Today (9 march 2023) early morning, the first WhatsApp message I read in my family group was about producer-director-writer-actor Satish Kaushik who breath his last on the way to a hospital in Delhi early morning following a heart attack. His funeral is likely to take place in Mumbai later in the day. Next month, he would have completed 67 years, an age when many actors have rediscovered themselves in film industries. I felt very sorry that one of the few genial faces of the Hindi film industry and an actor who regaled us through his unique style of acting and dialogue delivery was no more with us. For now, only his films will keep his memory live.
Satish Kaushik (13/04/1956 – 09/03/2023) belonged to Haryana and was trained at the National School of Drama (NSD), Delhi. He followed it with the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). I have observed through photographs that Satish Kaushik was very close to his alumni from NSD like Anupam Kher, Pankaj Kapoor, Sudhir Mishra, Neena Gupta etc.
Off hand, I think I had watched him for the first time on the screen in ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron’ (1983). Later, I watched him in ‘Maasoom’ (1983), ‘Mr India’ (1987) and some more films. I have also seen some films of him with Govinda which I have enjoyed in their joint performances due to his great timing of dialogues. Probably, I watched him for the last time on OTT platform in ‘Tehzeeb’ (2003). Besides the films, I have watched him in some episodes of TV serials like ‘Ye Jo Hai Zindagi’, and ‘Katha Sagar’. He must have acted in more than 100 films in his lifetime. Whether films or TV serials, he made his presence felt to the audience.
Satish Kaushik also directed about 15 Hindi film beginning with ‘Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja’ (1993) and produced about 6 films. He was also active in Hindi theatre.
As a tribute to the departed soul, I am presenting a song from his film, Umar’ (2006) which is picturised on him as a background song. The song is ‘Khumari chadh ke utar gayi’ which is rendered by Jagjit Singh. The song is written by Shaily Shailendra and is set to music by Shamir Tandon.

Lyrics (based on Audio Clip)
khumaari chadh ke utar gayi
zindagi yoon hi guzar gayi
khumaari chadh ke utar gayi
zindagi yoon hi guzar gayi
kabhi sote sote kabhi jaagte
khwaabon ke peechhe youn hi bhaagte
apni to saari umar gayi
apni to saari umar gayi
khumari chadh ke utar gayi
zindagi yoon hi guzar gayi
rangeen bahaaron ki khwaahish rahi
haath magar kuchh aaya nahin
rangeen bahaaron ki khwaahish rahi
haath magar kuchh aaya nahin
kehne ko apne thhe saathhi kayi
saathh kisi ne nibhaaya nahin
koi bhi hamsafar nahin
koi bhi hamsafar nahin
kho gayi har dagar kahin
kabhi sote sote kabhi jaagte
khwaabon ke peechhe yoon hi bhaagte
apni to saari umar gayi
apni to saari umar gayi
khumaari chadh ke utar gayi
zindagi yoon hi guzar gayi
logon ko aksar dekha hai
ghar ke liye rote huye
logon ko aksar dekha hai
ghar ke liye rote huye
ham to magar beghar hi rahe
gharwaalon ke hote huye
gharwaalon ke hote huye
aaya apna nazar nahin
aaya apna nazar nahin
apni jahaan tak nazar gayi
kabhi sote sote kabhi jaagte
khwaabon ke peechhe yoon hi bhaagte
apni to saari umar gayi
apni to saari umar gayi
khumaari chadh ke utar gayi
zindagi youn hi guzar gayi
pehle to ham sun lete thhe
shor mein bhi shehnaaiyaan
pehle to ham sun lete thhe
shor mein bhi shehnaaiyaan
ab to hamko lagti hai
bheed mein bhi tanhaaiyaan
jeene ki hasrat kidhar gayi
jeene ki hasrat kidhar gayi
dil ki kali bikhar gayi
kabhi sote sote kabhi jaagte
khwaabon ke peechhe yoon hi bhaagte
apni to saari umar gayi
apni toh saari umar gayi
khumaari chadh ke utar gayi
zindagi yoon hi guzar gayi
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

He is right now in front of me. I am seeing a serial that he presents on “Evergreen Classics Active” channel of my ‘Videocon D2h’. That programme “Comedy And Comedians With Satish Kaushik” pays tribute to comedians of Hindi Films starting from the 1930s.
What he says in that program may not be new to the followers of this blog, but Satish Kaushik’s style of presenting is what has kept me hooked.
Satish Kaushik’s act of Pappu Pager, Munnu Mobile, etc easily overshadowed his work as writer-producer-director. His association with Anil Kapoor gave some topical films like “Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai”; of course he was present in films made by him
“Umar”, from which today’s song is, I have seen a few times. It is a film I was impressed with not for its content but for the manner in which Prem Chopra, Kadar Khan & Satish Kaushik portray their characters. And to think that Satish Kaushik was only around 45 when he played the old Sardarji character, speaks of his calibre.
Mumbai Airport is a place where we get to see many familiar faces, and I have seen a few film actors too on my various trips in and out of Mumbai. Satish Kaushik was one of them. This was 4-5 years back. And he looked totally unrecognizable as he had lost a lot of weight. And my first thought was “is he ill?” But he seemed to have recovered to the look which the audiences loved him for.
Hats Off to the multi faceted personality. May you bring smiles on the faces you meet in your new abode
