Anil Kapoor says Satish Kaushik was the twin he never had: ‘Agar mera koi judwa bhai ban sakta hai, to wo sirf Satish tha’ | Hindi Movie News

Anil Kapoor opened up about his deep friendship with the late actor-filmmaker Satish Kaushik on ‘India Ke Top 1% – The Anil Kapoor Show’. He said their relationship was far more than a professional one, built on a bond that went well beyond the work they did together.

Gagan’s resemblance to Satish Kaushik moves Anil Kapoor

The moment came on ‘India Ke Top 1% – The Anil Kapoor Show’, hosted by Kapoor, when contestant Gagan spoke about how often people tell him he looks like Satish Kaushik. The resemblance had already caught the host’s eye. Gagan went on to share that he once met Kaushik in Delhi while the actor was shooting for the TV show ‘Sumit Sambhal Lega’, which led Kapoor to look back on fond memories of his friend.Looking back on their friendship, Anil Kapoor said, “My bond with him, I cannot explain. Even if this shoot were 70 minutes long, it would not be enough to tell his stories. He used to tell me, ‘Tera talent lajawab hai.’” He also shared that he affectionately addressed Kaushik as ‘Danny DeVito’. Both men were fans of the film ‘Twins’ and often daydreamed about starring together as twin brothers.
