Satish Kaushik shared a great bond with Neena Gupta. On his demise, the actress shared a video which was dedicated to 'Kaushikan'. In the video, she can be heard saying, "woke up with very sad news. There's only one person in the whole world who called me Nancy and I used to call him Kaushikan. Our friendship goes back to our college days, and we've shared a long association, whether we met often or not."

"He's no more now. It's very scary and sad. His daughter Vanshika and his wife Sashi - it's a very difficult time for them and I'm always there for them if they ever need me. May God give them the strength to deal with this loss, especially, Vanshika," she added.
