17th April 2023, Mumbai: Raghav Juyal’s exceptional dance talent, which captured the hearts of many during his appearance on Dance India Dance, has made him a popular figure among the masses. He has continued to win over audiences with his performances in movies like Street Dancer 3D and Bahut Hua Samman. In his next project, Kisi Ki Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, alongside Salman Khan, Raghav will be playing a significant role. He shares insights on his rapport with Salman, navigating the challenges of being an outsider in the industry, and collaborating with Guneet Monga, an Oscar-winning producer.
Raghav, who began his career as a contestant on a reality show, has made significant progress since then. Despite facing rejection from the judges, he quickly gained a large fan base as his unique style became popular among audiences. As a result, he has hosted numerous dance reality shows. In the current scenario, where the topic of “outsiders vs insiders” is gaining traction, Raghav is of the opinion that there are ample opportunities available for outsiders in the industry.
Raghav believes that there are ample opportunities for outsiders in the entertainment industry, provided they put in the effort to develop their skills and talent. If an individual’s goal is to succeed as an actor and do good work, they must put in the necessary work, such as reading plays, participating in workshops, practicing acting exercises, and appearing for auditions. Raghav himself intends to continue auditioning for acting roles as he believes it is the only way to progress and improve as an actor. He compares the journey to a marathon, stating that one must constantly work on their craft to become successful in the long run.
According to Raghav, his journey has only just begun, and he does not believe in glorifying the struggles he has faced. He started his career as a background dancer and also worked as a studio manager in Mumbai. Although he has acted in a few films, he feels that his journey has truly taken off with Kisi Ki Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, where he has had the privilege of working with Salman Khan. Raghav has worked on several exciting projects, and he feels fortunate to be in a good place in his career.
Recently, Raghav’s camaraderie with Salman Khan on the set of their upcoming movie has been the talk of the town, with their playful antics going viral on social media. Raghav shares that Salman is a lot of fun, especially when he is around. He has visited Salman’s farmhouse multiple times and continues to do so. Being an outsider himself, hailing from a small town in Uttarakhand, Raghav feels incredibly fortunate to have worked with Salman Khan, a superstar of the industry. The fact that Salman chose to work with him and trusted his abilities is still surreal to Raghav. When he received the call from Salman, Raghav didn’t think twice before accepting the offer. He comes from a middle-class family where they still talk about Salman’s movies, so to be a part of a Salman Khan film is a dream come true for him.
