No daily soaps for me: Gaurav Gera (TV Snippets)

New Delhi, March 30 (IANS) Gaurav Gera loves being an actor, but what is it that keeps him away from daily soaps?

"I like hosting one-off shows, reality shows or like featuring in comedy shows. I can't do daily soaps because those need a lot of commitment," Gaurav told IANS.

"Daily soaps require me to be committed timewise and also in terms of a character. I want to play a lot of characters in my life... that's precisely why I have played a young guy, an old man, a woman, a child... so on and so forth, and I want to continue doing that," he said.

For now, Gaurav is busy working in Gurgaon for a Bollywood musical "Jhumroo", to be showcased at live entertainment destination Kingdom of Dreams.
