Raju Srivastavas Most Popular Characters And Acts: Gajodhar, Indian Marriages And More
Raju Srivastava was the finest comedian in recent times.
Raju Srivastava, one of India’s most well-known stand-up comedians, dies at the age of 58. He had a sudden heart attack on August 10 and was sent to AIIMS Delhi as a result. The actor was placed on life support and moved right away to the intensive care unit. He had not regained consciousness for more than a month, and despite the efforts of the physicians, his condition was getting worse. He experienced brain damage as a result of the heart attack, according to doctors.
Thousands of live performances by this actor-comedian have taken place all over the world, including in the US, Britain, Australia, South Africa, Kenya, Fiji, Dubai, Bangkok, and Hong Kong.
As for the well-known comedian who has enthralled the entire country with his acts and the funny characters he plays, we present a glimpse of some of the best characters used in his stand-ups.
Gajodhar Bhaiya
Gajodhar Bhaiya was a character developed by Raju, who was a huge fan of Amitabh Bachan and chose to pursue acting as a career after seeing him.
He frequently used Gajodhar in his performances, and as a result, Gajodhar eventually developed a reputation.
It was obvious from the expressions that it was a made-up person who resembled any typical desi person from Uttar Pradesh. Most of the time, Gajodhar spoke in the “Awadhi” dialect and reacted to everything around him in an odd and humorous way.
Gajodhar gained such a following that Raju Srivastava was given this nickname by the viewers.
Sankatha, Baijanaath, and Puttan
Raju Srivastava always took inspiration for his characters from the people in his immediate surroundings. A smile blossoms on the viewer’s face as soon as names like Gajodhar, Sankatha, Baijnath, and Puttan come to mind.
One such act was when Gajodhar went to a cinema hall with all his friends, Sankatha, Baijanaath, and Puttan. They became very popular, especially among the North Indian migrant population of Mumbai.
A major part of Raju’s comedy has been centred around the railway station. “Aye Yadav, Sankatha, Gajodhar, Birju, E train Apna chhuta ya baju wala” (Hey Yadav, Sankatha, Gajodhar, Birju-has our train started or the one standing next to us?) It became so popular that most railway station memes are still based on it today. Short videos are being made with Raju’s voice.
Indian marriages and Unhappy ‘Jijaji’ and ‘Fufaji’ (brother-in-law and uncle) in it
The bride and groom are not the only subjects of weddings. Whether they like it or not, occasionally visitors steal the show by being the subject of gossip for their actions. Raju Srivastava’s humorous explanations of the odd Indian marriages have given credence to this idea.
Raju made a humorous point about how people feel nervous about eating at weddings when the cameraman begins to focus on the visitor tucking into the buffet. He had highlighted how the Jijaji and Phuphaji were constantly grumbling about the services and accommodations offered during the weddings.
Shaadi mein sabse kharab haalat tabh hoti hai jab lighting mein lakhon rupaye kharcha kiya hai lekin generator nahi mangaya hai. (The worst situation in marriage occurs when lakhs of rupees have been spent on lighting but the generator has not been ordered.)
Raju Srivastava’s take on peculiar Indian weddings is a perfect example of observational humor.
The Indian entertainment industry and the stand-up comedy fraternity have lost one of the best and one of the first stars. Mr. Raju Srivastava was the finest comedian in recent times. He will be missed by his millions of fans in India and around the world.
