Actress Deepti Naval paid tribute to her late colleague Satish Shah through a social media message expressing shock at his passing. Naval posted a vintage photograph from their 1982 film Saath Saath and acknowledged that she remained unaware of his medical struggles. The veteran performer expressed surprise when Shah previously told her about stepping away from acting despite his talent and popularity.
Naval recalled Shah's passion for music and classic melodies, noting he frequently sent songs through messaging applications before their communication diminished. She described working with Shah as her earliest performance experience and extended sympathies to his widow, Madhu Shah. The actress concluded her message by suggesting Shah continues singing wherever he may be.
Shah died on October 25 at age 74, with funeral services held the following day at Pawan Hans Cremation Ground in Mumbai. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees has petitioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi to award Shah a posthumous Padma Shri recognition. His career spanned numerous productions such as Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om.
