Raj Singh Arora
TV actor

"Priya (Anvesha) is a very good actor and a great person. But she wouldn't be so popular without (her) great co-stars, especially me, to complement her"

Chinki > How old are you? Besides acting, what are your qualifications?
Raj Singh Arora > I cannot reveal my age as I am bound by my contract not to reveal my age. I have done Law from Symbiosis College, Pune.

Remixcrazy > Hi Raj! How do you feel about your character "Yuvi" in the serial Remix ? How much do you relate to it?
Raj Singh Arora > I am completely opposite Yuvi. I am not like him. In real life I am very sober, quiet and love to spend time watching movies and reading books. But some where down the line, since I have played the character for nearly a year now, a lot of Yuvi has come in to Raj and a lot of Raj has gone into Yuvi.

Chinki > Do you have any girlfriend?
Raj Singh Arora > Good question. I do love someone a lot but that should not deter you from liking me.

Kareena > Did you always want to be an actor? When is your birthday? Where were you born and brought up?
Raj Singh Arora > Yes, I decided to be an actor from the time I was nine years old. I am a Libran and birthday is on the 26th of September. I was born in Jammu, but lived all over India; primarily, in Mumbai.

Saumya > Hi! Your character of "Yuvi" is like that of a rock star. How similar are you to it? What kind of music do you listen to?
Raj Singh Arora > As I said, I am completely opposite to "Yuvi" but the one similarity between him (Yuvi) and Raj is music. I always wanted to be a VJ in life, which I was for a while. As far as music is concerned, I have a very open mind (in terms of likes and dislikes). Primarily, for the last 3 -4 years, I have been listening to a lot of trans, rock, hard rock.

Remixfan > Hi Raj, what do you do in your free time, if you have any?
Raj Singh Arora > If I have any free time, the most important thing is to sit in front of the TV and watch movies, for three days in a row. That apart, I am well read and love music. Sometimes, I like to cook a little.

Kareena > What would your dream girl be like? Which Hollywood actress would you love to get naughty with?
Raj Singh Arora > None from the media. (I like) A regular girl, who is very pretty and intelligent. Hollywood actress - Natalie Portman and another one would be Rachael Welch.

Abcd > Hi Raj. Will you go into movies?
Raj Singh Arora > Definitely.

Mona > Your co star, Priya Wal, is more popular in the serial. Don't you think you will be overshadowed, in the long run?
Raj Singh Arora > Definitely, out of the four of us she is the most popular. She deserves to be. She is a very good actor and a great person. But I don't think she would be as popular without her great co-stars, especially me, to complement her.

Ash_queenofhearts > Do you have any siblings? Do you get time to spend with your family, once in a while?
Raj Singh Arora > No, I haven't seen my family in the last three-and-a-half years. My younger sister is studying journalism in Delhi, my dad is in the US and mom is back home in Jammu.

Remixfan > How was your time as a VJ? Which do you find better?
Raj Singh Arora > My time as a VJ was my first break. It was great, but acting is definitely far better and superior.

Riya > If you were a female, would you be in love with Yuvi or Raj? Whom would you choose?
Raj Singh Arora > Raj definitely - he is a far more sensitive person.

Shvveta > You starred in a music video. So, was that the starting point of your carrier?
Raj Singh Arora > No, the starting point was the break as MTV-VJ hunt and after I lost the VJ hunt (reached the finals) by one point, I realised the importance of doing music videos. So I did two-three of them.

Kritika245 > What are the real names of "Sid" and "Nakul" (in the serial Remix)? Are you friends in real life?
Raj Singh Arora > We are very good friends in real life. Sid's (real) name is Garauv Gupta and Nakul's is Habib.

Dolly > Does the height difference between you and "Ashi" bother you? That's what we keep noticing.
Raj Singh Arora > Not at all. And she( Priya Wal) is just half an inch taller than me.

Ash_queenofhearts > Would you like to be friends with a simple gurl? Me?? Plz plz plzzzzzz...puhleez.......!
Raj Singh Arora > Yes, I would love to be friends with you - a simple girl.

I_luv_yuvi > Hey Raj, tell me your address plzzzz. Don't worry, I wont go to your place or even send any picture for shaadi (marriage) blah blah. I am 17, and a die-hard fan of yours!! I am completely in love with you dude! Reply plzz. What's your address? If you don't wanna tell then let me know I'll change my question!
Raj Singh Arora > > I will give you my email id, which is [email protected]. Thank you so much and I definitely hope we can meet some day.

Kareena > Hey that's shocking! You haven't seen your family for so long. Is there a rift between you and them?
Raj Singh Arora > Not really. My parents are separated and it's just that I have been very focussed on my work in Mumbai. But my mom and sister have visited me, and my dad is going to come over, in November.

Cool_aankita > Is it fun on the sets of Remix ? If yes, then what kind of fun is it?
Raj Singh Arora > It's an absolute blast. That's all I can say.


Jigs > When you are so fond of music, why didn't you become a singer?
Raj Singh Arora > I wish I had the talent and the gift for it. But all I have is a good ear and a great soul for music.

Dolly > Have you always sported this long hair, or is it in keeping with the current trend of all stars growing their hair - Hrithik and all?
Raj Singh Arora > I have had long hair for the last eight years – I call it the Jim Morrison look.

Anmol > Want to know whether Anvesha and you are going around, off screen?
Raj Singh Arora > No, we are not. We are very professional. We are good friends.

Sign Off Message > Love you all lots and lots, each and every one of you who watch Remix three times a day and especially those of you love "Yuvi" and appreciate his acting. Thank you so much and I genuinely mean this from my heart and my soul. Raj. Om Namah Shiva. God bless you all.
