Amid all the love showered, Stand up comedian
Rohan Joshi's comment on Raju's demise has been surfacing on social media platforms. His negative and insensitive comment has been called out by the netizens and fellow Industry members.
He commented "We haven't lost a thing, whether it was Karma, whether it was the roast or any comic in the news.
Raju Srivastav took every opportunity he ever got to shit on newer comics, especially after the new wave of standup started. He went on every fuckall news channel every time he was invited to go shit on an upcoming artform and call it offensive just because he couldn't understand it and new stars were rising. He might have told a few jokes but understood nothing about the spirit of comedy or defending someone's right to say something even if you don't agree. Fuck him and good riddance"
This comment took the internet by storm as the followers slam Rohan for his language towards someone's demise. He later deleted the comment from Atul Khatri's post but the netizens made a note of it. Have a look at their reactions:
Well, his reaction has stirred up the Industry as nobody expected something to write this at such a heartbreaking time for a reputed comedian like Raju Srivastava. The comedian was survived by his wife Shikha and children Antara and Ayushman. His funeral will take place in Delhi as his brother resides there and it would be eaiser for them to reach there rather than bringing him all the way to Mumbai. The last rites are scheduled to take place at 10 am tomorrow (22nd September 2022). He suffered from chest pain while working out in the gym and collapsed, he was rushed to the hospital on 10 August. Since then, Raju has been battling for his life in the ICU and today after severe bleeding at 8:30 am as shared by Johnny Lever, he passed away at around 10:30 am.
