Gautam Rode

After few hours of work, you feel like running back to your family.

Whatever I do, no matter it's for television, web or the big screen - it should satisfy me as an actor.

I don't take pressure or keep expectations because then it becomes difficult to concentrate.

In my childhood, I used to usually visit Christmas fairs in our area and at school with my friends and I really miss those days.

My message to my admirers is please take part in initiatives where you can do something for those actually in need and Christmas is a really beautiful opportunity to do so.

Mahakumbh' has a very unique concept and I was certain to take it up when I heard the script for the first time.

I am single, and my mother is worried. She wants me to get married. Now that I'm in my 30s, I can't wait for the work-load to slow down. I need to find someone who will accompany me in my professional journey.

Everyone who comes to the entertainment industry wants to be a film actor. Who wants to be a television actor by choice? I want to change the perception of Indian television as being the poor man's medium.

We don't look at 'Maha Kumbh' as just another serial. We would like viewers to see what we see. We haven't had a game-changer on Indian television for a very long time. We hope this one will make difference to the way audiences look at the home-viewing medium.

There is no money in films, till the time you make it to a certain bracket.

Being a TV actor, I have done many roles. Working daily at times gets to you.

When doing films, ones acting skills are polished, and the actor delivers a better performance.

Love makes you do things you can never imagine.

No matter how tired I am, or whether I have injured my back or neck while shooting, I don't ever miss the gym.

I would love to turn producer someday but the time has to be right.

The love and unwavering support I get from my admirers is the biggest compliment.

I think we forget sometimes how blessed we are to be able to help others and make a difference!

I am not a dancer. In fact, I have no formal training in dance.

Theatre is for you if you truly want to act and test yourself. There is no room for error as you are performing in front of a live audience.

There is a beauty of seeing a picture and making out what the story behind it might be.
