rumours surrounding Raghav Juyal and Shehnaaz Gill once again become a talking point after the duo was spotted together at the actor's birthday celebration in Mumbai. Videos of Raghav holding Shehnaaz's hand and guiding her through a crowd of paparazzi quickly went viral, prompting speculation about the nature of their relationship. Now, in an exclusive conversation with Zoom, Raghav has addressed the buzz, describing Shehnaaz as someone who is 'heart-driven' and comparing their bond to the friendships he has shared with his childhood friends for years.
Raghav Juyal compares Shehnaaz Gill to his childhood friends
Speaking exclusively to Zoom, Raghav Juyal dismissed the speculation surrounding his bond with Shehnaaz Gill by describing it as a genuine friendship built on trust and shared values. Calling Shehnaaz "heart-driven," the actor said he looks at their friendship in the same way he values the bonds he has maintained with friends from his childhood.
"I look at that friendship the same way I look at my friendship with my school friends like Ishaan and people who are true to me. People who are true, honest and heart-driven connect with me," he said. Elaborating further, Raghav added, "Jaise mere bachpan ke dost hain, school ke Ishaan hai, sab log hain. Main sabke naam le nahi paunga, but Dehradun ki jo dosti hai, jo bachpan ki dosti hai, woh bachpan ki rehti hai yaar. Woh alag hai. Toh woh waisa hi hai."(Translation - Just like my childhood friends, my school friend Ishaan and so many others - I can't name everyone - but the friendships I made during my childhood in Dehradun will be special forever. They're different from any other bond. That's exactly how this friendship is too.)
Raghav Juyal takes a subtle dig at dating rumours
The actor also appeared to address the ongoing dating speculation with a light-hearted remark. Without directly referring to the rumours, he suggested that other people may choose to interpret their friendship differently, but he personally does not judge it that way. "Hamara toh judgment nahi hai, baakiyon ka pata nahi. Hamara toh nahi hai," he said with a smile.
Raghav Juyal also spoke about the now-viral video from his birthday celebration, where he was seen holding Shehnaaz's hand and helping her move safely through a crowd gathered outside the venue. Explaining his actions, he said it reflected the values he had grown up with. "That's the thing. Jis tareeke se aapko aapki taleem mili hai, aapko aapke ghar se, ya phir aap jis tarah ke aap ho... you are protective and provider, still keeping kindness in mind." He added that he would have done that for any lady.Watch the full chat here:

For the uninitiated,
Shehnaaz Gill recently attended Raghav Juyal's birthday celebration in Mumbai, which was also attended by several members of the entertainment industry. However, it was their exit from the venue that grabbed the most attention online. Videos showed Raghav holding Shehnaaz's hand as he guided her through a crowd of fans and photographers before the pair made their way to their car. The actors first developed a friendship while working together in Salman Khan's 2023 film
Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Their recent public appearance reignited dating rumours that were rampant during the film's release too. However, both have maintained that they are good friends.
