Moreover, Anupam said, "Anil has prepared a small audio-visual for Satish, we will see that. Then I will request Anil to come and talk."

Despite Anil's reluctance to come onstage, Anupam urged him to do so. He insisted, "You have to come. Don't worry, I'm also struggling to cope with this. I can't do it alone."

Anupam also went on to say that Satish was "underrated sometimes, but he was so brilliant. He never decided to market himself. He was amazing."

According to Hindustan Times reports, speaking of Satish and his conversation, veteran actor Anupam Kher said, "On the 9th, 7th he came on my birthday, he called me up, maine kaha, 'Tu bohut thaka hua sound karraha hai' (I said, 'You sound very tired'). Kyu aesa karraha hai? Tu aesa kar hospital mein chala ja, check-in kar, don't admit yourself, go and check in'. Toh usne kaha, 'Don't worry, main abhi marne waala nahi hoon' (Why is that so? Go to the hospital and check-in. He said, 'Don't worry, I am not going to die'). And after three hours he, unfortunately, left us."

Actress Shabana Azmi also talked about Satish and his daughter's equation during the event. She told Vanshika, "When you made the Instagram videos, he used to be so proud of you. He used to always say, 'See my daughter'. So, Vanshika, I promise to you today, what your father wanted for you, I will do it till the extent I can."
