Kaushik, was at a friend's home in Delhi when he began to feel uneasy.
His friend and colleague Anupam Kher told PTI, "He told his driver to take him to the hospital... he suffered a heart attack around 1 am on the way."
The post-mortem was conducted at Delhi's Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, where foul play was ruled out as a cause of death.
"Whenever a death is reported, we carry out routine proceedings under CrPC Section 174. The aim is to ascertain if the demise occurred under mysterious circumstances or if the person died of unnatural causes," said Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Manoj C.
The last rites of the actor will be held in Mumbai this evening, Kaushik's manager Santosh Rai said in a statement.
