The journey from Satya Prakash Srivastava to Raju Srivastava?

How did you get the Great Indian Laughter Challenge show?

Responding to this, Raju said, "I did not want to do this show earlier because at that time my cassettes and laughter shows were very popular in the market. At that time no one knew about that show 'Great Indian Laughter Challenge'. How could I go to a show about which no one knew anything?" Not only this, Raju said that I was not known for this show because at that time Star One was being launched with that show and there were new artists in it. During this time, the director of that show told Raju that what is seen sells. After this I entered this show.
