Satish Shah got kidney transplant this year to care for wife battling Alzheimer’s, reveals Sachin Pilgaonkar: “He wanted to extend his life…”
Actor-filmmaker Sachin Pilgaonkar, who shared a long-standing friendship with Satish and his wife Madhu, spoke fondly of the late actor while recalling their bond. In a conversation with News18, Sachin shared, “Satish and Madhu have always been extremely warm and lovable. We saw to it that we invited them to the premieres of all our films. They used to come for the screenings, the parties. They were always there in our list of guests and invitees. We couldn’t celebrate anything without them. And now, I’m wondering how we can celebrate events without him!”
Opening up about Satish Shah’s health struggles, Sachin revealed that the veteran actor had undergone a kidney transplant earlier this year. “Unfortunately, even Madhu isn’t well. She has Alzheimer’s. This year, Satish got his kidney transplanted. He wanted to extend his life so that he could take care of Madhu. He was on dialysis. Earlier, he underwent a bypass surgery, which was successful,” Sachin shared.
He further added that his wife, actress Supriya Pilgaonkar, recently visited the couple. “Supriya went to visit Satish and Madhu just three days ago. I couldn’t go because I was shooting. He played some music, and Supriya and Madhu danced. Madhu recalled how she would dance cha-cha-cha,” he recounted.
Satish Shah leaves behind a rich legacy spanning decades across films and television. His impeccable comic timing and memorable characters in projects like Dekh Bhai Dekh, Main Hoon Na, Kal Ho Naa Ho, and Hum Saath-Saath Hain continue to be cherished by audiences.
