After hearing the tragic news of Srivastava’s passing, his wife Shikha remarked that her husband was a fighter and expressed her hope that he would recover from his illness. I’m unable to speak at the moment. What can I say or share right now? He battled valiantly, and I sincerely hoped and prayed that he would prevail. That hasn’t happened, though. He was a true fighter, is all I can say,” she told E-Times.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also posted an emotional tribute on Twitter. With the caption “Raju Srivastava lightened our lives with fun, humour, and positivity,” he posted an old photo of the two of them.
