In a delightful trip down memory lane, popular comedian and actor Gaurav Gera has revealed a surprising and hilarious connection with Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh. The actor, known for his iconic character Chutki and viral online content, shared a series of throwback videos that showcase a collaboration with Singh from nearly a decade ago, long before they worked together on the recent film 'Dhurandhar'.
From Viral Vines to a Superstar Cameo
Gaurav Gera recently took to his social media to revisit his journey over the past ten years. He posted nostalgic clips from his days as a prolific Vine artist, where he famously portrayed the character Chutki. In one classic skit, Chutki walks into a store to ask a flustered shopkeeper for inner garments. The caption on this throwback read, "Hum pehle bhi mile hai... Hamza."
The twist came in the next video Gera shared. It was the same skit with the same dialogues, but this time, the shopkeeper was not a random actor. Sporting a wig and holding a notepad, a young Ranveer Singh played the part of the confused shopkeeper opposite Gera's Chutki. Gera explained this fun twist, writing, "Phir thoda twist aaya - Kuch mahine baad 2015 Mai ..Wahi scene, wahi dialogues.. bas is baar Chutki ko Shopkeeper ki jagah mile RS." He humorously added that while Chutki didn't get the 'chaddi', the reel certainly took flight.
A Full-Circle Moment on the Sets of 'Dhurandhar'
The connection between the two artists came full circle in 2025 on the sets of the hit film 'Dhurandhar'. Gera shared another clip from his appearance in the movie, specifically at the Aalam Juice Centre. He narrated how director Aditya Dhar sent Ranveer Singh to the location, and Singh's character asked, "Yahan Koi, kaam milega?" This moment, a decade after their viral skit, beautifully tied their creative paths together.
Gera concluded his post with a heartwarming anecdote that highlights Ranveer Singh's memorable and friendly nature. Despite Gera having grown a full beard and being in heavy makeup during a narration session for 'Dhurandhar', Ranveer Singh instantly recognized him. "In the washroom break, I was sitting and RS comes from behind my chair and says .. 'Chutki washroom jayegi?'" Gera recalled. He expressed his amazement, joking about his beard being a wasted disguise, and praised Singh as "Sadda Hamza The warm, friendly Superstar."
A Testament to Lasting Impressions in Entertainment
This revelation offers fans a charming glimpse into the interconnected world of digital content and mainstream Bollywood. It shows how Gaurav Gera's pioneering work in short-form comedy created moments that resonated even with future superstars. Their journey from a spontaneous, viral online skit in 2015 to sharing the screen in a major motion picture like 'Dhurandhar' in 2025 is a unique story of talent, recognition, and an enduring professional bond. The incident underscores Ranveer Singh's sharp memory and his down-to-earth ability to connect with fellow artists, making the story not just about a viral video, but about genuine camaraderie in the industry.
