Summary: Raghav reflects on bonding with Shah Rukh Khan’s family, choosing strong scripts, and his hilarious Emraan moment.
Raghav Juyal is having one of those “pinch-me” moments. Between The Bads of Bollywood and his upcoming film King, he’s now the first actor to work with Shah Rukh Khan’s entire family — and that fact isn’t lost on him. He jokes he’s waiting for SRK to adopt him already.
On The Bads of Bollywood, for example, Raghav says many comedic scenes were made up on the spot. They share a wavelength — one imagines Aryan playing out an idea, Raghav matching the vibe, improv flying, laughter everywhere.
Raghav traces this rise back to Kill, a film that opened doors. He says after that, the scripts came flooding in — but he’s become more selective. “I only want stories that mean something,” he says. When he was a side dancer in ABCD 2, just getting camera time was enough. Now, he wants to be the lead in ABCD 3 and more.
Then there’s the Emraan Hashmi scene, which caught everyone’s eye. In The Bads of Bollywood, there’s a moment where Raghav sings “Kaho Naa Kaho” (from Murder) in front of Emraan sir. The whole crew was cracking up behind the scenes — Aryan couldn’t stop covering his mouth.
But Emraan stayed in character, nailed the seriousness, even as the mood around him was anything but. That mix of respect, fun, and surprise really struck Raghav.
He is proud of where he began, humble about where he is now, and ambitious about where he wants to go. Not in a spectacular way, but more like someone slowly developing something long-lasting.
