Veteran actor Satish Shah underwent a kidney transplant earlier in 2025 with the hope of extending his life in order to care for his ailing wife, Madhu, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Despite the transplant and passing some time in relatively stable health, he ultimately succumbed to kidney-related complications at age 74. His close friend, actor-filmmaker Sachin Pilgaonkar, revealed that Shah was on dialysis before the transplant and had also previously undergone a successful bypass surgery. Shah's death occurred suddenly at home shortly after sending a message saying he was well, and he collapsed during lunch before being taken to the hospital where he was declared dead. Shah and Madhu shared poignant moments shortly before his passing, including Madhu dancing the cha-cha-cha to music played by Shah. The actor's funeral was attended by family, friends, and the film fraternity, with condolences offered at his Bandra residence before the final rites[1][3][5][7][9].
