“Sometime as an actor when you are given an opportunity to play the role of a renowned personality then it invites a dilemma of how to approach the role. Shall I put some of myself into it or shall I act as per what the audience has seen or read before about him. I feel so lucky to play the role of Jagjivan Ram in the ‘Emergency.’
Remembering his dear friend, Satish Kaushik., Anupam Kher wrote, “Celebrating the legacy of my friend #SatishKaushik as he transforms into Babu Jagjivan Ram in #Emergency. A legendary actor in a historic role–his brilliance will leave an impact forever.”

Actor Satish Kaushik passed away at the age of 66 last year due to a heart attack. This is not the first time Anupam Kher has remembered his dear friend.
Sharing details about the late actor and their bond after his demise, Anupam said,”Both of us hail from lower-middle-class families. We take pride in the fact that we have made a name on our own. This city, Mumbai, has given us an opportunity to excel and we have achieved that. It’s very difficult for me to deal with this loss. He was very witty. He used to take everything on a light-hearted note. People can learn from him how to live a generous life. I will always have this regret that he left us untimely. He touched people’s lives. As creative souls, and intellectuals we were always together. He was a brilliant actor.”
Meanwhile, Anupam will be next seen in the upcoming film ‘Emergency.’ It is directed by Kangana Ranaut.
