Gautam Rode, who is basking in the success of his current tele-stint Saraswatichandra.
But did Gautam always wanted to become an actor? “I had thought of joining my dad in his stock broking business in Delhi. But then life brought a twist when I moved to Mumbai. I took up some modelling assignments to pay my rent, followed by certain TVCs. And while doing ads, someone from casting approached and asked if I would take up acting and I said ‘why not?’ and that’s how I entered small screen.And today it’s like — acting is what I know and want to do.”

And what does Gautam prefer doing in his free time? “When I have some time, I enjoy watching movies also, trying to cultivate habit of reading. That apart, fitness and me are inseparable — since class 10th I’ve been working out. I’ve maintained an athletic physique as it suits any role. As a model or an actor, it is important to keep fit and look good. This is something you have to enjoy otherwise with the kind of bizarre working schedules on sets — fitness goes for toss. I try to hang out with friends in free time. I’ve two great friends in showbiz — Nigaar Khan and Waseem Sabir. People say it is tough to have true friends in glam world, but I feel it is the same everywhere.”
