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.

Priyanka Chopra says she nearly lost her eye while filming action scene in 'Heads of State'

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has opened up about a minor but shocking accident that occurred while filming her new action-comedy Heads of State, which premieres on Prime Video on 2 July. Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor recalled how she injured her face during a high-intensity scene, losing a piece of her eyebrow in the process.

The incident took place during a rainy stunt scene that required her to fall and roll on the ground as the camera closed in. “The camera operator came in a little closer, I came in a little closer, and boom! The matte box hit me right here,” she said, pointing to her eyebrow. “It took out a chunk. I was lucky it didn’t take my eye.”
