• Satish Kaushik died at 67 in Delhi following a heart attack, and his friends from Bollywood gathered to meet his family.
• He was known for his close bond with Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta.
• He had once offered marriage to Neena in her time of need.

Anupam Kher, an actor and Satish Kaushik’s friend, shared the news on Twitter on March 9 after Satish Kaushik passed away in Delhi at the age of 67 after a heart attack. Javed Akhtar, a lyricist, and other Satish’s Bollywood colleagues visited the late actor-Bombay filmmaker’s home to meet his family. A number of celebrities, including Anupam Kher, Anil Kapoor, and many others, were known to have a strong relationship and connection with the late actor. In an earlier interview, Satish had recounted how he had offered marriage to ‘best friend’ Neena Gupta ‘in her hour of need’.

Neena said in her autobiography published in June 2021 that Satish Kaushik had proposed marriage to her and reassured her that she wouldn’t have to worry if her unborn kid had dark skin: “Just say it’s mine, and we’ll get married. Nobody will have any suspicions. Satish Kaushik claimed to have known Neena since 1975 and to have had a close friendship with her when he spoke to the Bombay Times in 2021. He claimed that his desire to marry her stemmed from his friendship with her.

“I used to respect a girl’s decision to bear an unmarried child at that time. I simply supported her and gave her confidence since I am a good friend. It was all an indication of my love for her as a friend, no matter what you read in the memoir. I was anxious to keep her from feeling isolated. That is ultimately what friends are for, right? I proposed to marry her out of humor, compassion, respect, and support for my closest friend at a difficult moment, as is mentioned in the book,” Satish had said in the interview.

Neena Gupta expressed her sorrow over Satish Kaushik, a co-star in the movie Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron, passing away on Thursday. She released an emotional video on Instagram in which she spoke about ‘waking up to a really tragic news’. In Hindi, she uttered, “I used to call him Kaushikan, and he was the only one in the entire world who called me Nancy. No matter how frequently we met or not, our friendship dates back to our time in college. He is no longer here. It’s terribly sad and frightful.”
