Satish Chandra Kaushik (13 April 1956 – 9 March 2023) was an Indian actor, director, producer, comedian and screenwriter.

Early life[edit]

Satish was born on 13 April 1956 in Mahendragarh, Haryana.[3] He graduated from Kirori Mal College, Delhi in 1972.[4] He was an alumnus of National School of Drama and Film and Television Institute of India.[5]

Career[edit]

As a film actor, he was noted for his roles as "Calendar" in Mr. India,[6] as Pappu Pager in Deewana Mastana, and as "Chanu Ahmed" in Sarah Gavron's British film Brick Lane (2007). He won the Filmfare Best Comedian Award twice: in 1990 for Ram Lakhan and in 1997 for Saajan Chale Sasural.

As a theatre actor, his most noted role was that of "Willy Loman" in the Hindi-language play, Salesman Ramlal, an adaptation of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.[7]

He wrote dialogues for Kundan Shah's comedy classic Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron (1983).

His 2009 film Teree Sang, starring Ruslaan Mumtaz and Sheena Shahabadi, explores issues of teen pregnancy.[8]

His first film as a director was Sridevi's Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (1993). His second was Prem (1995), which was supposed to be Tabu's inaugural film. Both were box office disasters.[9] He continued to make films and got his first hit with Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain in 1999.

He co-wrote and anchored a TV countdown show, Philips Top Ten, for which he won the Screen Videocon Award.

In 2005, Kaushik directed Arjun Rampal, Amisha Patel and Zayed Khan in Vaada.

In 2007 Kaushik, together with Anupam Kher, who had been his batchmate at NSD, launched a new film company called Karol Bagh Productions.[10] Their first film, Teree Sang, was directed by Satish Kaushik.[11]

His next work was based on the life of Tansen, one of the Navaratna in Akbar the Great's court. It is produced by Rajshri Productions. The role of Tansen will be played by Abhishek Bachchan, and the soundtrack will be composed by Ravindra Jain. The script for the film is being finished. Satish Kaushik was working to promote Haryana's film industry, and was committed to make five films there.

He was cast in the lead role of SAB TV's new show The Great Indian Family Drama, produced by Contiloe productions, as Nawaab Jung Bahadur. He decided to make sequel of his hit movie Tere Naam (2003). He also played the role of Tayaji in the film Udta Punjab (2016).

Personal life[edit]

He was married to Shashi Kaushik in 1985.[12] His son, Shanu Kaushik died in 1996 when he was just two years old.[13] In 2012, his daughter Vanshika was born through a surrogate mother.[14]

Kaushik was a partner in the Chandigarh Film City project with the real estate company, Parsavnath developers. They bought 30-acre (12 ha) in Sarangpur Village, Chandigarh at throw-away prices. The real estate company was forced to give up this multi-million project after foul play was exposed by media.[15]

Death[edit]

He passed away at the age of 66 on 08 March 2023 in Gurgaon due to a heart attack he suffered in a car when he was visiting someone.[16] A tribute by his friend in the film fraternity, Anupam Kher, announced his death.[17][18] [19]. His Last Insta Post Was Pics of Him Celebrating [[Holi 2023] at Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi's House With Ali Fazal, Richa Chadha and Mahima Chaudhry[20]
