In Satish Kaushik, Haryana artistes saw an ‘elder brother’

Rohtak: In the demise of Bollywood actor-director Satish Kaushik, Haryanvi artistes have lost a elder “brother” who never hesitated in promoting them. Kaushik, 66, hailed from Haryana's Danonda village in Mahendergarh district. He was also appointed chairman of Haryana Film Promotion Board.
Remembering his association with Kaushik, actor Yashpal Sharma, who hails from Hisar district, said he had met him four days ago and discussed multiple projects in Haryana. “Kaushik had praised my work in ‘Dada Lakhmi Chand’ and appreciated ‘College Kand’ webseries,” Sharma said, adding that even after attaining great heights, he was attached to his roots.
Sharma worked with Kaushik in the film 'Road' in 2009. Haryanvi entertainer Jagbir Rathi also remembered his association with Kaushik. “He was a true son-of-the-soil, who would never hesitate in promoting local talent," Rathi added.
Vishavdeep Trikha, senior artist from Haryana, said Kaushik had been promoting Haryanvi film industry for long. “I worked with him in 'Chhoriya Chhoro se Kam Nahi' and found him to be like an elder brother,” he added.
