Gaurav Gera reveals he was shocked when people failed to recognise him in Dhurandhar's 'Doodh Soda' scene
Mumbai, March 13
Actor Gaurav Gera, in the recent episode of Wheel of Fortune, revealed how people were shocked to learn that it was him as Mohammad Aalam, popularly known for being the Doodh Soda seller in Dhurandhar.
Gaurav Gera, while participating in the quiz reality show, recreated his iconic 'Doodh Soda' scene from Dhurandhar, leaving the audience amazed.
Speaking about the popularity of his character, Gaurav shared, "Bahut saare log toh pehchaan hi nahi paate dadi ke wajah se. Unhe vishvaas hi nahi hota ki woh main hi tha " (A lot of people are still unable to believe that it was me in that character, mostly because of the beard)
To this, Akshay Kumar jokingly replied, "Ek nakli dadi le kar ghuma karo. Jab koi pehchaane nahi toh fataak se laga diya karo haan bhai, main hoon!" (Keep a fake beard with you. The moment somebody shoes disbelief, wear the beard and prove it to them)
The show along with Gaurav Gera, also featured special guests Ayesha Khan and Rakesh Bedi joining host Akshay Kumar on the show.
Talking about Dhurandhar, the movie that released in December 2025, went on to become a blockbuster hit.
The film starred Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan and Akshaye Khanna in pivotal roles. The sequel, titled Dhurandhar 2, is all set to release on March 19 this year.
Talking about Gaurav Gera, the actor rose to fame with his stint on the superhit television show Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi, that also starred actress Mona Singh in the lead.
Gaurav's potrayal as her BFF, went onto win hearts.

It's true what they say about prosthetics and makeup! Actors like him deserve more credit for disappearing into roles. The beard and getup completely transformed him. Great talent.
Akshay Kumar's suggestion was so typical and funny! "Fataak se laga diya karo" 😆. Shows how down-to-earth these stars can be. The whole episode sounds like a fun watch.
While the cameo was good, I feel the article focuses a bit too much on a small scene. The movie had bigger stars and a great story. Still, nice to see supporting actors get their moment.
Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi nostalgia hitting hard! Shobhit was such a beloved character. It's wonderful to see Gaurav Gera still getting love for his work after all these years. True artist.
Dhurandhar was a proper masala entertainer. These small, memorable scenes add so much flavor. The sequel's release is the perfect time to revisit the first part. March 19 can't come soon enough!
