I still remember visiting the sets of Main Hoon Na, where Dad was supervising the VFX.

But that one line stayed with me.” Karanvir Sharma also mentioned that it was Satish Shah who felt that he should become an actor but not a star. He concluded his chat by stating, “Such was the greatness of the man; he told my father to make me an actor, not a hero or a star. That’s the mark of a true artist.” Talking about Satish Shah, the actor is survived by his wife, Madhu Shah. His funeral will be held tomorrow at 12 pm at Pawan Hans Crematorium, Vile Parle, Mumbai.
