Actor-comedian Gaurav Gera says the pressure to deliver laughs constantly can be daunting, and as a creator of various online characters, he takes timely breaks to keep going. Gera began posting his comedy sketches—all less than a minute long—in 2015 on Instagram and soon went viral with his comic characters, 'Chutki & Shopkeeper' and 'Billi Mausi'.

Over the years, the actor gained prominence for his online sketches, with more than half a million dedicated followers on his social media pages. In an interview with PTI, Gera said delivering on fans' expectations can be a task for a comedian. "It's difficult to be constantly funny. When I was new and my videos had started to do really well, I was making four videos a day in 2015. When it suddenly started to boom, I took a lot of pressure.
