Sumeet Raghvan gets teary-eyed as he remembers ‘dad’ Satish Shah. Talking about the show, Sumeet said, “In 2004, we started a show and stopped it after 70 episodes. Because it didn’t work then. Today, 21 years later, that show has become the heartbeat of people’s hearts. The show is called Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. People have begun to identify with the characters of the show. They say, ‘I’m the Sahil of my house,’ ‘this is the Rosesh of our house’ and ‘my wife behaves just like Monisha’. But no one ever said, ‘This is the Indravadan of our home,’ because there was only one — Satish Kaka.”
An emotional Sumeet said that Satish was “struggling for some time.” “Today, he left us. As the show continues to grow, so does our bond. Whenever we met, we didn’t talk as Sumeet, Rupali or Rajesh. Then we are Sahil, Monisha, Rosesh, Dad, and Mom. That’s how we talk with each other. Today, the head of the Sarabhai family, our most senior member, has left us. Kaafi dino se woh joojh rahe the (He had been struggling for some days). Finally, life can be very cruel,” he added.
