ऐसा कोई सगा या पराया नहीं,
जिसे राजू श्रीवास्तव ने हँसाया नहीं।
बहुत जल्दी चले गए राजू भाई।
You were a true legend of stand up comedy.

I feel like an era has ended with the passing of Raju Srivastava. I remember watching him when he used to do stand-up on The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and he was my first exposure to comedy and what stand-up comedy is like. And while I grew up having a very different taste in comedy, I will always be grateful to him for introducing me to comedy and making my childhood a little brighter. Rest in peace, Raju Srivastava. You will be missed.
