New Delhi: Television actors Gautam Rode and Pankhuri Awasthy, who have been married for five years, are set to become parents for the first time. The actors took to Instagram to inform their fans about the good news.
The actors shared their happiness with their fans through an animated video that showed their journey from being in a relationship to getting married and finally now welcoming a new member of the family.
The couple wrote in the caption: “Our family is growing and as we embrace this new phase and prepare ourselves to don these new roles, we seek your blessings and best wishes!”
After their post, Rohit Purohit, Gauahar Khan, Maanvi Gagroo, Niyati Fatnani, and many of their industry friends congratulated the couple.
Gautam and Pankhuri got married on February 5, 2018.
In a recent chat with ETimes they spoke about their married life. “It is blissful to have someone by your side. There are many people who feel that even if you are married, you should not be dependent on others. But that’s the beauty of marriage! When you find someone you can depend on, you never feel alone. Since we are both actors, we know how unstable the profession is and that helps us understand each other well,” Pankhuri was quoted as saying by ETimes.
“We’ve been married for five years but it feels like we have known each other since eternity. I am glad that I have found a companion with whom I can share everything. I have learnt many new things about Pankhuri. We have both changed in a positive way. We are not in a typical, conventional marriage where the roles are defined for each other. We have a very progressive thought process,” Gautam told ETimes.
On the work front, Pankhuri is known for being part of TV shows such as ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’, ‘Gud Se Meetha Ishq’, among others. On the other hand, Gautam worked in ‘Baa Bahoo Aur Baby’, ‘Lucky’, ‘Saraswatichandra’, ‘Suryaputra Karn’, and many more.
