New Delhi: As per latest reports, celebrity comedian Raju Shrivastav who suffered a heart attack on August 10, is almost brain dead say experts at AIIMS where he has been admitted.
He had been on ventilator but his condition was described as ‘stable’ in recent updates from his team. However, on Wednesday, his chief advisor stated that the doctors treating him have said the comedian’s condition has worsened.
Reports said that the 58 year old was running on the treadmill when he complained about chest pain. He had also undergone an angioplasty on the same day. His family in a media interaction on Friday asked fans not to spread rumours about his health and pray for him.
On August 14th, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan asked Raju in a voice message to wake up because there was still a lot of work to be done (Utho, abhi bahot kaam karna hai). Big B assured her that God would soon heal the comedy veteran.
A familiar face in the industry since the 1980s, Srivastava rose to fame after participating in the first season of the reality stand-up comedy show “The Great Indian Laughter Challenge” in 2005.
