When Raghav Juyal was asked to do ‘slo-mo’ dance on Mumbai roads
Mumbai: Actor Raghav Juyal, who is popularly known as the ‘King of Slow Motion’ in dance, has shared an incident when he was stopped by the cops.
The actor-dancer recently appeared on the comedy show ‘Aapka Apna Zakir’, and spoke about the fact that he could never leave behind his identity as the slow motion dancer.
The actor said on the show, “This incident is very old, around the time when the dance show that I participated in became a huge thing. Once I was stopped by the cops at an intersection”.
Raghav, who went by his stage name ‘Crockroaxz’, then said, “They told me, ‘Hey! Cockroach?’. They asked me to get out of my car, I told them, ‘Sir, I have all the documents with me, you may check’. But all they wanted was to see me dance in slow motion. It was a heavily barricaded place and vehicles were lined-up, in such a situation, I performed the slow-motion dance that they wanted me to do”.
Raghav rose to prominence after he participated in the dance reality show ‘Dance India Dance 3’. He was the finalist of the show in season 3. He went on to serve as the skipper for the team Raghav Ke Rockstars in ‘Dance India Dance Li’l Masters 2’ and ‘Dance Ke Superkids’ where his team was declared the winner under his captainship.
He then ventured into films, and made his debut with ‘Sonali Cable’ in 2014. He worked on films like ‘ABCD 2’, ‘Street Dancer 3D’ and ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ last year.
Recently, his action movie ‘Kill’, in which he essayed the role of an antagonist, received great response from the audience and the critics alike. He was praised for his role of Fani, the leader of a gang of knife-wielding bandits who terrorise a train.
