The guns fell silent at the rifle shooting range at Worli Sea Face on Sunday, October 26, as shooters struggled to come to terms with actor Satish Shah’s death on October 25. Sheila Kanungo, secretary-general, Maharashtra Rifle Association (MRA), said, echoing the MRA top brass sentiment in Mumbai, “His shadow falls long over this shooting range. Years earlier, he was a regular here and quite adept at ‘big bore’ shooting. He did well at the sport, but I guess he could not give it time because of acting commitments. He may not have been at the range too often of late, but he was a larger-than-life presence here. The comedian-actor found his target, whether on the range or on a film set.”
