Satish Shah was known for his impeccable talent, and while he has given some of the most iconic roles and a ton of childhood memories, it was his role of Indravadan Sarabhai that struck a chord with the audience. The actor shared a good rapport with the cast of his show, and after his demise, almost every member of the show—from Ratna Pathak Shah, Rupali Ganguly, Sumeet Raghavan, Rajesh Kumar to Deven Bhojani—came together to bid adieu to their friend and close ally, giving a final goodbye.
