The post further reads, “But we know Rajesh—he isn’t someone who stays down. This is the same soul who made us laugh, cheer, and dance; the same heartbeat that kept a crowd alive. He doesn’t belong to a hospital bed—he belongs on stage, in our lives, in our laughter.”

If we hold him in our hearts with faith, he will rise again. He has to. Because someone like Rajesh can never leave halfway through the show.”
