Veteran actor Satish Shah's demise on Saturday ended a TV and film career spanning four decades, as famous faces from Bollywood and beyond continue to pay their tributes to the beloved actor.

Despite acting in over 200 films and TV shows by 2017, which included famous titles like 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa' (1994), 'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai' (2004-06), and 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro' (1983), he famously stepped away from acting in 2014, only returning a few times since.

“I have taken, you could say, a sabbatical, and it has been rather long. I have always been the type of person who does things when I enjoy them. I think I stopped enjoying, for a while, so I thought I’ll perhaps rejuvenate myself and then start all over again. I’m in no hurry to die," Shah told News18 in a 2023 interview about his hiatus from acting and public performances.

(More details are awaited.)
