My deepest condolences to the family & friends. 🙏🏻” Satish Shah played Vivek Oberoi’s father in ‘Saathiya’. He remembered the actor as he passed away and said, “They say, often clichédly, that someone could light up every room just by being in it. But Satish Shah sir truly was that person. He was a father to me on screen during my very first film, Saathiya, always patient, protective and ready with a joke to ease my nerves. He made Indravadan Sarabhai a character the entire country loved and those who knew him will remember him for his kindness and grace. Godspeed, sir. You will be deeply missed, and forever loved. Om Shanti!” Shah’s funeral will take place today, October 26 at Pawan Hans crematorium.
