Sometimes, the universe sends you a rude shock that instantly pulls you out of your meme-scroll spiral—and Satish Shah’s passing hit exactly like that. If you’ve ever laughed at a Sarabhai vs Sarabhai rerun with your folks or quoted Main Hoon Na in your group chat, you already know why this hurts so much. Bollywood united in tribute, but let’s be real, this one’s a loss for every Indian whose comic timing started at the Satish Shah School of Savage. Let’s skip the endless doom-scroll and relive the moments, tributes, and memories that are now living rent-free in our heads.
- The One With Anupam Kher’s ‘Koi Haq Nahi Hai…’ Video
Sometimes, our elders show us how to deal with grief better than the 47 WhatsApp forwards about resilience. Anupam Kher hit record in Switzerland, his voice cracking while sharing, “Satish, mere Shah—aise nahi jana hota… aapko koi haq nahi hai aise achanak jaane ka.” He actually slipped on sunglasses mid-video, admitting, “Main chashma pehen leta hoon, warna yeh aansu…” Like, bro, we’ve all used shades as our feelings firewall, but this one genuinely got us tearing up behind our own Ray-Bans. Kher had just visited a DDLJ location, so the nostalgia, grief, and Shah’s loss just hit triple hard.

- Priyanka, Kareena, Hrithik—Short, Stark, Straight From The Heart
Proof that sometimes, three words are all you need to say everything. Priyanka Chopra posted, “Rest in peace Satishji” on her Story, while Kareena Kapoor shared a Sarabhai vs Sarabhai still with, “Rest in glory, Satish Shah.” Hrithik Roshan’s tribute on X remembered Shah’s pure kindness to a newbie and his humor that “will continue to inspire.”

- The Legacy That Raised A Generation’s Sense Of Humour
If you’re the kind of person who still drops Rosesh’s poems at reunions or yells “Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro!” unironically, you owe it to Satish Shah. From sitcom royalty in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai to unforgettable cameos in Main Hoon Na, the man gave India the template for sitcom banter and the OG savage uncle. The tributes even came in from PM Modi, to industry vets and youngsters!

Online, it was basically a digital chaat party of shared memories and gratitude.

One fan pulled up Shah’s recent tweet about Shammi Kapoor—it now reads like a hidden, bittersweet farewell.
