Early life
Dhaval was born in Mumbai, India to Hansa Gada and Hindi film producer Jayantilal Gada, founder of PEN India Ltd. He did his schooling from Pinewood International (Panchgani) and then completed his studies in Mumbai. Right from his childhood, Dhaval has been influenced by Indian cinema and Formula 1 racing, both of which he is very passionate about. Dhaval Gada’s role model is his father Jayantilal and was the inspiration that led Dhaval to open his own production house (Dhaval & Guroudev Productions). “I wanted to carve my own identity before stepping into my father’s shoes, as both of us strongly believe that we should first deserve and then desire,” says the young Turk, who is pursuing his dream of taking forward the family company, as well as reaching new heights with his TV production house. As passionate as he is about film making and his television ventures, Gada is also equally fond of Formula 1 racing. In fact, inspired by Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher, Gada took up racing at age 11. He pursued his passion for car racing and continued to make his mark in the racing industry from age 12 by winning the JK Tyre 1st runner up of Indian National Championship in F4 (Go-kart) racing. In 2012 Volkswagen offered Gada the opportunity to be the inaugural racer for their F1 racing team . His passion for cars and car-racing remains intact even after becoming a producer in Bollywood and television industry.
