Kapil Sharma: “Kya kahe, mann udaas hai bahut, I am in Dubai, kal jab utha to pehli khabar yahi mili ke Raju Bhai chale gye, bahut jaldi chale gye, jab bhi milte they bahut pyaar aur samman aur ashirwad dete they, bahut kuch seekha unse, Bhagwaan unko apne charno me sthaan den aur pariwar ko is dukh ki ghadi se ubharne ki shakti de.”
Karanvir Vohra : “We have not only lost a good human being, we have lost an angel, an angel who would always put a smile on our faces, for that few minutes of watching Raju ji, i would airways forget about everything and just would have a smile on my face….Raju ji will be missed and remembered forever.”
Shatrughan Sinha: “Raju Srivastava was a formidable talent. He was funny without being vulgar . he never resorted to double-meaning jokes. Nor did he make fun of individuals or institutions. He was a true humorist, like Johnny Walker, Mehmood , Jerry Seinfeld and Robin Williams. No slapstick no gimmicks. I had the opportunity to work with him in one of my first films Bombay To Goa. We were both new then, so was Amitabh Bachchan who played the romantic lead . I played the villain. Raju was a big Bachchan fan and his early fame came from doing impeccable imitations of the famous Bachchan mannerisms. These imitations were never malicious,more like a fan playing a homage. There was never a malicious bone in Raju’s body. He gave us much laughter and sunshine without targeting anyone.”
