Satish Shah, the veteran Indian actor renowned for his comic roles in films like "Main Hoon Na," "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro," and TV shows such as "Sarabhai vs Sarabhai," passed away at the age of 74 due to kidney failure. He died on October 25, 2025, at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai. His death was confirmed by filmmaker Ashoke Pandit and later by his manager. Shah was celebrated for his exceptional comic timing and a career spanning decades, starting from Doordarshan days in the 1980s. He was deeply admired for his character Indravadan Sarabhai and beloved across Bollywood and television[1][3][5][6][7]. Shah's passing brought widespread condolences from fans and notable figures including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who called him a "true legend." Fellow actors like Anupam Kher expressed their grief over losing many stalwarts recently[1][5]. In addition to his work, Shah once shared a poignant moment illustrating the public's inability to separate his comedic persona from his real life—recalling how a fan asked him to tell a joke at a hospital while his wife was critically ill, highlighting the challenges of being typecast in comedy[4]. Overall, Shah is remembered as a versatile actor who brought laughter and warmth through his iconic roles in Indian film and television, leaving a significant legacy in the entertainment industry[1][3].
