Actor Gautam Rode, who got married to his girlfriend Pankhuri Awasthy earlier this year says he will fast on Karva Chauth for his darling wife's longevity. The couple tied the knot in a dreamy wedding in Alwar, Rajasthan.
He is currently busy shooting for his upcoming show Kaal Bhairav Rahasya season two. His wife flew from Mumbai to spend some time with him and they are excited about their first Karva Chauth.
"Love makes you do things you can never imagine. I have never kept a fast in life, but I'm glad that my first fast is for my wife Pankhuri who has always stood by me," Gautam said in a statement.
"This is our first Karva Chauth and I am giving up food for love. I hope to make this day special for her and plan on taking her for a special dinner in the evening," he added.
On a related note, though very few were invited in their wedding, the couple made sure to give a glimpse of their private ceremonies through Instagram. Have a look at some pictures of Gautam and Pankhuri.
