Veteran actor Raghubir Yadav has seen a resurgence in recognition with his role as 'Pradhan Ji' in the popular OTT series 'Panchayat.' Despite a career that spans decades across film, theater, and television, Yadav has found a special connection with audiences through this character. Speaking from Varanasi, where he is currently filming, Yadav revealed how deeply 'Panchayat' has resonated with viewers, making him a household name once again.

Born in a melody-infused village in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur district, Yadav's creative journey began in local functions and Parsi theater, before moving on to the prestigious National School of Drama in Delhi. His career took off with standout roles in 'Massey Sahib' and 'Mungeri Lal Ke Haseen Sapne,' leading to a lasting impact on parallel cinema and theater.

Yadav remains cautious about his current success, focusing on maintaining the quality of 'Panchayat.' His dedication to his craft is unwavering, as demonstrated by his reluctance to accept roles that don't align with his artistic integrity, despite lucrative offers. With upcoming stage shows in Delhi, Yadav continues to explore new creative avenues, staying true to his roots and passion for storytelling.
