Raghav Juyal Biography

Raghav Juyal is an Indian dancer, choreographer, actor and television presenter who gained national attention through reality TV. Famous for his slow‑mo/’C

Early life and background

Raghav Juyal was born on 10 July 1991 in Khetu village near Dehradun, Uttarakhand, into a middle‑class family. His father, Deepak Juyal, worked as a lawyer and his mother, Alka Bakshi Juyal, was a homemaker. Raghav has a younger brother named Yashasvi Juyal. He attended Doon International School in Dehradun and later completed a Bachelor of Commerce at DAV College, Uttarakhand.

From childhood he was known more for his playfulness and dance than for academics. He taught himself dance by watching performances on television rather than taking formal training, and early on developed a distinctive slow‑motion style that would come to define his public persona.

Career

Raghav first reached national visibility with his 2012 audition for Dance India Dance (DID) Season 3. Although he was initially eliminated, a video of his audition went viral online and led to a wild‑card entry into the show. His inventive slow‑motion moves and comic timing quickly made him popular with judges and audiences; he finished the season as second runner‑up and became widely associated with the nickname "Slow Motion King" and the handle "Crockroaxz." The moniker Crockroaxz is described as a blend of crocodile and cockroach.

After DID, Raghav continued to build a career in dance television. He served as skipper on DID Little Masters Season 2 with a team called Raghav's Rockstars, and later captained the winning team on Zee TV's Dance Ke Superkids. He transitioned into television hosting, becoming a regular presenter on Dance Plus; his work on that series raised his profile significantly and he hosted all six seasons of the show.

Raghav has also worked in films, beginning with a small role in Sonali Cable (2014). He went on to play a more substantial role in ABCD 2 (2015), directed by Remo D'Souza, which featured established performers such as Prabhu Deva, Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor. He appeared in other film projects in supporting roles, including small parts in Street Dancer and Bahut Hua Samman, and has taken part in music videos. On television he has appeared as a guest on Bigg Boss seasons 13 and 14, competed on Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 7, and hosted numerous award shows.

Public profile

Raghav's appealing combination of dance skill, comic presence and on‑screen chemistry with colleagues such as Shakti Mohan has contributed to a strong fan following. He is widely recognized for his slow‑motion dance style, which remains closely linked to his public image. Raghav has described nature and his upbringing in Uttarakhand as central influences on his dancing.

He enjoys dancing, travelling and music, and has named Shahrukh Khan, Morgan Freeman and Johnny Depp among his favourite actors, with Anushka Sharma as a favourite actress. His preferred food includes Gujarati cuisine. Physical attributes mentioned in public profiles list his height at 5 feet 10 inches and weight around 68 kg.

Raghav also draws a substantial social media audience. The available figures indicate a sizable following across platforms, reflecting his status as a mainstream reality‑television personality and performer.

Latest updates

Beyond dance shows, Raghav has broadened his career into acting and hosting, while remaining visible on reality television and in occasional film roles. He has been noted for moments of generosity on stage; one reported instance involved providing financial assistance to a contestant in need during a Dance Plus season. Raghav continues to be active in entertainment, moving between judging, hosting and performance roles while maintaining the signature slow‑motion style that first brought him fame.
