Mahabharat Actor Satish Kaul Is Struggling For Basic Needs; Appeals To Industry For Financial Help
Satish Kaul, who is still remembered for his role of Lord Indra in BR Chopra's Mahabharat, was once a popular name on television and in Punjabi films. He has worked in over 300 Punjabi and Hindi films. But he reportedly suffered a financial blow after his acting school shut shop. As per TOI report, the actor doesn't have enough money to meet his basic expenses, and for the past few years, he has been staying with a nurse (Satya), who used to take care of him in an old-age home. The nationwide lockdown has worsened his condition.
Satish Kaul Appeals To Industry For Financial Help
The veteran actor was quoted by PTI as saying, "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."
The Actor Stayed In Old Age Home For 2 Years
Kaul revealed that his acting school project, which he started around 2011 after shifting to Punjab from Mumbai, wasn't a success.

Then, he shifted to an old age home, where he stayed for two years.
