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.

From childhood till today, in stand up comedians I had not seen better than Raju Srivastava before, nor found anyone better than him after him. Far and wide, No one had any match with him. May the Almighty Supreme give peace to his soul!
