Rohan Joshi calls Raju Srivastava’s death ‘good riddance’, deletes later

New Delhi: Renowned comedian Raju Srivastava passed away on Wednesday (September 21) after being hospitalized for around 40 days at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. While the nation mourns his loss, stand-up comedian Rohan Joshi’s remark on his demise has brought a havoc.

The stand-up comedian and AIB performer received vicious trolling for his remarks over the untimely passing of the late comic. In his social media post, Rohan used the slogan “good riddance” along with other insulting phrases, which sparked fury on the internet. The stand-up comic later removed his tweet, and he has now apologised to anyone who were offended by it and given an explanation.

This comment of Rohan has irked the public with many taking to different social media platforms to bash and criticise him for his toxicity. Among them was actor Sikandar Kher – who shared a screenshot of Joshi’s comment on his Instagram Stories. The actor slamming him wrote, “There are always people that will not be the ideal way we think they should be. But, that’s life and we as humans and humanity should deal with it for our own health and happiness (in my opinion).” He continued, “But, after reading this about someone who’s passed away too soon, I am just sad to see that a young man who might be funny and witty, probably lacks a huge dose of humanity. #unfortunate #disheartening and very very very #uncool. Ps: took a lot for me to be this polite.”

According to Raju Srivastava’s nephew Kushal Srivastava, the comedian passed away yesterday after suffering a second cardiac arrest.

After Rohan was trolled by the internet for his remark, he apologised and wrote, “Yehi soch kar delete kiya kyuki after a minute of anger I realised today is not about my personal feelings. Sorry if it hurt and thanks for the perspective (sic).”
