MAYUKH MAJUMDAR TALKS TO GAURAV ARORA, WHO'S GETTING PLENTY OF APPLAUSE FOR HIS ROLE IN THE ROMANTIC SERIES AADHA ISHQ
MAYUKH MAJUMDAR
LOVE BYTES

Gaurav Arora's debut, Love Games, capitalised on his sex appeal, chiselled jawline, and fit physique. The movie, which also starred Patralekhaa and Tara Alisha Berry, was all about the high life sex, drugs, and rock and roll. However, it was with Raaz: Reboot that he achieved a sense of critical acclaim for his intense role. His career went on a downward spiral from then on, but the handsome hunk seems to have bounced back with OTT series like Aadha Ishq and Asur 2.

The Madhya Pradesh native's initial fame came from modelling. He shot to stardom after his stint at the Gladrags Manhunt and Mega model Contest in 2006. He went on to work with some of the biggest names in fashion, namely Manish Malhotra, Rohit Bal, Tarun Tahiliani, and Raghavendra Rathore. "I always wanted to be an actor, even back in school. Everyone thought it was a childish whim at that time, but it was consistently there for me throughout. While I was in the 10th or 12th grade, I saw all these models get into films. As a result, I believed it was possible. Then, I came to Mumbai with this frame of mind that I'd get into modelling, make a name for myself and then get into acting. But people believed that models couldn't act by that point in time." Acting was always a priority. He started doing a lot of theatre and workshops. That gave him a lot of time to hone his craft, and he emerged the better for it.
