Remembering actor-director Satish Kaushik and his cheerful personality, veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar took to Twitter, posting an emotional note. "Mehfilen ko jagata tha jo..Doston ko hansata tha jo... Aaj uss ko yeh kya hoga ya hai shaam hotay hi eik aag ki chaadar odhay hue so gaya hai," Akhtar tweeted.

Kaushik attended a Holi bash thrown by Akhtar and his actor-wife Shabana Azmi at their Mumbai residence just a day before his death. Akhtar tweeted these lines after attending the last rites of Kaushik, who passed away in Gurugram on Thursday at the age of 66. He died after suffering a cardiac arrest.
