Veteran actor-director Satish Kaushik passed away at the age of 66. Kaushik was in Delhi when he suffered a heart attack, soon after which he was taken to the hospital and declared dead. The Tere Naam director's demise is being mourned by his fans, colleagues, as well as his friends.
In a recent update, Satish Kaushik's manager revealed the actor's last words and what happened the night he died. Revealing about Kaushik's last words, the manager Santosh Rai said in a conversation with Times of India that after midnight, Satish called him to let him know that he was having trouble breathing, and they immediately went to the hospital.
Recalling the actor's last words, he told, "Santosh, please save me, I don’t want to die. I want to live for Vanshika (his daughter). Mujhe lagta hai main nahi bachunga. Shashi aur Vanshika ka khayyal rakhna."
Santosh further stated that he called actor Anupam Kher that night. He said, "I called Satishji's brothers' kids in Mumbai and told them everything. Their families reached Satish ji's residence by 2:30 am. Apparently, they informed Satish ji's wife. Also, I called Anupam Kher ji."
Santosh said, "Satish ji used to tell me if anything happens or anything is required for him, I should first call Anupam ji and Anil Kapoor ji. My call to Anupam ji went unanswered. Obviously, he must have been fast asleep. So, I informed his work-person and told him to inform Anupam ji anyhow. And, Anupam ji soon called back."
"Anupam ji and Boney Kapoor ji rushed to Satish ji's residence and they were there in just few minutes. They stayed on till the next day. Both Anupam and Boney were very, very close to Satish ji," he further noted.
