When Gaurab isn’t busy pulling pranks on his Zeta Beta Tau brothers, drooling over Leonardo DiCaprio, or starring on Sesame Street, he enjoys sipping on Café Mochas while watching Mean Girls on any given afternoon. This athletic cutie also frequents the gym and participates in intramural sports in his spare time.
I know you’re all wondering the million-dollar question: is he single? Unfortunately, he’s been off the market for exactly one year as of this week – impressive!
