Anupam Kher visits Kalighat Temple in Kolkata to pray for late actor Satish Kaushik, says, 'I prayed for my friend’s soul'

A deep sorrow has struck Anupam Kher as the veteran actor has lost his dear friend Satish Kaushik. His sudden demise shocked everyone, as the actor was doing well and even played Holi at Javed Akhtar’s party.

While his last rites and everything else have been done already, Anupam paid a visit to the holy temple of Kalighat in Kolkata to pray for the peaceful departure of his friend’s soul.

Well, Anupam Kher and Satish Kaushik were very close to each other for years, and therefore it was obvious for him to offer prayers on the late actor's behalf.

As he was in Kolkata a few days after Satish’s death, he planned to offer prayers at the city’s well-known Kalighat temple so that his friend’s soul would rest in peace.

The Kashmir Files actor posted a clip from the temple premises, in which you will see him greeting all his fans with an empathetic gesture. He wore a red kurta with a tika on his forehead and a garland around his neck.

While leaving the temple, he told people present there that he prayed for everyone, including his late friend, in front of Goddess Kali.

He stated, "I came to Kalighat Temple today to get Kali Mata’s blessings. I met devotees here and prayed for everybody, especially my friend Satish Kaushik’s departed soul."
