Veteran actor Satish Kaushik, who passed away last month after suffering from a heart attack, would have turned 67 yesterday. To mark the late actor’s death anniversary, Satish Kaushik’s friends and family celebrated the actor’s legacy in a special event.
The event was attended by several friends of Satish Kaushik’s from the industry, including Anil Kapoor, Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta. Sharing a special video from the event, Anupam Kher took to his Instagram account to post a video of Satish Kaushik’s daughter reciting a special poem for her father.
The caption of the video read, “On the death of my friend #SatishKaushik 11 year old daughter of #सतीश gave me a closed envelope by saying that please put it on my father's pyre without opening it. And that’s what I did. But I also asked her to take a picture of the letter. Yesterday when we celebrated #Satish’s 67th birthday, many people sang beautifully and spoke about their wonderful association with #Satish with amazing love for him. But what broke everybody’s heart into pieces was when #Vanshika readout the same letter aloud to her dearest #Papa to all the people present. Your heart will break too listening to this #LoveLetter #LongLiveSatish #Daughter #ShashiKaushik.” Watch:

Will hold her pain in my heart and pray to turn it to blessings for her.” Actor Aarti Nagpal wrote, “My heart shattered into uncountable pieces.
