Amitabh Bachchan grieves Satish Shah's death
On Sunday, Big B took to his personal blog to express his sorrow over Satish Shah's passing. He wrote, “Another day, another work, another quiet. Another of us has passed away — Satish Shah, a young talent, and has left us at a very young age. And the stars they favour not... to us all... And these times of the grim... it bodes not well to express in normalcy... foreboding us in all at each moment.”
He added, “It is in the ease to abide by that age-old wordage... ‘but the show must go on’... and so it does, as does life. Each day an express of an alternate... or wherever the ‘show’ must guide us to... hence... even in distress and glumness, despondency, the face of normalcy and the act of work persists... but no... improper to pursue normalcy...”
Satish and Amitabh first shared screen space in the 1982 film Shakti. Ramesh Sippy’s crime drama also featured Dilip Kumar, Rakhee Gulzar, Smita Patil, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, and Amrish Puri. It was notable for being the first and only film to feature veteran actors Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan together on screen. Big B also had a cameo in Satish’s Hero Hiralal. They later appeared together in the 2008 film Bhoothnath.
