More details
Satish Shah first met Madhu Shah at the Sipta Film Festival, where he instantly fell in love with her. However, Madhu reportedly turned down his initial proposal. Satish tried his luck again during the shoot of Saath Saath (1982), only to be rejected once more. But his persistence eventually paid off. On his third proposal, Madhu asked him to meet her parents. After he won them over, the two got engaged and tied the knot just eight months later, in 1972. The couple has been together ever since, choosing to keep their personal life away from the public eye.
Satish Shah died of renal failure in Mumbai on Saturday. He was 74. The actor collapsed while having lunch at his Mumbai residence, his manager revealed. He was rushed to Hinduja Hospital but could not be revived. His funeral took place on Sunday in Mumbai, where his family and colleagues from the film industry gathered to bid him a final farewell.
