Raju Srivastava¡¯s death left a void for the entire country
Raju Srivastava who started as a comedian in the late 1980s had also worked in several films during the 90s. But it was after The Great Indian Laughter Challenge in 2005 that he found mainstream success and fame. During his last days, Raju was hospitalised at AIIMS in Delhi since August after he suffered a heart attack.
Many celebrities mourned his death on social media. Actor Amitabh Bachchan remembered Raju through his blog where he paid homage to comedian-actor Raju Srivastava and remembered him for his everyday humour.
Kapil Sharma, in his condolence message for Srivastava, tweeted, ¡°Today for the first time you have made me cry Raju Bhai ? I wish there would have been one more meeting.
