Raju Srivastava cremated in Delhi; Sunil Pal, Madhur Bhandarkar attend funeral
On Thursday, the actor-comedian Raju Srivastava was cremated in the nation’s capital in front of his loved ones. His lifeless remains were delivered to the family on Wednesday and then transported to his home in Delhi’s Dwarka. Around nine in the morning on Thursday, an ambulance decorated with white flowers departed towards the Nigambodh Ghat crematorium at Kashmere Gate.
Sunil Pal, Ahsaan Qureshi, Ram Shankar, and director Madhur Bhandarkar arrived at the location to pay their respects to the comic on behalf of Raju. Numerous admirers paid tribute to the comedian. Around 11 am, Raju’s son Ayushmaan performed the final rites according to Hindu tradition.
Dipoo, Raju’s brother, said to PTI: “Around nine in the morning, we departed from the Dwarka home for the funeral. Our Kanpur- and Lucknow-based relatives are present. It was touching to see so many of his supporters and coworkers gather to this location to honour Raju bhai (brother).” He added that the family has not yet decided on the location for the prayer gathering.
After 41 days in the hospital, the 58-year-old comedian passed away on Wednesday morning at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). On August 10, he suffered a heart attack while exercising in a Delhi hotel gym and was afterwards taken to AIIMS. While exercising in the gym, Raju got chest pain and passed unconscious. His trainer then drove him to the hospital.
After taking part in the inaugural season of the stand-up comedy programme The Great Indian Laughter Challenge in 2005, Raju gained considerable notoriety. He began working in the entertainment sector in the late 1980s. He appeared in a number of movies, including Maine Pyaar Kiya and Baazigar. Shikha, Antara, and Ayushmaan, the wife, daughter, and son of Raju, all outlive him.

Aamir could be part of Kishore Kumar biopic
The source said, “The Kishore Kumar biopic is a subject close to the heart of Anurag Basu and Bhushan Kumar, and they are looking to bring it to the spectacle in the best possible way. Aamir Khan is also a big admirer of Kishore Kumar and loved the vision that Basu has to bring the life of legend to the spectacle. The filmmaker has treated it very differently, and that’s what has fascinated Aamir the most.”
Aamir is yet to choose among six films
“Aamir has taken as many as 6 films in consideration, and every film is in different stages of development. While the script of Kishore Kumar Biopic, Ujjwal Nikam Biopic, and Rajkumar Santoshi’s comedy is locked, Ghajini 2, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next, and Zoya Akhtar’s next are in the development stage. Aamir has liked all the films, and will take a call on his immediate next by the end of this year. Of the 6 films, he will do three for sure in different timelines and might let go of the other three,” added the source.
