Raju Srivastava's daughter shares health update, reveals stand-up comedian is stable now but still unconscious

The health condition of popular comedian Raju Srivastava is stable but the actor continues to be unconscious, his daughter revealed on Thursday.

The stand-up comedian was rushed to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on August 10 in New Delhi after he suffered a heart attack. The 58-year-old underwent an angioplasty the same day.

As worried fans across the world wait for update on the stand-up comedian, his daughter shared that Srivastava is still being treated by doctors.


"He is stable and still unconscious. Doctors are treating him," Srivastava's daughter Antara told PTI.

Last week amid reports of his deteriorating health, his wife Shikha had said Srivastava is a "fighter" who will come back stronger.

The comedian's family had also requested the media and the fans to not spread rumours as it affects the family's "morale". "We do not want negative energy, we need positivity. Please pray for his speedy recovery and he will be back soon," she had told PTI.

Also known for Hindi films such as 'Maine Pyar Kiya', 'Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon' and 'Aamdani Atthani Kharcha Rupaiya', Srivastava is a former contestant of reality shows such as 'The Great Indian Laughter Challenge' and 'Bigg Boss 3'.
