Anil Kapoor shared several throwback pictures on his Instagram account featuring himself, Kaushik, and fellow actor Anupam Kher. In the caption, he expressed his sadness at the loss of such a talented actor and director, calling Kaushik his “younger brother.” Kapoor also acknowledged Kaushik’s contribution to the success of “Mr. India,” in which he played the memorable character of “Calendar.”

His ability to connect with people on a personal level was one of the many qualities that made him stand out in the industry.
Born in Delhi in 1956, Kaushik began his career in theatre before transitioning to Bollywood. He quickly made a name for himself with his excellent acting skills and went on to star in several successful films, including “Ram Lakhan,” “Saajan Chale Sasural,” and “Judwaa.” He also directed hit movies like “Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja,” “Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai,” and “Tere Naam.”
