Mumbai, Oct 25 (NationPress) Actor Sumeet Raghvan, renowned for his role as Sahil Sarabhai in the iconic series Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, paid a heartfelt tribute to his onscreen father, Satish Shah. In a poignant video shared on social media, Sumeet fondly referred to him as “Kaka.”
Reflecting on their time together, Sumeet began the video by reminiscing, “Back in 2004, we launched a show that was wrapped up after just 70 episodes. Fast forward 21 years, and that show has become a part of everyday life for many. It is Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai.”
He highlighted how deeply the audience connects with the show's characters, stating, “Fans approach us and say, ‘I’m the Sahil of my household,’ or ‘This is the Roshesh of my family,’ or 'my wife acts just like Monisha.' Yet, no one ever claimed to be ‘the Indravadan of their home,’ because there was only one Indravadan — Satish Kaka — and he is no longer with us.”
On the special camaraderie among the cast of Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, Sumeet shared, “As the show's popularity grew, so did our bond. Whenever we gathered, we weren’t just Sumeet, Rupali, or Rajesh. We called each other Sahil, Monisha, Rosesh, Dad, and Mom.”
With visible emotion, Sumeet expressed, “Today, the patriarch of the Sarabhai family, our most esteemed member, has departed. He had been facing challenges for a while, and life can indeed be harsh.”
With tears in his eyes, Sumeet concluded the message by accepting condolences as the eldest son of the Sarabhai family. “To all the fans sending their condolences to the Sarabhai family, I accept them as the eldest son.”
“And to Dad, I simply wish to say — safe journey, Dad. Until we meet again,” he ended the video.
“Love you, Satish Kaka. Love you, Dad... We all cherish you and miss you, Indu... Narad Muniiiii... #sarabhaivssarabhai #indravadansarabhai,” Sumeet captioned the heartfelt post.
