In September, we lost Srivastava
Srivastava, who was undergoing treatment after suffering a mild heart attack in August, breathed his last on September 21. The comedic genius was working out in the gym when the heart attack hit him and he collapsed. He was hospitalized and put on a ventilator. The 58-year-old had heart issues but he was "as normal as one could be" before suffering from the attack.
