a huge shock. Anupam (Kher) is a close friend so I immediately called him up and he confirmed it was true. We had been friends and colleagues for 43-44 years and worked on so many projects. I've worked on so many films in which he was a co-actor and in others which he directed. We would keep meeting off and on, he would come to watch all my plays. It's a great loss for the fraternity."
