Is it necessary to switch without any gap. Can't i just resign, have a break of some months and then start new job. In foreign, it's a common thing.

You can say that you were working on your startup idea instead of saying a break. Recruiters understand that startups can fail and so he is looking for a new job.

I totally agree , startup ideas usually calls for extra questions. Why take the extra stress, say you took a break due to personal or family issues

People are desperate for immediate joinees

They are not asking too many questions

My friend has gap of 2 years he gave random answer for his gap and then no one asked him second time again

One of my friend had a gap around a year after leaving his previous job and got into a good firm few months back. So yeah it's totally fine. Just be confident on your reason.

Nothing is necessary. People do it in India too.

It’s tough in the US because health cover is tied to employment. No such issues over here or in Europe / Canada, etc. for citizens and permanent residents.
