Satish Kaushik complained of shortness of breath at 12 a.m. and died at 5 p.m.

In a video shared on Instagram, Neena Gupta said, “Friends aaj subha subha mai bohot buri khabar kai sath mai uthi. Iss dunia mai mujhe ek hi aadmi tha jo mujhe Nancy keh kai bulata tha aur mai usko Kaushikan. Bohot puarana sath humara… Delhi mai… college days sai sath… chahe mile naa mile. Nahi raha vo aab… it’s very scary and very sad. Uski chotti bacchi Vanshika aur uski wife Shashi unke liye bohot mushkil samein hai… kuch bhi unko chahiye mai unke sath huin. Bhagwaan unko himmat de especially Vanshika (I woke up with a very sad news. There’s only one person in the whole world who called me Nancy, and I used to call him Kaushikan. Our friendship goes back to our college days, and we’ve shared a long association, whether we met often of no. He’s no more now. It’s very scary and sad. His daughter Vanshika and his wife Shashi – it’s a very difficult time for them, and I’m always there for them if they ever need me. May God give them the strength to deal with this loss, especially, Vanshika).”
