Raju Srivastava’s daughter Antara has spoken about her late father for the first time. In a recent interview, Antara revealed how her father did not speak anything while he was hospitalised for over a month. She also added that it is a very tough time for her family and that her mother is ‘not fine’.
“I am flying down with Mummy tonight to Mumbai. She is not fine. It is a very tough time for us," Raju’s daughter told E-Times.
“Daddy didn’t speak anything in the hospital," she added.
Reportedly, Raju Srivastava’s prayer meet will be held in Mumbai today, September 25 at ISCKON Juhu. During the conversation, Srivastava’s daughter shared that another puja will be held in Kanpur also later. “We will be back in Delhi soon. A lot of rituals are in the offing. Kanpur was Dad’s home. So, we have to do puja there too," she revealed.
Earlier, Raju’s wife Shikha also said that the late comedian was truly a fighter. “I am not able to talk right now. What can I share or say now? He fought very hard, I was really hoping and praying to see him come out of this. But, that has not happened. All I can say is that he was a true fighter," she had said.
