If you grew up watching Indian reality TV, chances are Raghav Juyal wasn’t just another contestant to you. He was the contestant. The guy with the slow-motion dance moves that nobody could copy, the effortless comic timing, and that endearing charm which made him everyone’s favourite without even trying. Years later, he’s no longer just “the DID guy.” He’s an actor who has spent 16 years building a career brick by brick, and now, with Bhai Tera Star Hai, he’s finally stepping into the spotlight as a lead. Raghav Juyal recently appeared on Sunday Brunch with Kamiya Jani alongside his co-star Niharika NM, where the duo dug into a proper South Indian feast while chatting about films, life, and everything in between.
Raghav Juyal Opens Up About Never Fearing Lack Of Work
Somewhere between the dosas and the conversation, the episode delivered a moment that felt far bigger than a movie promotion.
Kamiya Jani, our Editor-in-Chief, observed something that perfectly summed up Raghav Juyal’s career. She pointed out that he’s one of those rare people who never seem to stay the same for too long. Every few months, audiences discover a different version of him. First he became India’s favourite dancer. Then came hosting gigs, comedy, acting, darker roles, and now a full-fledged leading man. That naturally led to a question many people working in creative fields secretly wrestle with.
“Kabhi darr nahi lagta ki kaam nahi milega?”
Most people would probably admit that yes, the uncertainty gets scary; Raghav Juyal didn’t. Instead, he smiled and said something so matter-of-fact that it almost catches you off guard.
“I will always find work.”

From Dancer To Leading Man: A 16-Year Journey Of Reinvention
Not because he believes luck will magically work in his favour. He believes that if you’re genuinely well-crafted, work has a funny way of finding you.
It’s an interesting perspective coming from someone who’s seen almost every side of the entertainment industry. Raghav Juyal didn’t become a leading actor overnight. There were years when he was known more for dancing than acting, then years when audiences loved him as a host, followed by films where he played supporting characters. Bhai Tera Star Hai marks a different chapter altogether, one that arrives after nearly 16 years of steadily proving himself instead of demanding the spotlight.
According to Raghav Juyal, fear has never been allowed to sit in the driver’s seat. He doesn’t make career decisions because he’s scared of losing relevance or missing out on work. If something feels right, he goes for it. If it doesn’t, he lets it pass.
