Hello Chinmayram,


When you say the "gesture control", are you talking about the touch controls on the stem, of the AirPod? Like pressing it once to play/pause audio, pressing it twice to skip forward, pressing it three times to skip back?


Pause, skip and adjust volume with your AirPods and AirPods Pro


If that's what you're talking about and it's not working, try resetting the AirPods.


1. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and close the lid.
2. Wait 30 seconds.
3. Open the lid of your charging case, and put your AirPods in your ears.
4. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Or go to Settings > [your AirPods].
• If your AirPods appear there as connected, tap the More Info button  next to your AirPods, tap Forget This Device, then tap again to confirm.
• If your AirPods don't appear there, continue to the next step. 
5. Put your AirPods in their charging case, and keep the lid open. 
6. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until the status light on the front of the case flashes amber, then white.*
7. Reconnect your AirPods: With your AirPods in their charging case and the lid open, place your AirPods close to your iPhone or iPad. Follow the steps on your device's screen.
