Anupam Kher pays tribute to his friendship

Anupam Kher and Satish Kaushik have been well-known for their thick friendship since the time they made their way in B-town, for more than 20 years now.

Their friendship can be traced back to the days when both were honing their acting skills; as students of drama, at the illustrious National school of Drama.

So it didn’t come as a surprise, when the duo set-up a production company together. But quite a few eyebrows were raised when they christened it with an odd name like Karol Bagh Films and Entertainment.

Apparently, the name carries a nostalgic whiff of parathas, dreams and friendship for Anupam. The mystery behind naming the production house Karol Bagh Film and Entertainment has an interesting anecdote...

Let’s hear it from the horses’ mouth himself.

Says Satish Kaushik, “Anupam and I were doing theatre at NSD. Since I am from Delhi and Anupam hails from Simla; he used to drop in at Karol Bagh and relish the parathas made at my place. We have great memories of our friendship in Delhi.” He goes on to add, “It was Anupams’ idea to name our production house Karol Bagh. It was very sweet gesture and tribute to our friendship.”

All we can say after listening to this; long-live their friendship and Karol Bagh’s famous parathas.
