- In a new interview, Antara thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
- Raju died due to a heart attack in September 2022, over 40 days.
- Antara also said that veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan enquired about Raju’s health ‘every single day when he was hospitalised’.
The late comedian Raju Srivastav’s daughter, Antara Srivastav, has thanked a number of people for supporting her family after her father suffered a heart attack. Antara expressed her gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a recent interview, noting that they “remained in touch to the final day.” Antara added that Raju was asked about his health “every single day” when he was in the hospital by famous actor Amitabh Bachchan.
Over 40 days after being admitted to the hospital, in September 2022, Raju passed away after a heart attack. Since his admission to the All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on August 10, 2022, he has been kept alive by a machine. In the presence of his loved ones and close friends, he was cremated.
In an interview with Bollywood media, Antara said, “I want to thank our PM, Narendra Modi ji. He was immediately in touch with my mother ever since dad collapsed and remained in touch till the last day. A lot of things eased out for us, consequently…Arvind Kejriwal wrote us a letter. Laloo Prasad Yadav is a big fan of my dad. And I must tell you that there is one man who enquired about my dad’s health every single day when he was hospitalised. And that’s Amitabh Bachchan. That’s a very big thing. My dad idolised him and he became what he was because of Mr Bachchan. This all gave us a lot of strength.”
