Film Body Urges PM Modi To Honour Satish Shah With Padma Shri Posthumously

FWICE, representing 36 associations in Indian entertainment, urged PM Modi to honor Satish Shah posthumously with Padma Shri for his four-decade impact on cinema and TV.

  • On October 28, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees urged PM Modi to posthumously confer the Padma Shri on late Satish Shah, sending a letter from Mumbai.
  • Satish Shah died on October 25 in Mumbai at age 74 from kidney failure after suddenly falling ill and being taken to Hinduja Hospital, Shivaji Park.
  • FWICE's letter praised Shah's generosity and his support for welfare initiatives within the industry, while peers lauded his versatility, humour and human warmth, earning deep respect from the working community.
  • His funeral took place at the Pawan Hans crematorium in Vile Parle West, Mumbai, with several actors attending to pay their last respects; he is survived by Madhu Shah, designer, and his loss left an emotional void.
  • FWICE said a posthumous Padma Shri would be a fitting tribute to Shah's life devoted to art and culture, noting he made India smile for over four decades and inspired others.
