The letter – penned by actor who astonished all with his serious performance in the Aditya Dhar films, began as, “Dear Mumma and Papa, How are you guys? I’m really well over here. Nothing has materialized on the money front for me but I hope to do well soon. There’s a lot of work here compared to Delhi.” It further read, “In the mornings, I meet various people for work and evenings have my rehearsals. The play is a musical “Man Of La Mancha.” It’s a very well-known musical and it’s a prestigious group to be associated with.”

Gaurav: It Does Take Time To Know The Right People

After sharing a couple of details about the play and who is part of it, Gaurav Gera’s note read, “The place I stay in is a small cottage and will be easy on the pocket also. Thousand rupees if me and Rajesh share we can give 11 months’ rent in a go also. Other expenses include telephone, electricity, gas and water bills, food and transport. It’d be really nice if I had a bike. Now I’m getting to like the city, nothing too great though.”
