A name synonymous with humour and unforgettable performances, veteran actor Satish Shah is currently facing serious health challenges. Known for his impeccable comic timing in iconic shows like Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and films such as Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, the actor has brought joy to millions over the years. However, according to senior journalist Bharathi S Pradhan, Satish Shah has been unwell for some time now.
Sharing details about the actor’s condition, the Senior Most Journalist Bharathi S Pradhan who has been Satish Shah’s close friend for many years, confirmed the news. “Yes, it’s true that Satish is ailing,” she said.
Further revealing the cause of his illness caused from neglecting his health over the years, she added, “In response to one of my messages a few weeks ago, Satish told me he was unwell. So I went to his place in Bandra East to see him and wife Madhu. He’s been highly diabetic for several years and had been ignoring his health. It led to complications and he’s been on kidney dialysis three times a week. It is true that Satish stopped signing films quite some time ago because of his health. His health has been a cause of concern for us friends who’ve known him for a very long time. Since the time of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron.“
