The article discusses how veteran actor Satish Shah initially refused the role of Professor Madhav Rasai in the film "Main Hoon Na" because he found it "disgusting." The character suffers from a condition known as sialoquent, causing him to constantly spit while talking. However, Shah Rukh Khan and the film's director Farah Khan convinced Satish Shah to take on the role, which eventually became one of his most memorable performances. Satish Shah had originally wanted to play the part of the college principal, a role that ultimately went to Boman Irani. The filming of the spitting scenes was challenging due to Shah Rukh Khan's uncontrollable laughter, requiring multiple retakes. In one instance, the crew even had to insert a shot of Zayed Khan because Shah Rukh Khan couldn't stop laughing. Despite the challenges, Satish Shah fondly remembered the experience and has been remembered for his iconic portrayal of Professor Rasai following his passing.
