After death of partner Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal in 1971 Raghuwanshi continued to sign
work with joint names.
He was both a trained wrestler and a dancer.
Only his family attended the funeral. The media, as well as the film industry, got to know about his death only after the cremation...
The film industry was hardly present at his funeral, thus reinforcing the stereotype of its fickle-natured loyalties, when compared to Jaikishan's death in 1971, which drew the entire film industry.
At The Prithvi Theatre that he learnt to play and mastered several other instruments like sitar, accordion and piano etc.
