Satish Kaushik News: From Theatre And Films To TV And OTT, He Made Every Medium His Own

The multi-hyphenate artiste walked the parallel, experimental road in his acting but mostly stuck to mainstream populist cinema in his productions and direction with his range of films including “Tere Naam” and “Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai”.

Kaushik earned his comic actor stripes early in his film career with the memorable role of Calendar the cook in the 1988 film “Mr India”. He was so loved in that role that there was a time he was only offered comic roles.

The names were many and catchy – besides Calendar was Pappu Pager from "Deewana Mastana", Airport in "Swarg", Panipuri Sharma in "Andaz", Harpal 'Happy' Singh in "Pardesi Babu", Sharafat Ali in "Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan", and German in "Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain".

Kaushik was often known as the master of improvisation – and not just as an actor. Let's take some time to revisit the veteran artist's prolific career. Read more here
