“Satish Shah was not feeling well for the past few months. Unka kidney transplant hua tha, and infection hogaya (He underwent a kidney transplant and later developed an infection). He was on the road to recovery initially, but later developed an infection,” JD said.
He continued, “However, I spoke to him the day before yesterday, he was sounding so healthy and positive. He was talking about shooting something in November. But God had other plans.”
Speaking to Screen, actor Parmeet Sethi also talked about Shah's health struggles, revealing that he had a week heart, and had also suffered a heart attack earlier.
Talking about his co-star, he shared, “I knew his heart was weak. He had a heart attack earlier too. I am very shocked. We were not in touch, but we worked on a couple of films together. He was one of the most loved people on set. He always had some anecdotes about his theater days. He had such great camaraderie with Shah Rukh Khan during DDLJ. He was so fond of guns, and he was a very fit guy. He could do some exercises on set and make us wonder how he did it despite the weight on him. He was so good. He was electric on set–so much fun. I am so sad that he has gone so prematurely; this is not the age to go.”
In his career spanning decades, Shah has played several iconic characters, from Commissioner D'Mello in Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron to Professor Rasai in Main Hoon Na and Indravadan Sarabhai in the TV show Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai.
