She will stand up to pay her tribute and remember her last memory with him as Archana Puran Singh shares, “When I was informed that all these famous comedians will be coming to our show, the first name that popped up in my mind was Raju, but then I realised that this is going to be a tribute to him. I have to say that I stood up here because I wanted to personally pay my heartfelt tribute to Raju. I have done numerous films with him and realized that he was a very fine actor but then he became more popular with his stand-up comedy. I think he was an actor, a stand-up and a wonderful comic talent. It is heartbreaking as we lost him too early. Just one week before he was hospitalized, he came on the set of India’s Laughter Champion and graced the Sarpanch chair. And in this very studio where the set was put up, standing on the stage he said ‘I want to live on this stage, and I find my share of happiness here. He told me I am made for comedy and if I have to leave this world then I would want to leave making people laugh with my comedy.’ So I am happy that we are paying him a tribute not with tears but with laughter and that is the only kind of tribute that Raju deserves. ”

Don’t miss watching out this beautiful tribute to the Badshah of standup comedy on The Kapil Sharma Show this Saturday and Sunday at 9:30pm only on Sony Entertainment Television!
