Bollywood Life in an exclusive interview with Dipika Chikhlia asked about the comedian passing away. She said that she knew he was into fitness as when she offered him coffee, he was like mei green tea piunga calories kum hai (I will drink green tea as it has less calories). She felt so bad and he was a very thin person. He didn't need to worry about calories. She never had a chance to meet his wife, however.

The actress feels that our society on a broad spectrum is overdoing the health bit which is harming us. She feels sad for his family and feels bad about it. The Ramayan star also said that Raju was a lovely person but he should have been a little more careful. At times a fat person can be healthy internally. Fat is not fit but you need to be fit. You should not be obsessed with fitness. Also Read - Adipurush makers masterstroke to boost box office collection: Slash ticket prices, invite 'har bharatiya' to come to theatres

He was known for his comic jokes on relevant situations related to life. May Raju Srivastav's soul rest in peace and may his family get the strength to bear the loss.
