A Deliberate Choice To Stay Private?

When Kamiya Jani asked if it was a conscious decision for Gaurav Gera to keep his personal life private, the actor responded, “I think it shouldn’t be anybody’s interest. Also, I was almost married, but then main peeche hat gaya tha. That was many years ago.”

When asked if he plans to get married now, Gaurav Gera shared, “Nahi. I think I’m difficult to deal with, I’m very moody. Agar kisi aur ka mann hai ki aaj movie dekhenge, toh mujhe nahi hota. I can’t do it. I am myself. If I feel like it, I’ll do it; if I don’t, then I won’t. I’ve lived alone for many years now, toh mujhe aisi zaroorat nahi hoti.”
