Meanwhile, in a recent interview, Shekhar Suman revealed that he had advised Raju to focus more on his health when he met the comedian 15 days back on the sets of India's Laughter Champion, the show he is currently judging along with Archana Puran Singh, who replaced Navjot Singh Sidhu from The Kapil Sharma Show.

Speaking to Times of India, Shekhar said, "Raju had come on the sets of India's Laughter Champion around 15 days back and we had chatted for a long time in my vanity van. I had noticed that he had become a bit weak and I also advised him to take things a bit easy and not exert so much in life."

He continued, "He was fine, but I did tell him that he should take care of his health. He said he had no ailments and all was well. And after 15 days, we got to know the shocking news that he was hospitalised. He is a great guy and I know that since the entire nation is praying for him, he will recover soon."
