The entire nation is in disbelief at the passing of Raju Srivastava at the age of 58. The top comedian breathed his last in AIIMS, New Delhi, around 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday. He fought 40 days for his life on a ventilator after he went into cardiac arrest on August 10 while exercising at the gym. His colleague and close friend Kapil Sharma has said goodbye to the ‘King of Comedy’ in tears.
Kapil posted on Instagram a smiling photo of Raju Srivastava from his visit to The Kapil Sharma Show. On his death, he wrote an emotional note in Hindi that read: “Aaj pehli baar aapne rulaya hai Raju bhai. Kash ek mulakat aur ho jati. Ishwar aapko apne charno me sthan dein. Aap bohot yaad aayenge. Alvida. Om Shanti ( For the first time you made me cry Raju bhai I wish we could have met one last time I pray the Almighty to protect you under his love You will be sorely missed See you soon. RIP).”
