Actor-comedian Raju Srivastav died on Wednesday at the age of 58 in Delhi. The news came in after his family confirmed to PTI. He had suffered a cardiac arrest while working out at a gymnasium in the city last month. Then, he was admitted to AIIMS where he underwent angioplasty. He was said to be critical and on a ventilator for over a month. However, his health took a turn for worse earlier this week. Earlier, while speaking to PTI, his cousin Ashok Srivastava had confirmed, “He was doing his routine exercise and while he was on the treadmill, he suddenly fell down. He suffered a heart attack and was immediately taken to the AIIMS hospital.”
As the news broke out, people started taking to social media to honour the comedian.

For many of us, Raju Srivastava was the first stand-up comedian we watched. He didn't win The Great Indian Laughter Challenge but people remember the show because of him. Om Shanti #rajusrivastava pic.twitter.com/HzIwJ8dICN
