A wave of grief swept through the industry as friends and colleagues gathered to pay their final respects to veteran actor Satish Shah, who passed away on October 25 due to kidney failure. His prayer meet
was held at Jalaram Hall in Juhu yesterday, October 27. Amid the solemn atmosphere, a touching moment unfolded when Anupamaa star Rupali Ganguly, with folded hands and teary eyes, gently requested the paparazzi to stop filming the late actor’s wife, Madhu Shah, who is battling Alzheimer’s.
Rupali Ganguly’s Heartfelt Request to Paparazzi
A video from late actor Satish Shah’s prayer meet has touched hearts online, showing Anupamaa star Rupali Ganguly in an emotional moment of compassion. Madhu Shah, Satish’s wife, was seen arriving at the venue accompanied by several women — seemingly close friends and family members. Later, as she was leaving, Rupali stepped forward and, with folded hands, politely requested the photographers not to film Madhu.
Fondly referring to Satish as “Kaka,” Rupali was heard saying, “Aap se ek request… Madhu kaki ka mat lo… Please please. Please neeche kar lo. Unko jaane do, hum log yahin hain.”

At the prayer meet, JD Majethia said, “We have performed all the rituals, but we want to celebrate Satish ji’s life. The songs he used to sing, we are singing those very songs today to celebrate his memory. Satish Shah always wanted us to remember him the way he lived, with joy and laughter.”
Veteran actor Satish Shah passed away in Mumbai on Saturday at the age of 74 due to renal failure. According to his manager, the Sarabhai vs Sarabhai star suddenly collapsed while having lunch at his residence. He was immediately taken to Hinduja Hospital, where doctors tried to revive him, but he could not be saved.
