On Dec 25, 1963, in the city of Kanpur in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Raju was born to middle-class parents who would later give him the name “Gajodhar” for his theatrical persona. Ramesh Chandra Srivastava Sr. was a poet like his son. Even as a young child, he showed promise as a mimic.
Raju made a name for himself as a stand-up comedian thanks to his sharp wit and ability to poke fun at serious topics. His breakthrough came in 2005 when he hosted the premiere season of the groundbreaking stand-up comedy talent hunt show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge.
Movies he was in include “Maine Pyar Kiya,” “Baazigar,” “Bombay to Goa” (remake), and “Aamdani Atthani Kharcha Rupaiya,” all of which are in the Hindi language. He participated in the third season of “Bigg Boss.” In that role, he led the Uttar Pradesh Film Development Council.
