Anupam was seen walking along with Satish's wife Shashi Kaushik, holding her daughter Vanshika's hand at the prayer meet. He later talked to the reporters and said, "I think we should give the man a dignified exit and not make these speculations, because he lived a dignified life. He needs a dignified exit. All these rumours should end today with this pooja."

Many other Bollywood celebrities also attended the prayer meet. Among them were Boney Kapoor, Gulshan Grover, Vivek Agnihotri, Javed Akhtar, Jackie Shroff, and Vidya Balan.

Satish Kaushik died from cardiac arrest hours after the Holi celebrations on March 8 in Delhi. The post-mortem report of the veteran actor and filmmaker confirmed that his sudden demise was caused by a heart attack. Just a month before his death, he had told Hindustan Times in an interview, “In order to keep doing good work, you need to keep yourself updated, reinvented and relevant. That can only happen if you look after yourself. I am on that trip and try to keep myself fit.”
