Gautam Rode set for a cameo in Bhakharwadi

Popular television actor Gautam Rode, who is known for such successful shows as Baa Bahoo Aur Baby, Saraswatichandra and Suryaputra Karn to name a few, was last seen in Kaal Bhairav Rahasya 2. The show ended its run in April and the actor has been missing from the scene ever since.

If you missed Gautam Rode all this while, here is the exciting news for you all. The handsome actor is set to do a cameo in popular Sony SAB show Bhakharwadi. Interestingly, Bhakharwadi is produced by the same makers who bankrolled Baa Bahu Aur Baby, a show which made Rode a household name more than a decade ago.

Sharing his excitement, the actor says, "I really like the show Bhakharwadi as it is different from what goes on television these days. I like the writing, the screenplay and the storyline of this show. I am also fond of both Paresh (Ganatra) bhai and Deven (Bhojani) bhai. Secondly, JD (Majethia) bhai and Aatish (Kapadia) bhai are like family to me, as my first television show Baa Bahu Aur Baby was with them. So, one day as we were chatting, I expressed my liking towards Bhakharwadi and just a few days back I received a call from them for the role of Abhijeet in the show. I really liked the character and the track and hence agreed to it.”

Made under the banner of Hats Off Productions, Bhakharwadi has been one of the top-rated shows on Sony SAB ever since hitting the small screen in February this year. It stars Deven Bhojani and Paresh Ganatra in lead roles.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
