It’s a very heavy tag for an actor. ‘Gaurav is unlucky, Gaurav is jinxed, don’t cast him.’ A guy leaves everything behind and lives in Mumbai, looking for work).”

Woh mera fear hai, main koi bhi audition deta hoon mujhe aaj bhi lagta hai ki yaar, agar yeh show nahi chala toh again that medal they will give me ki yaar iske shows nahi chalte (Whatever the reason, whenever a show worked, the credit always went to everyone else, but when a show tanked, it was always, ‘Gaurav is unlucky, he’s jinxed.’ That’s my fear, even today, whenever I audition for something, I think, ‘What if this show doesn’t work? They’ll put that medal on me again — that Gaurav’s shows don’t work’).”
