He was suffering from kidney related disease for a long time and after fighting a long battle, he finally lost the battle of life. Even though this actor is no longer with us, his memorable characters will always remain in the hearts of people. Satish Shah left an indelible mark on the hearts of people through TV and films. The actor had played innumerable characters on the film screen, but when he came on the small screen, there was one character of his which remained engraved in the hearts of people forever and that was the character of Indravardhan Sarabhai.
‘Sarabhai vs Sarabhai’ is a cult classic
Today ‘Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai’ is included in the list of classic cult shows. Its clips also go viral on social media and the audience praises it and calls it a show much ahead of its time. ‘Sarabhai vs Sarabhai’ was a concept way ahead of its time and perhaps this is the reason why its TRP was very low due to which the makers had to take it off air.
How did a flop show become a superhit?
Talking to DNA about the flop of this show, Satish Shah had said, let me tell you one thing that we started this show as a weekly. This show used to come once a week. It did not get that much publicity at that time. By the time people realized that it was a good show and started watching it, it was taken off air because the TRP was very low. This was the first flop show of my career. I felt very bad. Later this show was telecasted daily and only then people started watching and liking it.
