According to a report by the Hindustan Times, the veteran actor suffered a heart attack when he was in Delhi. Kaushik’s close friend, actor Anupam Kher told the media that Satish was at a friend’s home in Delhi when he complained of uneasiness.
“He felt uneasy and he told driver to take him to the hospital and on the way he suffered a heart attack around 1 am.”
