He plays the most popular nerd on the small screen. Apart from Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, Gaurav Gera has many movies in his kitty too. That entails a lot of traveling, and that's one aspect of the profession Gaurav loves! This year, he's traveled the most, he says. So here's Telly Chakkar taking a sneak peek through the actors' list of holidays and pictures taken on his cell phone when abroad. Riya V. Anandwala chats up with Gaurav. | How't that for an aesthetic shot? Gaurav in Prague for a film shoot. | Where have you last been and with whom? I had been to Prague recently with the cast and crew of my new film. Till date, which trip holds the best recall value? It has to be Goa. I had been there last year for New Years', and I had a blast. I was partying there with my friends. What was the most attractive feature of this trip? I had gone to Goa for five days, and in those five days, I could be myself. I really enjoyed there, firstly because I was with my friends and secondly, I was not working. Did you bring anything really special from there? I bought a beautiful crystal glass when I was in Prague. I have a 3 D picture of mine on it and it looks damm cool. You got to see it to believe me. It cost me 2,500 rupees. I haven't seen it before and I haven't noticed anyone having it. I am very fond of it. | Gaurav poses in Kelowna, Canada | Any other attributes of your holiday destinations? Yes, of course, when I was in Prague I visited a sex shop. And all I can say is that it was different. Such shops are not to be seen here, so it was an eye-opener. Another trip which brings very good memories was when I was shooting for another movie called Neal n Nikki in Canada. What about the food? As I am a vegetarian, it was a little difficult for me to adjust in Prague. But it was a 10 day shoot, and food didn't really matter. I enjoyed myself to the core, that's what matters. Any plans for another holiday? Oh yes! Definitely. I will be pushing off for Malaysia with the unit of Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin and later in December, Paris is due. | Gaurav and his yachts? In Prague | Any place to would like to visit? Yes. I am a beach person; I would love to go to Hawaii or Ibiza. And even in India, I would love to visit Kerela. Which is your favourite holiday spot? Goa! Nothing but Goa. I am in love with that place, and even this year I will be there for New Years' eve. Posted on 4 November 2005 4:30 pm | |
