While Sridevi was queen of Bollywood, TV's comedy king in the 1980s was undoubtedly, the insanely funny Satish Shah, who tragically passed away recently, at the age of 74 on 25 October, 2025.
Shah got national fame through Yeh Joh Hai Zindagi, a pan-Indian sketch-comedy megahit on TV through 1984-1986, while Sridevi was ruling Hindi cinema along those years on film.
The twain stars finally met on set, first on Bhagwaan Daada (Left; 1986), then Aag aur Shola the same year, and finally in Pathar ke Insan (1991).
When comedians die, its such a gut-punch when the laughter fades to silence. When Robin Williams, Satish Kaushik, Kader Khan, Satish Shah, Asrani, Mehmood etc passed, you felt that pang so intensely.
