Actor-comedian Raju Srivastava suffered a cardiac arrest on August 10. He is being treated at AIIMS ever since then and has shown slow signs of recovery. What worries doctors, family members and fans of Raju Srivastava the most is his unconsciousness for the last 35 days.
Raju’s brother Dipoo told news agency PTI, “The recovery is slow. He will be fine soon. He is stable and on a ventilator. He is still unconscious. It’s been 35 days but doctors are saying they are doing their best. We need all your prayers.”
When asked whether the family will shift Raju to a Mumbai-based hospital, Dipoo refused and said that they are satisfied with the treatment given to Raju at AIIMS and have full faith in the doctors.
