Not just a fabulous actor but he was an incredible storyteller too. He has directed many films, which will always remain memorable.

I’m still reeling from the shocking news that I received this morning. I can’t believe that I won’t be able to meet him again. I adored him. At a time like this, I send my sincere condolences, love and strength to his family. I hope Satish ji rests in peace and is happy wherever he is now.”
