Early life

[edit]

Gaurav More was born in the slums of Filterpada, Powai, Mumbai.[4] Gaurav discussed the challenges he encountered during his early career. In a media interaction, he acknowledged facing financial difficulties during that time. Gaurav More recounted, "Initially, we lived in Ulhasnagar in a tarpaulin house near the station. Later, we moved to Vitthalwadi, but due to unfavorable conditions, we relocated to Kalyan as advised by my mother. Meanwhile, my father's job required us to shift to Bhandup. Eventually, we settled in Filterpada, where our residence was amidst palm trees. However, during the monsoons, managing the water ingress was a significant challenge, requiring one person to divert water and others to prevent damage."[5]
