In an interview with Times of India, Santosh Rai opened up about what happened on that day and how he started to complain of breathlessness at about 12am in the morning. In the same breath, he also remembered what Satish had to say while being admitted to the hospital. He had said, ‘Santosh, please save me, I don’t want to die. I want to live for Vanshika. Mujhe lagta hai main nahi bachunga. Shashi aur Vanshika ka khayyal rakhna. (I don’t think I will survive. Take care of Vanshika and Shashi).'

Santosh Rai further went on to add how he called Anupam ji and Boney Kapoor ji on the same night at around 2:30am. He added, “I called Satishji's brothers' kids in Mumbai and told them everything. Their families reached Satish ji's residence by 2:30 am. Apparently, they informed Satish ji's wife. Also, I called Anupam Kher ji. Satish ji used to tell me if anything happens or anything is required for him, I should first call Anupam ji and Anil Kapoor ji. My call to Anupam ji went unanswered. Obviously, he must have been fast asleep. So, I informed his work-person and told him to inform Anupam ji anyhow. And, Anupam ji soon called back. Anupam ji and Boney Kapoor ji rushed to Satish ji's residence and they were there in just few minutes. They stayed on till the next day. Both Anupam and Boney were very, very close to Satish ji.”

Readers would recall that Anupam Kher was the one who broke the news on social media by sharing a heartfelt note on Satish Kaushik’s sudden demise.
