Kaushik suffered a heart attack, his nephew, Nishaan Kaushik, told BBC Hindi. Kaushik broke through in 1987 with the comedy Mr. India, in which he played a cook named Calendar. The success of the film led to decades of work in Bollywood as an actor, director, and screenwriter. He appeared in more than 150 movies.
