Gautam Rode’s show Maha Kumbh: Ek Rahasaya, Ek Kahani will soon make an exit from the small screen. Gautam, who has also been face of many big budget daily soaps before, caught up with us recently for a quick chat.
Excerpts from the interview:
What will you miss the most about your character Rudra?
I live more time being Rudra currently than I do being Gautam and hence Rudra has become an integral part of my life. I will miss all the action, the hardworking team of Mahakumbh as well as my co-actors for sure.
Plans after the show?
There’s a lot coming my way and hence I am trying to decide what to take next. But whatever it is, it will definitely be something different from what I have done in the past.
How do you like spending breaks in between shots?
Usually I try to squeeze in time to work out, grab some rest as well as complete my conversations related to work or family in between shots.
Some of the best compliments received for your work?
The love and unwavering support I get from my admirers is the biggest compliment. There are so many people all across the world who are watching our shows and taking time out to connect with us.
Which show is closest to your heart amongst all the shows in which you have done?
Both Saraswatichandra and Mahakumbh are extremely close to my heart. The shows are polar opposites and so are the characters but I have loved being a part of both of them.
Many actors turn producers, would you like to venture in that space?
I would love to turn producer someday but the time has to be right. Production is not an easy game and I would want to be prepared with the right team, script, etc before getting into it.
Top 3 wishes at the moment?
Rest, Vacation, Work all together simultaneously (laughs) – I am a workaholic yet I am craving for some rest and a vacation.
The words you use most frequently?
Oye teri
Your fav movie genre?
Action and drama
