Reportedly, Kaushik passed away at the age of 66 years due to cardiac arrest on Wednesday late night.

The actor reportedly fell sick at a friend's place in Delhi, where he came for the Holi celebration on Wednesday.

"I had brought him to the hospital. He slept at 10.30 pm and called me at 12.10 am, complaining of breathlessness," said Santosh Rai, manager of Satish Kaushik.
