Actor Govinda has condoled over the sudden death of co-actor Satish Kaushik.

Talking to Press Trust of India, the actor said: "When I look back today at all the movies that we acted in together, I feel very sad that we lost him. Every actor acts, but he was someone who would understand things and then perform. woh samaj ke acting karte thay."

Govinda and Satish collaborated for the David Dhawan-helmed film Deewana Mastana in 1997.

"For Deewana Mastana, when I went to the set, he had already written (some lines). The scene was a huge hit and is still remembered by fans because we worked on the language of Nagpada (a popular area in South Mumbai), where in every word there is na. We both jointly worked on that scene. He had written his dialogues and I had also written something," Govinda shared.

He continued: "There are a lot of artists, who work in filmy maahaul but he was an actor, who would make any character memorable with his sheer hard work. He would dive into that world completely and become like that character."

"There are so many actors who play such good roles but how many characters become part of history? The characters played by Satish Kaushik are historic, they are remembered even now and will always be," the Aankhen actor concluded.
