When asked about his experience of working with Amitabh Bachchan on Kaun Banega Crorepati, Raghav M Jairath said, “Working with Amitabh Bachchan is like attending a masterclass in professionalism every single day. His preparation, respect for the crew, and command over space are deeply inspiring. What stands out most is his sincerity. He takes time to understand contestants, their emotions, and their stories. Even iconic monologues feel fresh every time he performs them. His presence fills the entire space with energy and purpose. Every interaction with him teaches you something new.”

As for working with Aamir Khan on Satyamev Jayate, Raghav M Jairath revealed, “Satyamev Jayate was a life-changing experience. Working with Aamir Khan, I learned how to handle deeply sensitive social issues with empathy, honesty, and restraint. One moment that stayed with me was when a participant shared her traumatic journey. Aamir was so emotionally affected that the shoot had to be paused because both of them couldn’t stop crying. That level of emotional involvement defines him as a human being and storyteller.”

He added, “From that show, I learned the importance of finding the human emotion in every story. If that emotion doesn’t come through on screen, the scene needs to be redone, no matter how many takes it takes.”
