He further continued, “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.”

“They say, often clichedly, that someone could light up every room just by being in it. But Satish Shah sir truly was that person. He was a father to me on screen during my very first film, Saathiya, always patient, protective and ready with a joke to ease my nerves. He made Indravadan Sarabhai a character the entire country loved and those who knew him will remember him for his kindness and grace. Godspeed, sir. You will be deeply missed and forever loved,” Vivek wrote in an X post.
