He was eating lunch and collapsed after having one bite. The ambulance arrived after half an hour, and we took him to the hospital, and he was declared dead."

His neighbour Anup Kothekar added, "I was with them. As soon as I got a call from Ramesh ji, I ran to Satish Kaka's house and immediately tried to help him. We kept trying to revive him. He was such a wonderful person; he was already a wonderful performer. Whoever was called in to help him, everyone left their work and rushed away to help Satish kaka. I feel that this was his strength—that everyone came straight away for him."ALSO READ: Satish Shah Funeral: Rupali Ganguly, Ratna Pathak Shah And More Celebs Pay Last Respects To Sarabhai vs Sarabhai ActorThe actor's last rites began at 12 noon at Pawan Hans, Vile Parle (West) in Mumbai.
