Raju Srivastava's brain is responding, confirms manager; reveals comedian has not gained complete consciousness

Raju Srivastava was admitted to the All India Institute Of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) hospital in Delhi. He suffered a heart attack on August 10 while he was working out in the gym. He collapsed and was immediately taken to the hospital.

The comedian has been on ventilator since a long time and has not yet gained consciousness. Yesterday, his manager had said that Raju Srivastava has gained consciousness but later his family denied.

His manager has now clarified that the comedian has not gained complete consciousness. In an interview with News18 Showsha, his manager, Maqbool shared that Raju has gained partial consciousness. He mentioned that his brain and body have now started responding.

He said, "It’s not like he got up, sat down and is now talking. But his body has now started responding to his brain. This was the only big problem due to which he was unable to gain consciousness but this has happened now (brain is working with the body)."

The manager also said that he is still on ventilator but moves his legs a little. He said, "He is now able to make his legs and hands a little. We can say that it is partial consciousness."

"We are hoping that he will be taken off ventilator either tonight or tomorrow morning. Only if that happens, things will become more clear. Hopefully, he will gain consciousness very soon, "he added.

Yesterday, Raju Srivastava's daughter shared a message on his social media story stating that he is in recovery but on the ventilator at the moment.

The message read, "Dear all well-wishers, My dad Mr. Raju Srivastava Ji's condition is stable and he continues to recover slowly. He is on the ventilator at the moment. Only statements from AIIMS Delhi and Raju Ji's official social media accounts are trustworthy and genuine. Any other news or statements from anyone else is unreliable. The doctors and their entire team at AIIMS Delhi are working hard and diligently. We're thankful to them and all his well-wishers. Request you all to continue your love and prayers for his speedy recovery."
