Bharti Singh Mourns Raju Srivastava’s Death, “I’m In Pain But Even Then I Can’t Say This To Anyone That I Want To Cry”

“Jeena yahan marna yahan”. With these words immortalised by the voice of Mukesh in Raj Kapoor’s classic ‘Mera Naam Joker’, popular comedienne Bharti Singh remembered the late Raju Srivastava.

Bharti Singh said from the sets of a show she is working on: “Just a few days back, I spoke to his wife and told her that he will be fine. He had made everyone laugh, so God will do justice to him. She asked me to pray for him and I said I pray for him every day. But today, just five minutes ago, I came to know about his demise and it came as a shock to me during the shoot.”

Bharti Singh told IANS: “I am at the shoot and have to make everyone laugh, but I don’t know how to do it. I am in pain but even then I can’t say this to anyone that I want to cry.”
