College & Theatre Years:

 Satish Rajwade found his passion for this make-believe world when his mother sent him to an acting workshop for kids during his summer holidays. Satish Rajwade says “To be very frank, I did not act in any play during my school years. But I was a very mischievous kid. Therefore, in order to get at least 2 hours of respite, my mother packed me off to a kid’s acting workshop and it was there that I found my true calling.” With the vision of making an entry into theatre and acting, Satish Rajwade joined the Mithibai College in Vile Parle – (West) which is a preferred college for students wanting to make their mark in the glamour world. During his college years, he acted in 75 one-act plays for his college in Marathi, Hindi, English as well as Gujarati for which he bagged many awards including the INT Best Actor in a Comic Role award for a Marathi one-act play “Aambaa”.

                The Best Comic Actor award fetched Satish Rajwade a role in his first professional play “Tur Tur” by Kedar Shinde in which he portrayed a role of a Gujarati man. But his first big break came when he was spotted by Mahesh Manjrekar and Mohan Wagh and was offered the role of the deaf man in the famous play “All The Best”. Satish Rajwade did 890 shows of this play both in Marathi as well as English versions.
