New Delhi: On Thursday morning, March 9, actor and director Satish Kaushik passed away after a heart attack at the age of 66. He was a loving son, a treasured friend, and an iconic figure who had a profound impact on the lives of many others. His unexpected demise has left the world in misery.
About her private life, Satish got married to Shashi Kaushik in 1985. Do you know, though, that Satish had a son who tragically passed away when he was just two years old? In an earlier interview, Satish revealed some intimate details about his life, including the death of his first child.
Satish Kaushik once spoke with the Lucknow Times about the death of his son, Shanu Kaushik, and how he was unable to grieve. The star of Hindi cinema said that he was at the pinnacle of his career when the tragedy struck, but that he was unable to deal with it at the time due to the demands of his job. The actor explained how he had become more relaxed after cutting down on his partying.
Satish Kaushik said, “I avoid going to parties now, I have become calmer. I even control my diet and drinking because of her. I had lost my son 20 years back, when I was at the peak of my career. I couldn’t really get time to even feel that loss. I used to be continuously busy with work and this would make me feel guilty: I didn’t even have the time to mourn my son’s death.”
Baby Vanshika Kaushik was born to Satish and Shashi via a surrogate in 2012.
The actor also said that he had undergone significant personal growth with the birth of his daughter. He said, “Ab Vanshika ke aane se sab baraabar ho gaya. All the unsettled emotions are somewhere settled with Vanshika’s arrival.”
A well-known face in Bollywood, Satish Kaushik had a notable career as an actor, filmmaker, comedian and screenwriter. Many Bollywood personalities have paid tributes to the multifaceted artiste after learning about the news of his demise.
