Raghav Juyal recalls living with ten people in a room during his struggle days: ‘We used to store our undergarments in a broken fridge’

“When I arrived, I had nothing. But I also used to enjoy that phase. I was never sad, thinking, ‘Oh, see, I have nothing.’ I enjoyed everything to the fullest. I had the best time eating vada pavs. When I was a dancer, I used to live with ten boys in one room. Our fridge didn’t work, so we used to store our undergarments in it and use it as a cupboard. So, if someone visited us and opened the fridge by mistake, they’d be stunned to see undergarments inside.”

Raghav had earlier shared another candid memory in a conversation with NDTV, recalling his first visit to Mannat, the iconic sea-facing home of Shah Rukh Khan. “The first time I entered Mannat, there was a scanner like the ones at the airport,” Raghav recalled, adding, “I had to go through it because people were like, ‘Who is this guy? Has someone come to find work?’” He laughed as he remembered asking Aryan where his room was once he stepped inside, only for Aryan to simply laugh it off. Now, Raghav is reportedly part of Siddharth Anand’s highly anticipated actioner King, in which Shah Rukh Khan plays the titular role. It’s a project that, as Raghav hinted in recent interviews, came his way after Shah Rukh was deeply impressed by his performance in The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
