I moved to Mumbai less than a month ago, 28 years ago .. so no emails , letters .. of course, after that, a lot of TV, some movies, commercials, musical theatre, Radio, TikTok, Reels… it’s been a beautiful journey with ups and downs.. God has been kind.. but this Dhurandhared… I don’t know what the future holds… but I want to thank my 23-year-old self and Mahur’s support for being hopeful and not hopeless.“The letters offer a candid look at his early struggles and ambitions. In one, he wrote: “Dear Mom and Dad, how are you? I’m doing very well here. Money wise nothing has materialised, but I hope to do well soon. There is a lot of work here compared to Delhi.” He continued: “In the morning, I meet a lot of people for work and in the evenings they do my rehearsals. The play is the musical ‘Man Of La Mancha’. It’s a very popular musical and it’s a prestigious group.“Elaborating on his modest living conditions, he added, “The place where I am staying is a small hut and it will be easy on the pocket too. If one thousand rupees are shared by me and Rajesh we can even give 11 months rent all at once. Other expenses include telephone, electricity, gas and water bills and food. Mom and Dad, the future is bright but I still have a lot to learn. It takes time to meet the right people, so please understand. I’ll be heavy on your pocket, but trust me, not for long.“The post struck a chord with many, including his Dhurandhar 2 co-star Aditya Uppal, who tweeted, “bhai yar It got me teary man @gauravgera.” Naveen Kaushi wrote, “Aur tab pata na tha ki aapki kahani itni khuubsoorat ho jayegi ek din.” Karan V Grover shared, “Great trip… Happy for you .
