Raghav JuyalThose who are from Uttarakhand often miss the long drives back home. Now living in Mumbai, the actor makes an effort to return to his hometown whenever possible, especially to be out on the streets with his friends. He admits that life in Mumbai comes with its challenges. “I am a mountain driver,” says Raghav. Elaborating on driving in Mumbai, he says, “The experience of driving in Mumbai is very different. The city is very congested. It has taught me to be patient. I enjoy driving in Mumbai on Sundays. I drive to SoBo, eat kebabs and come back. I don’t drive much in Mumbai. I just sit in the back seat and get busy on my phone.”However, when he came back to Uttarakhand, things were very different. The Bollywood actor enjoys traveling and driving with his friends. Although the roads are wide and safe today, he remembers a time when driving there was much more dangerous. He says, “I learned to drive a Willys jeep. There’s no hand brake. The Tab roads were also very different… a little mistake, and you went straight down. So, all those experiences have made me a practical driver.”“Apart from cars, Raghav is also fond of riding bikes and has done many sightseeing tours. “I hit the road with my bike in places like Nepal, Bhutan and parts of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim.”Talking about the places in Mumbai where he likes to drive, he says, “In Mumbai, I also drive to Atal Setu, Lokhandwala Backroad, in the city… It gives me vintage vibes. Whenever my friends from Dehradun come to Mumbai, I take them on Mumbai darshan. They get happy seeing the auto rickshaws, they say how they keep making flies.”
