Sumeet Raghavan Mourns Satish Shah’s Death

On Saturday, Sumeet Raghav took to his Instagram to share a video message, expressing his grief over the news of Satish Shah’s

demise. The cast of Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai shared a great bond, and a few years ago, pictures of their reunion went viral on social media. Now, in his video, Sumeet mentioned that while the show only ran for 70 episodes back in 2004 due to low viewership, it has since become a cultural phenomenon. He said that there can only ever be one Indravadan- Satish Shah. Reflecting on their bond, he said that they would address each other as their characters whenever they met. “The bigger this show became, the stronger our bond grew. So whenever we would meet each other, we were not Sumeet, Rupali, or Rajesh. We talked to each other as Sahil, Monisha, Rosesh, Dad, and Mom,” he said.

Sumeet then expressed his grief over the passing of Satish Shah, the senior-most member of the Sarabhai family. “Today, the eldest member of the Sarabhai family has left us. He had been unwell for quite some time. Life can be very cruel. All the fans of Sarabhai are sending their condolences. As the eldest son of this family, I accept all your condolences on behalf of us. And to Dad, I just want to say, so long, Dada. Safe travels, and see you on the other side,” he said. Sumeet teared up while bidding farewell to his on-screen father.
