Late Actor Satish Shah Honoured With Padma Shri Award; Makers Of Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai Say Recognition ‘Came Late’

Late actor Satish Shah was best known for his roles in Hindi movies like Main Hoon Na, Hum Saath Saath Hain and more. He was recently honoured with the prestigious Padma Shri award posthumously for his contribution to the Indian entertainment industry. The makers of cult favourite show Sarabhai vs Sarabhai shared a heartfelt post on their social media, expressing their heartbreak at how the award 'came late'. They further stated how everyone stands proud of the actor’s massive achievement.

On Monday, HatsOff Productions took to Instagram to share its joyous news of the late actor Satish Shah receiving the Padma Shri Award. The makers of the show, Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, wrote an extensive paragraph sharing how the honour came too late and that the actor did not get to witness this on his own.

The post read, “How uncanny, years ago at a Sarabhai gathering, this very moment was spoken about- almost as a certainty. It came late. Perhaps too late for him to celebrate it himself. But never too late for the nation to acknowledge a life dedicated entirely to entertaining generations, to creating characters that became family, and to leaving behind laughter that will never fade. Today, the Sarabhai family, everyone at HatsOff, along with his friends, family and Madhu Bhabhi stand proud."
