Actor Gaurav Gera has been receiving attention for his performance as Aalam Bhai in Aditya Dhar’s two-part franchise Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge. As the sequel continues its theatrical run following its March 19 release, the actor revisited memories from the early days of his career by sharing handwritten letters he had sent to his parents shortly after moving to Mumbai in 1998.
Taking to social media, Gaurav posted photographs of the notes written nearly a month after he relocated from Delhi to pursue acting. Reflecting on the passage of time, he wrote that it had been 28 years since he first shared those updates with his family, describing the journey since then as filled with both challenges and milestones across television, films, advertising, theatre, radio, and digital platforms.
In his caption, he wrote, “This letter to my parents – 3rd Dec 1998 .. less than a month that I moved to Mumbai .. this is 28 years ago .. so no emails, Letters .. of course after that lots tv, some films, ad films, musical play, Radio, TikTok, Reels .. been a lovely journey with ups and downs .. God has been kind .. but this Dhurandhared .. dunno what future holds .. but I wanna thank my 23 year old self for staying hopeful and Ma Pa for endless support #DhurandharTheRevenge”

In one of the letters, Gaurav had reassured his parents about settling into the city despite financial uncertainty at the time. He wrote: “Dear Mumma and Papa, How are you guys? I’m really well over here. Nothing has materialised on the money front for me, but I hope to do well soon. There’s a lot of work here compared to Delhi.”
He also mentioned rehearsing in the evenings for the musical Man of La Mancha, which he described as a prestigious production, offering a glimpse into his early theatre commitments while trying to establish himself in Mumbai.
The letters further reflected his modest living situation in the city. Gaurav noted that he was sharing a small cottage with a friend to manage expenses, while also keeping track of daily costs such as telephone, electricity, gas, water, and food. In another line from the correspondence, he wrote: “Mumma and Papa, the future is bright but I still have a lot to learn.”
The actor’s post arrives at a time when his performance in the Dhurandhar films has introduced him to a wider audience, drawing renewed attention to a career that spans nearly three decades across multiple formats of performance.
