In the world of television, where actors are known by the characters they chose, TV heartthrob Gautam Rode believes in carving a journey of his own. He rose to fame with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s television series Saraswatichandra, is all set to with his upcoming release Aksar 2. Also quoted as a ‘dependable star’ by his directors, this Delhi boy has the looks to kill for yet he loves to stay in his own shell away from rumours, linkups and controversies. A fitness aficionado, who never fails to hit the gym even on the busiest of the days, we bring to you his lesser known journey.
For Gautam, acting happened by chance. Just like any other boy, he had plans to follow his father’s footsteps and venture into stockbroking. Little did he know that his casual modeling assignments, which happened to him by chance, would take him all the way to Mumbai for something bigger and brighter.
“I casually went to Mumbai with an aim to get back and join my family business. However, after my father losing his ticket to stockbroking, I decided to head back to Mumbai and do more of modelling”. But, modelling is not a profession, he said, “It is luck that you get modeling projects but they are not constants. Living and surviving in Mumbai is a task. It was then when I started visiting each and every studio uptown, travelling in a local train, taking down numbers, sharing my portfolios here and there.”
‘It is either shortcuts or long cuts; I believe in taking long cuts’
Professional acting started for him in 2005-2006 when he made his debut with Baa, Bahoo Aur Baby. That struggle from almost 1999 to 2005 was a journey of his learning and understanding the industry. “I never thought of taking any shortcut, risk or made connections which could fetch me work easily. I have enjoyed my bit of struggle in this industry and this has fetched me what I have today. I don’t have any regrets or qualms about anything that I have done to survive and grow in this industry.”
