<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nRaghav Juyal<\/a>, who rose to major prominence last year with Netflix\u2019s The Ba*ds of Bollywood, created and directed by Aryan Khan<\/a>, recently opened up about the filmmaker\u2019s reserved public persona. Having shared a close friendship with Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>\u2019s son for years, Raghav addressed the question that has often sparked curiosity online\u2014why Aryan rarely smiles in front of the cameras.Raghav said in an interview with Pinkvilla, \u201cHe doesn\u2019t want to fake it, and I don\u2019t think he wants to put on an act. That\u2019s just who he is, and I think he should be allowed to be that way. He\u2019s incredibly creative, free-flowing, and kind. That\u2019s his nature.\u201dHe also shared that Aryan\u2019s personality behind closed doors is very different from what people see in public. \u201cIf he doesn\u2019t want to smile, that\u2019s his choice. At home, he laughs, jokes around, and has fun,\u201d Raghav added.In the same interview, Raghav responded to speculation about his relationship with actor Shehnaaz Gill after she publicly expressed support for his upcoming film. Putting the rumours to rest, he emphasised that they share a deep friendship rooted in trust and mutual care.\u201cWe\u2019re family. She\u2019s like family to me. She\u2019s someone who leads with her heart. Ever since I met her during the making of Bhaijaan, we\u2019ve always been there for each other. If anything ever happens, I know she\u2019ll be there for me, and I\u2019ll be there for her. We\u2019re like family. We share a wonderful friendship, and that\u2019s something I want to preserve,\u201d he said.Raghav also reflected on the viral clip from earlier this month that showed him protecting Shehnaaz as fans crowded around her. Explaining why he reacted the way he did, the actor credited his upbringing.\u201cMy parents raised me to be a man. If you had been there with me, or any woman, and a group of men had pounced on her, I was brought up to throw a solid punch if needed. That\u2019s how I\u2019ve been raised. I can\u2019t be that detached, urban guy who just stands by. I couldn\u2019t do it. I will protect till my death, my friends, my family, and any woman I\u2019m with. Whether it\u2019s you or any other woman, that\u2019s simply my nature,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
