Exclusive – Raju Srivastava’s nephew Kushal Srivastava confirms the senior comedian’s condition is gradually and slowly getting better

“I would like to inform people to not believe any rumours. Raju ji’s condition is gradually and slowly getting better. Doctors are also saying that he is showing a positive response. There are no signs of negative results in his reports which is again a positive sign. Also, Raju ji moved his hand and fingers which doctors have informed us. He is a fighter, he will be back. I just want to request everyone to pray for his health. The doctors here are doing their best and giving good treatment. Our motive is to stop people from spreading rumours and negative stories. He is stable now and things are improving and he is showing signs of recovery,” he said.

Since last evening there have been negative reports about Raju Srivastava’s health and his family is urging everyone to not believe any rumours. “We are trying our best to stop these negative news as they are spreading easily. People are messaging and asking so things are getting difficult to handle. Raju ji is already fighting a battle inside and these rumours are disturbing the family. We put up a post on his Instagram also, but people are still continuing to message or publish wrong information,” he shared.

He further added, “There are also rumours that he exercised a bit too much on the day when he suffered heart attack which is baseless. He would always run on the treadmill, he never indulged in lifting heavy weights. He was doing his daily exercise.”

The 58-year-old was admitted to the hospital on August 10 after suffering a heart attack. Reportedly, he was running on the treadmill when he complained about chest pain. He underwent an angioplasty the same day at AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical science).
