US-returned actor Gaurav Bakshi to appear in Colors' 24

Mumbai based actor and US returned Gaurav Bakshi is all set to enter 24, the popular show from Anil Kapoor Productions’ on Colors. With the show approaching its climax, the good looking actor will be seen in a cameo playing the character of Agent Kabir who will assist Kapoor in his final mission. The actor, who has recently shifted to Mumbai, was in awe with the ‘Jhakkas’ Kapoor and had a great time shooting with him. As he avers, “Working with Anil ji was a fantastic experience and a huge honour. He is an icon and to have shared space with him and see his energy and intensity of focus was a tremendous opportunity and an incredible learning experience.” “The entire team of 24 was thoroughly professional in their conduct and execution. The episode director Rensil D'Silva had the most wonderful temperament and was amazing to work with,” he shares. However, the icing on the cake for Gaurav was when Anil complimented him for his performance at the end of the schedule. “ ‘You have an absolutely fantastic screen presence; you will go a long way and I wish you all the very best,’ Anil ji said,” recalls Gaurav. Gaurav, who is an MBA from Georgia State University, had spent his early years in Atlanta (US) where along with a corporate career, he was seen and appreciated in local theatre. “I then moved to India in 2009 and returned back to the acting world in 2011 while living in Delhi. There I did a lot of ad and corporate films. I was also into emceeing events. And finally wanting to shift to TV and films, I moved to Mumbai three months ago. And now after 24, I am all set for a new ride.” Gaurav will be seen in tomorrow’s (30 November) episode.
