Raghav Juyal is getting a lot of love for his role of Parvez in Aryan Khan's directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The show, streaming on Netflix India, is a satire in which Raghav plays the best friend of the protagonist Aasman (Lakshya), a rising Bollywood actor. Raghav has been an actor for over a decade, but this was the first time his road led to Mannat, the palatial sea-side abode of Aryan and his father 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 couldn't help but ask Aryan where his room was once he entered the building. However, Aryan just laughed it off. "By mistake, I asked Aryan which was his room. Then I realised, this is Shah Rukh Khan’s house — you don’t have rooms here, you have full floors. Aryan just laughed and said, ‘Come, let’s go up.’ We sat there and jammed, and later went out for dinner with his friends," Raghav told NDTV. Raghav was so pumped up after that visit that he immediately called up his mother. "I told her, ‘Mummy, I just came from Mannat.’ She got so excited and started asking, ‘How is it from inside? How is their bathroom? Did you see the library?’ I had to tell her, ‘Mummy, I didn’t go there as a broker, please relax!'" [youtube ] In an interview with SCREEN, Raghav had revealed that he's from a family of SRKians. Everyone, including his mother and aunts are fans of Shah Rukh Khan. "It's a huge deal for me. I'm a jabra, diehard fan. All of us are fans, but I proudly claim I'm his biggest fan. I even belong to a family of SRKians. We've been making his fan accounts since Orkut days. Whenever I've worked with him, I've always felt it's a surreal dream. This time was no different. I'm sure this will keep happening again and again," said Raghav.

That film is also produced by Shah Rukh's banner Red Chillies Entertainment. "My first meeting with Shah Rukh sir was years ago when I did a dance in Happy New Year (2014). Then I used to keep meeting him in the shows I hosted. But this was the first time I was in direct contact with Aryan. I was selected after an audition, and the rest is history," Raghav had told SCREEN.
