Thanks to the internet that now he is internet’s favorie entertainer and star. From Chutki to shopkeeper dubsmashes to funny snapchats, Gaurav Gera’s journey to fame is no less than a classic example of how the internet can be explored and exploited in brillant ways.
Gaurav did a play named ‘Jhumroo’ in Kingdom of Dreams and he alleges that producer Gagan Sharma is not paying his dues that amounts to half a crore. Talking about the same, he said,
“Enough is enough, I have been requesting them for the past two and a half years to pay my dues but they are not ready to do it. I am done with all this.”

Talking about the company’s disgraceful response to his court notice, he added:
“Wizcraft has money to pay Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor but they don’t have money to pay me. It’s quite hurting for me. It’s is my hard earned money and I want that money back. I have also sent a legal notice to them. In return they said, we already have 15 legal notices against us, yours will be 16th. This hardly matters to us.”

“I am not going to do TV anymore. Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa season 9 will be my last small screen show. Or I will do only if they will pay be in advance. I am so helpless that I can’t even got to CINTAA because they only handle TV and films. They don’t cover theatre. For me it is not Kingdom of Dreams, it is Kingdom of Sorrows.”

“I waited for three and a half years for my payments. Never said anything against them but now it’s high time. Today also I am just requesting them to pay my dues.”
