New Delhi, Actor Gaurav Gera, who has won praise for his portrayal of Mohammed Aalam in “Dhurandhar”, has shared an old letter that he wrote to his parent when he first arrived in Mumbai in 1998.
Gera said his journey in showbiz has been full of ups and downs but he just wanted to thank his parents for their support and his younger self for staying strong amid all the upheavals when he first moved from Delhi.
“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 … 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,” he wrote on Instagram on Sunday.

“Other expenses include telephone, electricity, gas and water bills and food. Mumma and Papa, the future is bright but I still have a lot to learn,” the letter read.
