Satish Kaushik Spent Holi With Farhan Akhtar And Ali Fazal: "Just 2 Days Ago..."

The mortal remains of Satish Kaushik will be brought to Mumbai on Thursday for final rites

Just over a day before his death, late actor-director Satish Kaushik celebrated Holi with writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar and his family in Mumbai. The party was held at Janki Kutir, Javed Akhtar's home on Tuesday, and saw Satish Kaushik interacting with several guests including Farhan Akhtar, Ali Fazal, and Richa Chadha among others. Needless to say, the veteran actor's sudden death in the morning  of Thursday has come as a shock to those who interacted with him at the party. Javed Akhtar, on Twitter, has shared an image from the Holi party in which his arm is around the late filmmaker. In a note, he said: “Satish, a man full of warmth, love and humour, was like a  brother to me since almost forty years. He was twelve years younger than me. Satish ji, it was not your turn.” Satish a man full of warmth love and humour was like a brother to me since almost forty years . He was twelve years younger than me .

Javed Akhtar's son Farhan Akhtar also shared a note looking back at the Holi celebration. In a moving condolence message, Farhan said: “Rest in peace Satish uncle. I still can't believe that you're no longer with us. Just 2 days ago we were celebrating Holi at Janki Kutir and having a laugh. And that's how I will always remember you… As a man who filled the lives of all, he met with positivity and laughter.  I always walked away from our conversations feeling good about life because that's what spending time with a good person does. It uplifts the soul. You had that effect on all who knew you and you will be terribly terribly missed. Deepest condolences to the family.”
