After being admitted to the AIIMS hospital in Delhi in August, Raju Srivastava passed away on September 21. The 58-year-old actor-comedian was hospitalized after he collapsed during his workout session. Ever since then, he has been in and out of the ventilator. While his health condition was still fragile, his cousin confirmed to the media that Raju passed away today morning after suffering from a heart attack.
It is a known fact that the actor-comedian was loved by many celebs in the Indian film industry. And recently, some of the actors who worked with Raju Srivastava on television had taken to social media to grieve the demise of their colleagues and extend their condolences to the family.
Ali Asgar
“I received numerous calls from the media since morning asking me about Raju Srivastava's demise, firstly I cannot process the fact that he is gone because we all were expecting him to revive as we all saw a ray of hope and I also heard that he was responding well to the treatment. We have fond memories of each other. He will always be vividly remembered as someone very vivacious and funny. We have indeed lost a great soul today, and moreover everything I will miss meeting him on various occasions and cherishing all our good old days!”

The actor-comedian was quoted by mid-day.com saying, “It's really shocking, I had been praying for him. I thought he will recover after suffering a heart attack. I recall, I started my career as an assistant to Lawrence D'souza, as an 18-year-old, and Rajuji had acted in that film. Our connection dates back to that time. We went on to do so many television and live shows together. He was genuinely a nice person, my condolences to the family."

Ssudeep Sahir"It’s so sad, my heartfelt condolences to his family. May god give them strength and may Rajuji’s soul rest in peace. In the month of February, when I went to Delhi, Rajuji was my co-passenger on the flight. Throughout the flight he was cracking jokes, telling me about his experiences in the industry and how he’s setting up a filmcity in Noida. What a talented man! Honestly, I didn’t come to know how soon the two-hour journey went by. It’s extremely sad and heartbreaking and a huge loss to our industry, I will always remember Rajuji with a smile on my face."Gaurav Singh"He was a man full of humour and enthusiasm. I am shocked and saddened about his unfortunate demise. It’s a huge loss to the industry. I still remember his performances in ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’ and what a treat it was to watch him on stage."Chaitannya Choudhry"My earliest memory of him was at one of his stand-up performances which I had gone for with my family.

Om Shanti."Pranitaa Pandit"It’s too soon to go. This is no age for this to happen and it’s completely heartbreaking. I was very young when I first saw him perform.

His style of comedy is so unique and he has made us all laugh so much. I just hope he is always happy wherever he is."
