In his caption, Anil wrote, “While I sit here trying to find the right words or just any words really to express what I feel right now…I want to fill books telling you what you mean to me but I know you already knew that…in the 3 mins of this video, I relived so many of our memories. I wish we had more time…I wish I could call you and tell you just one more time how lucky I am to have you in my life… I miss you beyond words Satish… I pray that everyone has a friend like you in their life because you were a true blessing… Happy birthday my friend…”

Actor Gajraj Rao commented on the video, “Beautiful tribute sir.” A fan commented, “When a friend leaves he takes a big part of life with them and the one left behind stays with the remaining parts.

This video shows that our family is given by God but our friends that we choose are no less than family.”
