Satish celebrated Holi last month and suffered a cardiac arrest hours later. He is survived by his wife and daughter Vanshika who had given her letter to Satish at the time of cremation. On his birthday on Thursday, she read it out from a photo of the letter on her phone.

As per ETimes, Vanshika read: “Hello Papa, I know that now you are no more but I want you to know that I will always be there for you. Your friends taught me to be strong but I can’t live without you. I miss you so much. If I knew this was going to happen, I would miss school just to spend time with you. I wish I could have hugged you once. You are still in my heart. Like we see in the movies, I wish there is a miracle and you are alive.”

“I don’t know who will save me from mumma when I will not do my homework. I do not feel like going to school anymore. I don’t know what my friends will say. What if they make fun of me? Please come in my dreams every single day. I have done pooja for you and I want you to be in heaven and live a happy life in a big mansion with a Rolls-Royce, Ferrari and a Lamborghini. You will eat great food. We will meet in 90 years again. Please don’t take re-birth, I will meet you in 90 years. Please remember me, I will remember you forever. I had the world’s best dad ever.”

Anupam also opened up about why he decided to celebrate the birthday of his friend of 48 years. He told ANI, “4-5 days ago, Satish came in my dreams and he said ‘Yaar tu mere liye kuch nahi kar raha hai kya (are you not doing anythig for my birthday)?’, so then I decided to celebrate Satish’s life today.”
