Raju Srivastava suffered a major cardiac arrest while exercising in the gym and was immediately admitted to AIIMS. An angioplasty was performed on him after which he was on a ventilator as he failed to regain his consciousness. He had slightly opened his eyes when an audio sent by Amitabh Bachchan was played to him but not enough to wake him up completely. He finally breathed his last on September 21 after battling for over a month.
