A tribute to the hunky man, Gautam Rode,
For the showers of talent he unleashes every evening in Saraswatichandra contrast with the sun-like radiance of his grandeur, which make every man and woman go, "Suraj, don't touch us, warnaa jal jayenge!!"
On 25th February 2013, audiences were introduced to a new hero 'Saraswatichandra!!
Imagine if the name of the hero is so unconventional, then how his introduction be in the show?
Saraswatichandra, with a bare and Grecian torso, emerges out of water amidst vedic chants, boldly showing off a body which could give the likes of John Abraham a good blow to the bicep and a run for their money.
A rare personality with a sensitive interior under a strong willed resolute, rooted in his mother, is presented to us 'a placid character, a man all into himself, hiding a vulnerable child inside and waiting to unleash a passionate streak.
Now imagine if the character is so "hatke" and challenging, then how will the actor be who has been chosen to portray it?
We can totally understand the kind of insomnia that might have plagued SLB while trying to find his perfect wala package to play Saras. But, thanks to Gauti Pie, his saviour... otherwise known as his Knight in the Shining Dhoti, came to his rescue. And thus a perfect casting coup was pulled off by SLB.
And this is how Gautam Rode, an actor par excellence--- a complete bundle of good looks, good voice and with a body to kill for, mashed with excellent acting skills was revealed as Saraswatichandra.
Actions speak louder than words...and when those words are uttered through such controversial lips..
you get the gist of the 20-minute-a-day-wala-gift that is Saraswatichandra.
Saraswatichandra is all a subtle man with multifaceted roles. He is a son, a businessman, a friend, a great human being, a man of wisdom, a passionate man, a man with a golden heart, *cough cough* a man with fetish for sexy waists *cough cough* and a man with child-like innocence yet a very man-like body, who assumes each role and fulfills his duties with his heart... all the while causing problems to ours.
Portraying this complex character is a career-making role which any actor will give up his right hand for!! Luckily for Gautam, he didn't have to put a limb at stake, nor did he have to negotiate an arm.
Otherwise we would have had to make do with a handicapped Saras... but we're pretty sure he'd be perfect playing Saras with one arm too.. 😳 😉
Saraswatichandra is basically a man all about minimal words and emotions alive. And who can portray this man as perfectly as you, with your brilliant teeth, almond-shaped eyes, soothing voice, bushy eyebrows, (including the mole right underneath the right one) and bulging pythons, Gautam Rode!!
It is amazing how you use your eyes, lips, face, hair, feet, legs, watch, back, shoulders, green tea, shoes, rings and overall full body to bring subtle variations and emote in so many ways, touching our hearts and provoking emotions in us such as filling tubs with aansoon, ruining our chances of looking normal in front of our friends and family, and making our hands, heart, feet, face, sabh sweaty (in the most innocent way possible, of course ☺️☺️)
What fine emotions Gautam Rode!! You make Saras says everything without actually uttering a single word (yeh toh Mr. Bean nikla 😲) And this is only the work of an actor of great caliber!! (Or a mime artist... yaan phir yeh sach much Charlie ka Chaplin hua.)
Saraswatichandra is sometimes very emotionally weak yet so strong, ever ready to sacrifice his happiness to see his loved ones happy and smiling. He would never think twice if he had to put his life at stake to save someone, and beware when the matter is of Kumud, his love, he can put anyone's life at stake. ;) . He is a hero in the truest sense'but a flawed one!! An endearing character which we can connect to, thanks to the man himself, Gautam Rode, who puts life into the character of "Saras" yet takes the life out of us with his brilliant assets, looks, efforts and talent.
Gautam Rode you are doing a tremendous job in portraying subtleties whether it is Saraswatichandra as.
Your unrivalled suaveness makes Saras the perfect business tycoon of the century and not to forget your voice modulation and eyes bring the character to another level. (What business he actually runs? We have no idea, but he surely makes it sound huge. 😛)
Your "bromance" and chemistry with Aniruddh is a breath of fresh air in the show. We totally love your "dostana," it is also another breath of fresh air.
You portray the big and protective brother by saving Yash and Kumari and being a role model to Danny so effortlessly. But we really wish you were a bhai kind of bhai when Chulbul ka cheat copy was making an omelette out of you.
Unfortunately, you are an awful potter. You're only good at nain-mataaka, not making the matka. However, we do enjoy your bulging pythons while you're spinning the chakar... woh bhi excellent acting. 😉
Boy, never ever make those tedha wedha pots. You are talented at only Skyping, handling Dubai deals, and that's it!
The wise man with a golden heart, you simply rock Gautam Rode and how! Gautam Rode as Saraswatichandra the vulnerable child!!
This tribute to your talent will be incomplete, Mr. Rode, if we don't talk about the heart wrenching "Lake Scene" where you were just outstanding, turning into that vulnerable child who found himself in the same tragedy again. The way you are able to scare the living wits out of your fans is phenomenal.
You put life in Saras' character, capturing Saras' pain and twisted and pulled at the strings of the hearts of your audience. The gamut of emotions you portrayed was brilliant, heart touching and had that "hila ke rakh diya" quality. Humara dil hil hil ke mil gaya... congo shongo bey... EXCELLENT ACTING!!!!! !@!#@^%$^U
Take a bow, Gautam Rode!! Or two, or three, or four or five or jo bhi...
Whether you are awarded by Juries or not, we sure do appreciate you as viewers!!
