Late actor Satish Shah continues to live on in the memories, jokes, and everyday conversations of his Sarabhai vs Sarabhai co-stars. Actor Rajesh Kumar recently opened up about how deeply the late actor is still missed and shared that Satish would have been especially thrilled to see his close friend and batchmate, Rakesh Bedi, receive a fresh wave of love for Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
Rajesh revealed that the Sarabhai vs Sarabhai cast still remembers Satish Shah fondly and often feels his presence in their conversations. He shared that whenever the co-stars chat on their WhatsApp group, the first meme or joke that gets forwarded somehow ends up reminding them of Satish Shah, even unknowingly.
Rajesh further said that Satish would have been delighted to see Rakesh Bedi soaking in all the appreciation coming his way for Dhurandhar today. He said, “I don’t think he has gone, he’s just there. He would have been the happiest to see Rakesh Bedi today. They were batchmates from FTII. Satish ji, Rakesh Bedi sir and David Dhawan were all batchmates.”
Rakesh Bedi essayed the role of Pakistani politician Jameel Jamali in Dhurandhar. The actor has been receiving widespread praise for his performance in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. The film also featured a major twist involving his character, which became one of the biggest talking points among audiences.
Rajesh Kumar also spoke about how Dhurandhar has brought renewed attention to Rakesh Bedi’s earlier body of work. He recalled that after the film’s success, Rakesh sent him a poem to describe the phase he had gone through in his career.
