Actor and comedian Raju Srivastava's demise has left a void in the entertainment industry and the family is still coping with the major loss. In a recent interview, his daughter Antara has shared how famous personalities like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and superstar Amitabh Bachchan kept on checking up on Raju's health.
Speaking to ET Times, Antara expressed her gratitude towards those who reached out to her family during the distressed times. She said, ‘there was one man who enquired about my dad’s health every single day when he was hospitalised. And that’s Amitabh Bachchan. That’s a very big thing.’
She also shared how she was confused whether it was her uncle Kaju Srivastava who had passed away or her father Raju. At that time, her uncle was also admitted in New Delhi’s AIIMS hospital due to some illness.
Antara also added that Raju was so concerned about his fitness that he didn’t miss gym even for a day. She said people shouldn’t blame the gym for Raju death as he had a health condition. She said, ‘Whatever happened to him, it was just incidental that it happened while he was gymming. He had a health condition. We shouldn’t blame the gym.’
