“YUG GREW INSIDE ME”: Raghav Juyal on Gyarah Gyarah’s one year anniversary

For years, Raghav Juyal was celebrated as the entertainer who lit up every frame—his signature slow-mo dance moves and effortless comic timing made him a crowd favorite. But one year ago, everything changed. With the release of Kill & then Gyarah Gyarah, the spotlight shifted—and so did the story.

In the series, audiences met a version of Raghav they hadn’t seen before: quiet, grounded, and arrestingly still. As Inspector Yug Arya, he didn’t play to the gallery. He pulled viewers in, not with flamboyance, but with restraint—and the impact was undeniable.

“The uniform changed how I spoke, how I stood, how I listened. It carried weight—even in silence. I wasn’t just solving a case on screen. I was solving how people saw me. I had to unlearn the performer in me to find the stillness of Yug. Slowly, he grew inside me. His silences, his still gaze, his posture—they stayed with me, even off set. I felt like I owed the uniform, and the man wearing it, a certain respect.” – Raghav Juyal

Gyarah Gyarah wasn’t just another credit on his filmography—it became a pivot. While the show featured a compelling ensemble and layered storytelling, Raghav’s performance emerged as yet another breakthrough after Kill—quietly redefining his screen identity.
