![]() ![]() I feared that he must be a serious man in real life, as most comedians are known to be. So, it was with trepidation that I arrived at his house. It took some convincing and a producer friend to put in a word for the veteran actor to finally give me “30 minutes”. We meet the 65-year-old actor to find out why he has been missing in action on TV that is in dire need of some clean-hearted, pure humour that he specialised in on the small-screen. He is now set to return with a web series. It remains the highest rated show on Indian television - at one point, it had garnered 48 TRPs! And yet, the actor has done only a handful of shows, his last being Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai. Even the music countdown show Philips Top Ten is best remembered for Shah’s inimitable hosting and the various characters he donned in them. From Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi, Filmi Chakkar to Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, every show he did is iconic. Satish Shah in his three-decade career has raised laughter on TV with his tongue-in-cheek humour, wit and affability. His name is enough to bring a smile on your face.
