The
58-year-old
stand-up

who
has
been
active
in
the
entertainment
industry
since
late
1980s,
is
also
the
chairperson
of
the
UP
Film
Development
Council
in
Uttar
Pradesh.
Recently,
ETimes
TV
reported
that
Raju's
entire
family
is
at
the
hospital.
The
comedian,
who
continues
to
be
on
a
life-supporting
system,
has
still
not
regained
consciousness.
For
the
uninitiated,
Raju
collapsed
while
working
out
in
gym
on
the
treadmill.
Apparently,
Raju
was
resuscitated
thrice
and
was
rushed
to
catheterisation
lab
and
underwent
angioplasty.
ETimes
TV
source
revealed
that
the
officials
of
the
gym
brought
him
to
AIIMS
in
the
nick
of
time.
It
is
being
said
that
Raju
had
heart
issues
for
some
time
and
has
stents
implanted.
When
asked
if
Raju
was
advised
by
the
doctors
not
to
exercise
heavily,
a
source
revealed,
"If
there
was
any
advice
of
such
sort,
Raju
would
not
have
gone
against
it.
The
day
he
collapsed
while
working
out,
he
was
as
normal
as
one
could
be;
no
signs
of
even
any
fatigue."
