    var link = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Replace(Request.Url.PathAndQuery, verifyUrl);

    var fromEmail = new MailAddress("<hidden>", "Jyoti Looks Good");
    var toEmail = new MailAddress(emailID);
    var fromEmailPassword = "********"; // Replace with actual password
    string subject = "Your account is successfully created!";

    string body = "We are excited to tell you that your Dotnet Awesome account is" + " successfully created. Please click on the below link to verify your account" +"<a href="" + link + "">" + link + "</a> ";

Don't try to use gmail, use your local email server.

If you have passed down correct Gmail username/password, this code would work just fine, can you try using the port 25 for this and see how that works?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. Google for how to send mail through gmail and you should not only find the code but the non-code things you have to do too such as give access to your account. Note that you can't "relay" through gmail, the "from" address has to match the credentials you are using. One of the many reasons not to use gmail for sending email.
