Satish Ravilal Shah, a beloved name in Indian entertainment, was celebrated for his impeccable comic timing and versatility. He made an indelible mark with his performances in some of the most memorable Hindi films including Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983), Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994), Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999), Main Hoon Na (2004), Fanaa (2006), Om Shanti Om (2007), among many others.
Apart from his success in films, Shah was equally adored for his television work. He became a household name with the cult classic sitcom Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi (1984) and later the immensely popular Sarabhai vs Sarabhai (2004), where his portrayal of the witty and endearing Indravadan Sarabhai earned him immense love from audiences across generations. He also appeared in Filmi Chakkar (1993) and went on to co-judge Comedy Circus alongside Archana Puran Singh in 2008.
In 2015, he was appointed as a member of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) society, further underscoring his contribution to Indian entertainment.
