‘SRK mujhe adopt karne waale  hain bas’

Akash Bhatnagar (HINDUSTAN TIMES; October 13, 2025)

Actor Raghav Juyal has emerged as a breakout performer from Aryan Khan’s The Ba***ds Of Bollywood. Crediting their collaboration, he says, “Mera aur Aryan ka combination bahut deadly hai. Our thought process is similar in comedy. We created a lot of my scenes on the spot.”

Raghav will be seen in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer King, which also features his daughter Suhana. With Ba***ds and the upcoming film, Raghav has effectively become the first person to work with SRK’s entire family on screen.

“Abhi wo mujhe adopt karne wale hain bas,” he quips, adding, “I have a lot of injuries. So one day, he was asking me about my health. And I told him, ‘Sir, meri saari chotein aapki wali hain, bas aapke jaisa paisa aa jaye aur’, and he started laughing.”

Raghav admits that he is getting recognized as an actor now thanks to Kill (2023). “After Kill, I got 400 scripts. My team got tired going through them, but all I was looking at was the writing and the director. I’ve decided not to take up any work jiska koi kaam na ho,” he says, adding, “I want to be the biggest superstar of the country. I was the side dancer in Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer ABCD 2 (2015). My dream now is to be the lead in ABCD 3.”

‘Hadn’t rehearsed singing scene with Emraan sir’
One of the most viral clips from The Ba***ds Of Bollywood is Raghav serenading actor Emraan Hashmi (playing himself) with Kaho Naa Kaho (Murder, 2004).

“It’s a crazy one. Ab wo gaana mera ban gaya hai,” Raghav shares, adding, “Aryan and I had planned this before, but didn’t rehearse or enact with Emraan sir. He is a serious and committed actor who didn’t break character even when everyone in the crew was laughing. Even Aryan was covering his mouth and laughing throughout the scene.”
