This is the fourth time that a question has featured about him on the show. Special thanks to @sonytvofficial."

Following the comedian's demise in September Raju Srivastava's daughter, Antara shared that Big B sent out a special voice note which was played for the comedian while he was in a coma. 

"Extremely grateful to Shri @amitabhbachchan uncle for being there for us every single day during this tough time. Your prayers gave us an abundance of strength and support, which we will remember forever. You are my father’s idol, inspiration, love and Guru. Since the first time dad saw you on the big screen, you have stayed within him forever. He not just followed you on-screen but off it also," she mentioned in a social media post. 

The comedian was admitted to the All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) hospital on August 10, after suffering a heart attack while working out. He died at the hospital weeks later.
