The Relentless Rise of Raghav Juyal: From Reality TV to Global Recognition

Raghav Juyal’s story is one of grit, quirks, and sheer reinvention. For most of us, he’ll always be Crockroaxz, the lanky contestant whose slow-motion moves on Dance India Dance 3 stunned the country back in 2012.


But beyond the viral fame, Raghav dared to dream bigger. His journey from a rejected contestant to one of television’s most beloved hosts and now a critically acclaimed Bollywood actor is nothing short of remarkable.

Bollywood wasn’t easy on him. Raghav made his debut in 2014 with Sonali Cable—a film that barely made a mark at the box office. For many newcomers, that would have been the end of the road, but Raghav refused to slow down.

He chipped away with supporting roles in films like ABCD 2 and Street Dancer 3D, while continuing to build his presence on TV. Yet, it wasn’t until Nikhil Nagesh Bhat’s Kill that the world truly sat up and took notice.

In Kill, Raghav shed every trace of his goofy on-screen persona to transform into “Fani,” a cold-blooded antagonist who shocked audiences with his raw intensity. The performance not only earned him an IIFA Award for Best Negative Role but also put him on the international map.

Fast forward to 2025, and Raghav has once again captured the spotlight—this time with Aryan Khan’s debut series The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Sharing screen space with Lakshya, Raghav’s performance has become one of the show’s biggest talking points.

From being dismissed as a reality-show entertainer to now owning layered characters on the big and small screen, his career arc reflects resilience and evolution in its truest form.
