Family members and friends bid a tearful adieu to actor Satish Kaushik, who passed away following a heart attack, on Thursday. The last rites of the multi-faceted artiste were held at the Versova crematorium here around 8.30 pm in the presence of his family members and close friends, including actor Anupam Kher and director Ashok Pandit.


Kaushik, 66, died while he was on his way to a Gurugram hospital in the early hours of Thursday.


Kher told PTI that Kaushik was at a friend's home in Delhi to celebrate Holi when he began to feel uneasy. "He told his driver to take him to the hospital... he suffered a heart attack around 1 am on the way," he said.


Following a post-mortem at Delhi's Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, the actor's body was flown to Mumbai and taken to his residence in Mumbai's Versova locality at around 6.30 pm.
