Meanwhile, Anupam Kher, in an interview with ANI, opened up on why he decided to celebrate Satish Kaushik’s birth anniversary. He said, “Rather than mourning about someone’s death, we should celebrate their life. About 11 years ago, my father died and my parents were married for 59 years, then I planned to celebrate my father’s life, so that my mother can spend rest of her life happily. That way this ritual started. Satish and I have been friends for almost 48 years and will continue to be.”

Revealing the details about how they celebrated Satish Kaushik’s birth anniversary, Anupam Kher said, “Today I am thankful to the people coming and talking about him fondly. So that we can remember him. In fact it was very funny that I had earlier decided that let me not do it because I was too sad and still mourning his death. 4 to 5 days ago, Satish came in my dreams and he said ‘Yaar tu mere liye kuch nahi kar raha hai kya? (Are you not planning anything for me?)’, so then I decided to celebrate Satish’s life today.”
