Emotional Farewell for Satish Shah
Another video that was trending on social media was the cast of Sarabhai vs Sarabhai singing the theme of the show at the funeral. The description of the clip seen on X was, It always made me happy when I heard the title song to their reunion, but it completely broke me to see them sing such like that. It leaves a team broken, which lived like a family all that time. God is unkind sometimes (sic).”

Deven Bhojani and producer JD Majethia, other team members of the Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, were there to pay tribute to their long time colleague and friend. The funeral was also attended by actor Neil Nitin Mukesh and other television and film personalities and it was at Vile Parle.
The event was indicative of the vast amount of respect that Shah had throughout the generations of the entertainment industry.
The demise of Satish Shah is a sign of the conclusion of a certain epoch in Indian comedy. Shah established a niche as one of the most favourite comic actors of Hindi cinema with a role in Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Hum Aapke Hain Koun!, and Main Hoon Na.
The legendary actor as the memorable Indravadan Sarabhai and a decades-long career in both television and movie acting passed away on Saturday afternoon at 74. He was suffering due to kidney related complications and had a transplant a couple of months ago.
