Raju Srivastava breathed his last on September 21 at the age of 58 after spending close to 1.5 months at the hospital following a heart attack. Now, a month after the comedian's demise, his wife Shikha Srivastava has shared a throwback video of the comedian and remembered him.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Shikha penned a note for her late husband. In the old video, Raju sat on a bed inside a room and sang Kishore Kumar's Yaadon Main Woh Sapnon Main Hai from Swami (1977). Sharing the video, Shikha wrote, "It's been a month since you're gone but we know you're still with us and will continue to be... (red heart emoji)." After writing a line from the song in Hindi, she continued saying that he is now in her memories, conversations and dreams.
Shikha also wrote in Hindi, "I didn't know you would change this song into reality so soon (in just 12 days). I did not know that heartbeat will betray you, you will make us cry while making everyone laugh ...... (red heart emoji) - Shikha Srivastava."
Raju was in the entertainment industry since the 1980s and shot to fame after participating in the first season of the reality stand-up comedy show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge in 2005.
