Veteran actor Satish Kaul, was one such known names in the yesteryears who had acted in several Hindi films and also in shows like Mahabharat.
Currently, the actor said that he is going through financial constraints and the nation-wide lockdown had made the situation worse. The actor, who has worked in over 300 Punjabi movies and Hindi films and played the role of Lord Indra in Mahabharat was rumored of staying in an old age home, which the actor has denied of.
Kaul, 75-years-old, told PTI, “I’m staying in a small rented place in Ludhiana. I was staying in an old age home earlier but then I’m here at this place with my Good Samaritan Satya Devi. My health is ok, I’m doing fine but the lockdown has made matters worse. I’m struggling for medicines, groceries and basic needs. I appeal to the industry people to help me. I got so much love as an actor, I need some attention now as a human in need.”
Around 2011, Kaul had moved to Punjab from Mumbai and had started an acting school. But the project wasn’t a success. He said, “It came to a halt and whatever work I was doing later affected after I fractured my hip bone in 2015. For two and a half years, I was bed-ridden in the hospital. Then I had to check in to an old age home where I stayed for two years.”
Kaul said that he feels grateful that people had showered him so much love when he was in his prime and doesn’t have any regrets now. He added, “It’s ok if they have forgotten me. I got so much of love and I’m grateful. I will forever be indebted to the audience for that. Right now, I wish I am able to buy a decent place of my own where I can stay. He added, “The fire to act is still alive in me. It isn’t over. I wish someone gives me a role even today, any role, and I would do it. I’m raring to act again.”
Kaul has worked in films like Pyaar Toh Hona He Tha, Aunty No. 1 and show like Vikram aur Betal.
