Gaurav Gera: Rs 84 Left, Father's Rs 2,000 Saved Me
2 Jun
Summary
- Actor Gaurav Gera faced severe financial hardship early in his career.
- He once had only Rs 84 in his bank account.
- His father, a salaried employee, sent him Rs 2,000 to survive.
Actor Gaurav Gera recently shared details about the extreme financial difficulties he faced when he first moved to Mumbai to pursue his acting career. During this challenging phase, Gera's bank account balance dwindled to just Rs 84. He recounted instances where he would walk significant distances when he couldn't afford auto-rickshaw fare.
Despite these lean years, Gera emphasized that he never felt the hardships as an overwhelming burden. His father, an engineer from IIT-BHU and a salaried employee, provided him with financial assistance, sending amounts like Rs 2,000, which was all he could spare. Gera still keeps these letters as a reminder of his father's support.
Gera, who later starred in the Dhurandhar film series, including the sequel, noted that these experiences keep him grounded. He consciously avoids letting his recent popularity inflate his ego. His focus remained on his long-term aspirations, aiming to be a giver rather than a taker.
