9th March, Mumbai: On the demise of the veteran Actor- Film maker died due to cardiac arrest on Wednesday in Gurugram. At the age of 66, Bollywood actor Satish Kaushik passed away on Wednesday. Anupam Kher, a friend and veteran actor in Bollywood, confirmed his death. He graduated from the National School of Theatre and the Indian Cinema and Television Institute, and he started his career in theatre before moving on to the big screen.
Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, directed by Kundan Shah and starring Naseeruddin Shah, Ravi Baswani, and Neena Gupta, is one of his earliest films that has endured the best. Neena Gupta discussed her long association with Kaushik in her autobiography Sach Kahun Toh, which was published a few years ago. She also said that Kaushik advised her to pass the child off as his after getting married when she fell pregnant with cricketer Viv Richards’ child. During that time, Neena was single and worried about criticism for becoming a parent. Don’t worry, you can just pretend the child is mine and we’ll be married if it has dark complexion, he assured her. Nobody will have any suspicions. In a brief interview that followed, Kaushik discussed the incident and revealed that he and Neena had been friends since 1975 and that only a select few were aware of her pregnancy.
He claimed he offered to help so as to prevent her from being alone. He stated to Bombay Times, “I was worried about making sure she didn’t feel lonely. Friends are for that, right? At the end of the day. He claimed that he told her, “Main hoon na, tu chinta kyu karti hai?” before making his proposal to marry her. After that, their bond only got stronger, according to Kaushik. The actor had spent Holi at Javed Akhtar’s home with a number of well-known Bollywood figures hours before his passing. He will be included in the historical drama Emergency after his passing.
In Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency, Kaushik, who has played a number of memorable comic characters during his career, will make his final appearance on the big screen. In the historical drama centred around the tumultuous years of India’s Emergency in 1975–1976, when Indira Gandhi served as Prime Minister, he played the late Defense Minister Jagjivan Ram. Jagjivan Ram also fought for freedom.
Last but not least…,” was the caption under which Kangana had made the announcement. He was one of the most admired leaders in Indian political history, and Emergency featured the powerhouse of talent Satish Kaushik as Jagjivan Ram. “Honoured to essay the character of Jagjivan Ram popularly known as Babuji, the most compassionate and the crusader of social justice in Kangana Ranaut directedorial Emergency,” said Kaushik at the time on Instagram.
Kaushik previously admitted to Indian Express that he immediately became typecast in comedy but over time developed his own diversity. “We are the ones who invented concepts like “villains” and “negative roles. Actually, the character you play is important.He has a good sense of humor and play the role of the antagonist. Because of this, we occasionally come across gangsters that have unique personalities. Today, it’s about playing a quirky, possibly ruthless character,” he had stated.
