When Govinda shared Satish Kaushik didn't take money for several films
Govinda and Satish Kaushik together had an iconic partnership for several films like Saajan Chale Sasural, Rajaji, Kyo Kii... Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Had Kar Di Aapne, and more. After Satish took his last breath last year, Govinda recalled memories with him and shared how he was a gem of a person who didn't charge his acting fees for so many films.
During an interview with The Times of India, Govinda said, “Satish was extremely thoughtful and kind. We last met on the set of Indian Idol. He was passionate about his craft. He worked in several films for free. He played a character in Aunty No 1 and didn’t want to charge a penny. We had to convince him to take the money. Dildaar insaan tha. (He was a big-hearted man). I pray for his family.”
Recalling his 25-year-long relationship with Satish, Govinda shared, “I have known him for the last 25 years. We worked together several times, and every film was a super hit. His comic timing and the efforts he took to write his lines were admirable. Even at a sad time like this, the characters he essayed bring a smile to your face. That was his achievement as an actor.”
