Raju Srivastava's wife Shikha gives health update about the comedian, says 'All I can say is that his...'

Raju Srivastava, who had a heart attack on August 10, is receiving prayers from the whole country for a quick recovery. The talented comedian was once again placed on ventilator support when he developed a fever a few days after regaining consciousness.

A few days ago, there were rumours circulating that Raju had opened his eyes and held his wife Shikha's hand. The actor was hospitalized at AIIMS in Delhi after having a heart attack on August 10. An infection set in after his cardiac arrest. Since that time, only his wife Shikha has been permitted to meet him under controlled circumstances.

In an interview with Bombay Times, the actress revealed, “All I can say is that his condition is stable and he is still on a ventilator. The medical team is doing their best and we all want your prayers so that he recovers and is back with us.”

The family of Raju Srivastava has encouraged people not to heed misleading information. According to a family acquaintance, "He has been on a ventilator, it was never taken off. He is stable and we are hoping that his condition improves. People should not believe the rumours doing the rounds about his gaining consciousness. Such stories should not be spread, it affects the morale of his dear ones. Rajuji is a fighter and he will fight this out and get better."

Following his appearance on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge's (2005) inaugural season, stand-up comedian Raju became well-known. Aamdani Atthani Kharcha Rupaiya, Baazigar, Maine Pyar Kiya, and Bombay to Goa are just a few of the movies he has been in. His most recent appearance was in The Indian Laughter Champion.
