Anupam Kher opens on Satish Kaushik's passing

On being asked about his closest friend Satish Kaushik's passing and how he's dealing with it, Anupam Kher said, "The relationship will always remain the same. I don't have him physically with me, and I miss him deeply. He was like a part of me. We all need someone to share our achievements, frustrations, and everything in between. A true friend is someone you can tell anything to without hesitation, someone who will never judge you. And when that person leaves, it leaves a huge void."

He continued, "Even now, I find myself taking his name. Just the other day, I was going somewhere and told my driver, 'Take me to Satish ji's place.' I miss him, but that's life, I suppose. Satish's loss has left a big vaccum. It was very difficult to avoid falling into depression after losing him. It was tough. I cry a lot, and I believe the bravest thing a man can do is to cry."
