The entertainment industry is still reeling from the sudden passing of veteran actor and beloved comedian Satish Shah, who passed away at the age of 74. His colleagues and friends from the industry gathered at his funeral rites. A particularly moving moment captured in a video showed Shah’s co-stars from the iconic show ‘Sarabhai vs Sarabhai’ singing the show’s theme song by his pyre. Deven Bhojani, a cast member and director of the show, has since shared the heartfelt motivation behind this unique and emotional farewell.
In an Instagram post accompanying the video, Bhojani explained that singing the theme song together was a long-standing tradition for the cast whenever they met. He felt that Satish Shah, fondly remembered as Indu in the series, would have wanted them to continue this tradition, even in his final moments. Bhojani expressed his gratitude for having had the opportunity to direct Shah, stating that the actor would forever live on in their hearts.
The gesture resonated deeply with fans, who flooded the comments section with heartfelt messages, calling it a fitting tribute to a great artist. Sumeet Raghvan, another co-star, also shared his grief, bidding a final farewell to his on-screen father figure, Indu Sarabhai, and expressing his love.
