Raghav Juyal it is well known that in today’s world driven by social media, the lives of celebrities are under constant public scrutiny, that online trolling is now par for the course. But unlike many stars who call out the pressures of this review, Juyal shares his opinion about pap culture. The actor has been candid about his relationship with the paparazzi, sharing that he has nurtured long-term relationships with some of them over the years.
Raghav Juyal’s balance of pap culture
Talking to Bollywood Bubbles about today’s pap culture, the pressure that comes with it, and constant online trolling, Raghav Juyal replied, “Haan, nahi. Main toh sochta hoon sabka apna open point of view hai. Jo bhi likhna hai, likho. Aur paps ke saath toh sab mere dost hi hain. Main unhe itne saalon se janta hoon. Kisi ko toh maine bada hote hue dekha hai. Umar mein bhi hum saath-saath hi bade hue hain, aur career mein bhi saath hi grow kiya hai. Toh woh bond toh rehta hi hai. But comments-vomments par main itna dhyaan nahi deta. Main un par zyada focus nahi karta. Aur kitno ko kya kar loge? Jo log comments kar rahe hain, woh karte rahenge. Hamari panaw bahut alag hai. Har kisi ki journey aur mehnat alag hoti hai. But we can’t stop everything. It doesn’t matter.” (Well, I feel like everyone is entitled to their own opinion. People can write whatever they want. As for the paparazzi, they’re all my friends; I’ve known them for years. I’ve even watched some of them grow up. We’ve grown up together—in age and in our careers—so that bond is definitely there. And how many people can you deal with? Those who have left comments will continue to do so. Our journeys are very different; The path and hard work of each one is unique. But we can’t stop everything. Doesn’t matter.)
Raghav Juyal for staying relevant
When asked how important it is for actors to stay relevant, Raghav said, “Yaar, I have been relevant for more than a decade. So I think that agar aapka kaam sahi hai aur aap mein khud ko reinvent karne ki capacity hai. Then you will stay relevant. The color related rehne ke aur bhi bahut tareeke hote hain. But if you want to do the real thing, do it yourself and keep changing yourself—as a person and as a person to stay relevant. Your audience grows with you. Mujhe yaad hai, Kill tak aur usse pehle jab maine Sab Bhula Ke kiya tha, jo audience mujhe 2011 mein dekhti thi, woh tab chhoti thi. Aaj unki shaadi ho gayi hai, unke bachche ho gaye hain. Sabki zindagi badal gayi hai. But the thing is, woh audience achanak se phir se connect ho gayi. Aur ab unke bachche bhi mujhe dekh rahe hain. Unke liye main and actor hoon. Aur jo aaj to the youth hain, unke liye bhi bhi main ek actor hoon—ya phir woh chilled-out person who interviewed deta hai. Lekin jo meri purani audience thi, woh dobara jaag gayi because of my dancing days. I think a face se meri relevance aur zyada spread hui hai. Aur yeh bahut zaroori hai, yaar.” (I’ve stayed relevant for over a decade. I believe that if your work is solid and you have the capacity to reinvent yourself, you’ll stay relevant. Of course, there are other ways to stay relevant as well, but if you want to do real work, you have to focus on your craft and keep reinventing yourself—both as an artist and as a person. Your audience evolves with you. Watching me in 2011 was still young. Now, they are married and have children; everyone’s life changed. But the thing is, that audience suddenly connected with me. And now, their children look up to me too. For them, I am an artist. To today’s youth, I’m also an actor—or maybe that chilled-out person who gives interviews. But my old audience is coming back again because of my dancing days. I think that’s why my relevance is still spreading. And that’s really important, man.)The actor concluded, “Industry, studios aur producers aapko kitna bhi push kar lein, lekin agar aap audience se connect nahi karte, toh kuch bhi nahi hoga. Chahe kitna bhi paisa laga lo—even if I spend crores of rupees—it won’t happen. meri journey dekhi hai. Aur phir woh connection ban jaata hai. Fortunately, all these things really worked in my life.” (No matter how much the industry, studios, and producers push you, if you don’t connect with the audience, nothing will happen. You can invest any amount of money—even if I spend crores of rupees—it won’t work. A connection with the audience comes from the heart; it is a deeply heart-driven people It is a deeply heart-driven people It is a deeply heart-driven people It is a deeply heart-driven people It is a deeply heart-driven people. brothers, cousins, or children of Gen Z about me, and that’s how the connection is formed.
