Actor Raghav Juyal said in an interview that surviving in Bollywood without industry support requires a strong sense of self‑confidence and a willingness to believe in oneself.
Raghav Juyal, known for his roles in films such as "Kahaani" and "Jab Tak Hai Jaan", spoke candidly about his career trajectory in a recent interview with BollywoodHungama. He explained that early in his career he did not have the backing of a major production house or a powerful family connection.
Juyal said that in such circumstances, a performer must cultivate a strong sense of self‑confidence and a belief in their own talent. "You need complete delusion," he remarked, meaning that one must fully trust their own abilities to navigate the competitive industry.
He added that perseverance and a willingness to take risks were also key factors that helped him secure roles and stay relevant. Juyal’s comments highlight the challenges faced by many aspiring actors who enter Bollywood without established support networks.
Industry observers note that while talent remains essential, the ability to self‑promote and maintain confidence can be decisive in a field where connections often play a major role.
