‘I was deeply in love once…’: Gaurav Gera on heartbreak and why he doesn’t want to marry Gaurav Gera, known for his role as Aalam in the film Dhurandhar, recently shared insights into his personal life and career journey during an interview with Humans of Bombay. The actor opened up about a past heartbreak that reshaped his perspective on love and relationships, explaining why he has chosen to avoid marriage. “There was a time I was very deeply in love. After that, I never wanted to go back to it. I don’t want to make anyone so important that they have the power to hurt me,” he said, reflecting on the emotional scars left by the experience. Gera also addressed the dynamics of relationships, noting his observations about how women often move on from romantic entanglements, while some individuals may not be as invested. “I feel women move on. Some people are players—it doesn’t affect them,” he remarked, highlighting his guarded approach to emotional connections. When asked about the idea of attention and desirability, he humorously noted that his public image has shifted over time. “Even before Dhurandhar, I used to get female attention. Now I just look like an uncle,” he joked, acknowledging the change in how he is perceived. The actor’s career trajectory began in the world of dance, which he described as his initial source of income. “I started as a dancer—that was my source of income,” he recalled. After relocating to Mumbai, Gera landed his first television role in Life Nahi Ladoo, where he played the titular character. The show, which aired during prime time on a major channel, marked a significant milestone in his career. “It was prime time, on a prime channel, and my first show itself.#dhurandhar_the_revenge #gaurav_gera #humans_of_bombay #kingdom_of_dreams #life_nahi_ladoo
