An excerpt from his note read, "Happy Friendship Day to all my friends. Today, I'm especially missing my dear friend, Satish.
You know, every one of us has that one friend... whenever you're frustrated, upset, or you just want to pull your friends' leg, gossip a little, or simply laugh about life, you call them. Nothing ever goes beyond that conversation. Satish was that person for me. I miss his humour, his energy, his incredible talent... but most of all, I miss my friend. It's not easy to find someone who stays with you through an entire journey."

Varun Sharma is such an underrated actor! The way he writes in Hinglish with so much authenticity - "B'day Party jahan main woh 1 Cake ka Slice, 1 Patties, Thode se wafers and 1 Gulab Jamun ka piece ka wait kar raha tha" - this is exactly how we speak in our dosti groups! 😂 The 90s truly were special - no social media pressure, no reels to make, just pure fun with friends. Also, Anil Kapoor's tribute to Satish Kaushik ji was so touching. True friendships like that are rare these days. Respect to both of them for keeping those bonds alive!
This is so relatable! I remember those days when we'd all gather at someone's house for their birthday and literally count the minutes until we could dig into the treats. The excitement was real! 😄 Varun's caption made me tear up a bit ngl. Growing up in the 90s in India was special - from Maggie parties to watching Doordarshan together, everything was about togetherness. Also, sending love to Anil Kapoor sir for his beautiful tribute to Satish Kaushik ji. True friendship transcends everything. 💛
While I appreciate the nostalgia, I feel like we romanticize the 90s a bit too much. Every generation has its own charm. Today's kids have different but equally valuable experiences - they just express them differently. That said, Varun's post is genuinely sweet and takes me back to simpler times. The Anil Kapoor-Satish Kaushik friendship story is what touched me most - that's the kind of bond that lasts decades. Happy Friendship Day to everyone who values their dosti! 🤝
