Anupam Kher had a 45 year old friendship with Satish Kaushik. Both were together in NSD as well and later started their career together. Anupam Kher and Satish Kaushik used to call each other everyday at 8 or 8.30 pm and chat. Now that Satish Kaushik is no more, Anupam Kher does not understand how to recover from this loss. How to convince yourself that the friend has now left them alone. Anupam Kher shared a video on his Instagram account, in which he told about Satish Kaushik and his relationship.
Anupam Kher cried – since he has been gone….
Anupam Kher told how everything is getting difficult for him after Satish’s departure. He begins and says, ‘I am talking to you guys because I am deeply saddened to lose my friend Satish Kaushik and it is killing me because a friendship of 45 years runs deep. It becomes a habit. A habit you don’t want to quit. And ever since he has gone, sometimes… like today I was thinking that where should I eat, what food should I eat. Then I said that hey, I will call Satish. I picked up the phone and was about to dial her number when I remembered…very difficult for me because 45 years is a long time to be with someone. We both had dreams together. We both started life together, from the National School of Drama. In July 1975. After that we used to sit together. He was a day scholar and I was a hosteller. Then sit and eat at his house. Then he came to Bombay first, I came later. Then we worked very hard, reached this stage and achieved success.

‘We used to get jealous, used to fight but used to call every night at 8 o’clock’
In the video, Anupam Kher got lost in more deep memories of Satish while telling and further said, ‘We both used to be jealous of each other, used to rot, used to quarrel, but used to call each other every morning at 8 or 8:30. Used to do So I was not interested in anything since yesterday, then I thought what should I do? I have to move on. I moved on when my father passed away. When we lose someone or someone walks out of our lives, we have to move on. Life also teaches us this and this is what we have to learn. So I thought that if I share with you all what I am thinking in my mind, then I will be able to feel better. As soon as he said this, Anupam Kher’s throat got choked and he started crying.
‘Satish Kaushik, you will always be in my heart’
Then he collected himself and said, ‘I want to move on. It means that I will never be able to forget this loss, but life has to move forward, doesn’t it? So it is important that I move forward with life and do things that make her happy. It’s hard, but I try, guys. He will be very happy. That was great. There was a lot of strength in him. He was a friend of friends. Life must go on. So let’s take it forward and I will take this chapter to my heart and try to make him happy because he would want me to be happy. My dear friend Satish Kaushik, you will always be in my heart.
