Popular Indian comedian Raju Srivastava breathed his last on September 21. The comedian passed away on Wednesday at age 58. He was admitted to AIIMS over a month ago after he collapsed while working out at the gym.
Srivastava’s cousin Ashok Srivastava had spoken to PTI recently and confirmed that the comedian had suffered a heart attack while working out. “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,” Ashok had told PTI.
As per recent reports from ANI, the comedian’s personal secretary Garvin Narang informed that Raju Srivastava was recovering and was showing signs of improvement. “Raju Srivastava gained consciousness today after 15 days. He's being monitored by doctors at AIIMS Delhi. His health condition is improving,” he said in the statement
Several reports had earlier revealed that the comedian was put on a ventilator after suffering brain damage. On August 10, Raju Srivastava collapsed during his gym session. The actor complained of chest pain and was immediately admitted to AIIMS hospital in Delhi by his trainer. Reports also said that the comedian was given CPR twice to revive his heartbeat. While initially, his condition was seen to be improving, soon after, reports of his health deteriorating started doing the rounds.
