Gaurav Gera – Indians are not being matured enough to handle comedy

Be it a roast, comedy on screen or a web series, it doesn’t take much for the Indian audience to get offended and for an actor to be trolled. However, all this does not bother actor Gaurav Gera. “India is a huge country and with the diversity of culture and population, there are all types of people in our country . Some get offended but many  smile too. Acting styles , film making style  and storytelling styles have evolved .. comedy has evolved too. Also if we talk about platforms .. Now television/ films are not the only source of comedy , there are digital platforms too which have great comedy shows/ content , it’s a time to bloom for comedy”.

Meanwhile, the actor has created quite a stir with his characters Aadu , Billi Masi, Chutki Shopkeeper and other avatars on social media. Ask him why he didn’t do this on TV, and he says, “In Television I am hired only to act .. but in my videos I am the creator .. When I create a video, I am the scriptwriter, editor, camera person, makeup artist, the actor which i find more satisfying than only acting. The whole process of creating to executing is super  fun.
