Dipoo Srivastava, also a comedian, said his elder brother is recovering slowly but continues to be unconscious. "The recovery is slow. He will be fine soon. He is stable and on a ventilator. He is still unconscious. It's been 35 days but doctors are saying they are doing their best. We need all your prayers," Dipoo told PTI.

When asked if the family was planning to shift the comedian to any other hospital in Mumbai, where Srivastava resides, Dipoo said there were no such plans. "He will be treated at AIIMS and we will take him home after he has recovered. We have faith in the doctors," he added.
