He refuted allegations that he overworked himself at the gym as well.

The 58-year-old stand-up comedian got an angioplasty the same day that he was hospitalised in Delhi after having a heart attack on Wednesday.

Sharing an update about his health, Raju’s nephew Kushal told ETimes, “Raju ji’s condition is gradually and slowly getting better. Doctors are also saying that he is showing a positive response. There are no signs of negative results in his reports which is again a positive sign. Also, Raju Ji moved his hand and fingers which doctors have informed us. He is a fighter, he will be back.”

Additionally, he requested everyone to cease spreading untrue rumours about Raju’s condition and to stop bothering the family by sending them messages.

He also rubbished claims that Raju fell ill after overworking at the gym. “There are also rumours that he exercised a bit too much on the day when he suffered a heart attack which is baseless. He would always run on the treadmill, he never indulged in lifting heavy weights. He was doing his daily exercise,” he said.
