Raju Srivastava, who is currently admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi following a heart attack on August 10, is recuperating but still unconscious.
Recently, a report stated that an unidentified man had entered the ICU to take selfies with the comedian. Even though he has been detained by the hospital staff, his family is reportedly worried after the incident.
For this reason, the security outside his room has apparently been beefed up.
A few days ago, Raju Srivastava collapsed while running on the treadmill at a South Delhi gym. He was rushed to AIIMS where it was declared that he has suffered a heart attack. The comedian has since been in the ICU.
Several reports emerged of his health update and critical condition. However, it is Shekhar Suman, who is currently seen in India's Laughter Champion as a judge, who tweeted that Raju is unconscious but his organs are functioning normally.
Shekhar tweeted on Sunday (August 21), "Today’s update on Raju according to his family members.. His organs are functioning normally. Though still unconscious, the doctor says, he is supposedly improving steadily. Mahadev ki kripa. Har Har Mahadev."
Raju Srivastava is known for mimicking Bollywood actors and political leaders. He has been part of popular shows such as The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, Comedy Ka Maha Muqabala, Comedy Circus, and Comedy Nights with Kapil.
