Anupam Kher honours late Satish Kaushik by continuing family lunch tradition with Vanshika

Veteran actor Anupam Kher continued a cherished tradition by spending Sunday afternoon with the family of his late friend Satish Kaushik. Known for their long-standing friendship, the lunch gathering reflects the warmth and bond shared between the two Bollywood actors.

On social media, Kher shared a video featuring Kaushik’s daughter, Vanshika, where the two were seen playing tongue twisters. He wrote alongside the clip, “WE ARE BACK! As a tradition, I came to have lunch with Shashi ji and Vanshika, and after great persuasion Vanshika darling agreed to do this video. Here are a few tongue twisters. Do try them at home or anywhere with your parents, friends or siblings. Jai Ho!"

In the video, Anupam says, “It is one of our iconic scenes, Vanshika, hello to you and hello to everybody. Hello. So, I am going to ask Vanshika to say a tongue twisting line thrice, three times. Let’s see if she can do that. Lala, Gop, Gapangam, Das. Lala, Gop, Gapangam, Das. Now do it fluently." He also encouraged Vanshika to challenge him with other tongue twisters, creating light-hearted moments during the lunch.

This tradition holds deeper meaning, as it is a way for Kher to honour the memory of Satish Kaushik, who passed away from a heart attack in Gurugram in March 2023 at the age of 66. Last year, on Kaushik’s 68th birth anniversary, Kher shared a video montage recalling their time together. He wrote, “Happy Birthday my dearest #Satish! May God give you all the happiness wherever you are. For me, you are always around. In pics, in food, in conversations, when I am on my own, when I am with people. Your memory is infectious!"

Kher also shared updates about his ongoing project, #TanviTheGreat, saying, “We are on our shoot #Day34. It is going well. Touchwood. I have incorporated most of your good suggestions. Bad ones I have kept aside. I miss your physical presence, your phone calls, your cribbing, our gossip sessions, and your unbelievable sense of humour! Will always love you."

Through these moments, Anupam Kher continues to celebrate friendship and keeps Satish Kaushik’s memory alive, blending laughter, tradition, and heartfelt remembrance.
