Raju recounted his love story with his wife Shikha in an interview, saying he waited twelve years to marry her. He had first met her during his brother's wedding in Fatehpur in 1982 and had instantly fallen in love.(Image Source:Getty)

He later moved to Mumbai to pursue a career as a comedian. He used to send letters to Shikha to find out whether she had married someone else. (Image Source: Getty)

Shikha turned down every marriage proposal that came her way. Either she disliked the boy, or she disliked his work. The family members were distressed and later realised that Shikha also wanted to marry Raju.(Image Source: Facebook)

After a few years of hard labour, he was able to purchase his own home in Mumbai and achieve financial security after which he  sent a marriage proposal to Shikha's family. (Image Source: Facebook)

Today, after his demise, Shikha Srivastava told ETimes, "He fought very hard, I was really hoping and praying to see him come out of this. But, that has not happened. All I can say is that he was a true fighter." (Image Source: Getty)
