We grew up seeing his film Mr. India where he played Calendar, the iconic character. And also as a director, he was a great master."

"Though I had only a few interactions with him he always had a word of encouragement for me. He admired my work in some specific Bengali films and the best moment was he always tried to say one or two Bengali words whenever he used to meet me," she added. 

"As a co-star Satishji was extremely humble and always smiling. He had a very effervescent nature truly adorable. I am deeply saddened by his demise," Rituparna further said.

Satish Kaushik completed multiple projects before his demise that are yet to be released. 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', 'Emergency', 'Guns n Gulaabs', and 'Kagaaz 2' are some of the films and series that the late actor will be seen in.
