In the last four decades, Satish Kaushik has some memorable roles to his credit including Pappu Pager in Govinda starrer Deewana Mastana, Calender in the iconic Anil Kapoor-Sridevi film Mr.India, the funny Kashi Ram in Ram Lakhan and many more. He started his career as an assistant director to Shekhar Kapur on the sets of Masoom in 1983. Kapur has, in fact, taken note of Satish Kaushik's tweet and shared an anecdote from their shoot.
Remember, Satish, when you were assisting me on Masoom, you asked that if I had to shout at anyone, I should shout at you? Why I asked. Will never forget your reply.

Kaushik's close friend and veteran actor Anupam Kher also congratulated him for completing 41 years in Mumbai. He wrote, "Happy 41st anniversary of coming to #Mumbai! Your rising graph here must have given hope to thousands of people. You really worked hard and reached a position that you are in today. Congratulations and well done. Abhi to party shuru hui hai. Jai Ho!".
Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has also extended her best wishes to the veteran actor on the occasion with a sweet note for him. She spoke about the difference between matrubhoomi (motherland) and karmabhoomi (place of labour) and congratulated Kaushik. She claimed that very few people are blessed by the Gods.
मातृभूमि और कर्मभूमि में वही अंतर है जो माँ देवकी और माँ यशोधा में था। आपको ढेर सारी बधाई सतीश जी। बहुत कम लोगों को बहुत सारी माताओं का प्यार और आशीर्वाद मिलता है- कंगना 🥰🙏 https://t.co/PzSHFFkklh
