Vetran actor-director Satish Kaushik’s last rites will be held today in Mumbai during late afternoon. Kaushik’s dead body will likely be brought back to Mumbai from Delhi at around 3 pm. Kaushik’s body was taken to Delhi’s Deendayal Upadhyay Hospital for post-mortem.
His friend and actor Anupam Kher told news agency PTI that Kaushik was at a friend’s home in Delhi when he complained of uneasiness. Kaushik was taken to the Fortis Hospital in Gurugram where the doctors tried to save him but to no avail. Kher said, “He felt uneasy and he told the driver to take him to the hospital, and on the way, he suffered a heart attack around 1 am.” He breathed his last in the early hours of Wednesday.