Our hearty farty congratulations, Gautam, for winning the "Best Beta Award" as Saras.
It was not a surprise for your audience because nobody portrays the perfect son as you do (specifically the rondhu bondhu type.) Whether it is the anguished Saras rooted in his mother or the "love deprived" son trying his best (very subtly and discreetly) to make his father proud of him, or the unleashed anger you displayed as Saras when he found out about his mother's suicide note, you are simply outstanding!! (Next time, friends pukaar kar, tweet bhejo to get more tissues... pichli baar padosi ka bhi toilet paper bhi kam ho gaya thaa.)
Allow us to digress here. We simply loved the "Reconciliation Scene" between Saras and his father. It was a precious interaction (along with all the India wale machar who kaated the Dubai wale.) It was quite tricky reproducing father-son vibes without going over the top. But Gautam, you were bang on (what a bang it was, yaar) as usual and it was heartwarming to watch the barriers between Saras and his father coming down slowly like melted candles (like our hearts by the end of the episode... melted softy softy.) Loved the awkwardness, the hesitation, the love (wait, this is a baap-beta interaction right?) You portrayed during the reconciliation of the father and son.
Hats off to you!! (coat, pant, shirt, socks bhi... sabh off!)
What to say to you dear Gautam (koochi koochi ji.) You portray Saras the "hatke" lover ' the angst, passion, aggression with a hint of childishness, with so much conviction.
Not once do you deviate and leave the "gentleness" and "tenderness" which are the trademark of your character. (Like the constant crying, puppy faces, mole under eyebrows, wagera wagera)
The way you make Saras call Kumud!! The way you render a soft, tender modulation to this single word!! Simply wow!! No wonder all the girls are willingly too happy to bunk their Chemistry class to watch your sizzling chemistry on screen!! (Speaking of education... Saras is not a businessman, but, he is a Doctor who took the business deal of curing all patients suffering from heart palpitations... Moreover, he could be his own doctor tools, because he can easily bring us back to life with his electric defibrillator.)
Thanks to your versatility, including Lover Saras' emotional outburst, jealous pangs and "Dobochandra-ness" are always a treat to watch!! (Humara motto hai: 22 minutes of Gautie Pie a day, and life will be more than okay.)
Saluting the brilliance and hard work you put in your character to entertain us, to touch us and to pull at our heart strings (but slowly... otherwise they will break.)
When Gautam makes this amazing facial expression his fans get amazed. So many subtle expressions at once on one face, with right amount of intensity. Truly, he is one gifted actor.
You can literally feel the whip of Gautam's wrath with his perfectly done angry expression. It is very easy for an actor to over-do or under-do an angry expression, but Gautam manages to do it perfectly yet again.
How can one look so amused while being so irritated? Annoyed is definitely one of Gautie Pie's best expressions. The slight flare of his facial features, and the annoyance found in every inch of his body language proves his mastery of expression 😳
With such fluster in an expression, you have to wonder if it's Saras who's anxious or is it really Gautam? The nuance of nervousness, the slight quiver of the lower lip... It takes a master to get such an expression perfectly... Par excellent, Master Ji.
We are positive that everyone who's watched this scene died a little inside. The sincerity of regret in Gautam's eyes with this apologetic expression is enough to make us all want to get on our knees and forgive him right away. How does he manage to pull such flawless expression without much effort? Well, well done! 😊
When we saw the first glimpse of a curious Saras, we all swooned at that cute expression. The honest eagerness on his face with each passing second defines why he's in the profession. His anxious searching eyes makes our hearts jump with absolute delight! What a performance, Gautam.
We bet, no one can resist this charming infectious smile. A delighted expression by Gautam is so radiant and powerful that it makes the world smile along with him. From the playful upturn of his lips to the dimensions of happiness in his eyes, he illuminates our screens with his presence! 😳
Who doesn't love to watch the introverted Saras squirm? One of the most enjoyable ways of adoring Saras is watching him get embarrassed about something. His flushed faceGautam Rode ne phirse dil ka haal kharaab kardiya, aur apne embarrassed laal chehre ke saath humari zindagiyon ko bhi sat-rangi kardiye. 😳
The not-so-innocent shaitani of Saras is heart-churning enough to make our whole week... and it's all thanks to Gautam yet again for being such an excellent actor. Gautie Pie's flirty expression is not only playful, but looking at it, dil ko kuch kuch hota hai. 😳
Iss bohati light and airy expression ke saath humara haal-e-dil heavy duty sa ho jaata hai. Gautu's funny expressions and playfulness make him look like the happiest person in the world... Aur unke saath hum bhi happy ho jaate hain, kyun ki woh khush lagta hai. ☺️
Jitna kam Saras bolta hai, utnaa hi woh expressions se communicate karta hai. So naturally, when Saras is hurt, humein bhi andhar chot lagti hai... aur yeh sabh hai Gautie Pie ki flawless acting ki waje se. Itni dukh bhari aankhein honton ke lafzon ki zaroorat ko mita deti hain... Aur woh dukh jo Gautie Pie emote karta hai hum sabh ko breathless bana leta hai. 😃
Zara dekho toh sahi unh aankhon mein... Gautam Rode's expressions of fascination reflect how fascinated we are by him. His expression of being in love really makes chokriyan, chokre, aunties, uncles, daadis, daadaas, gore, cheene, bache, everyone want him to fall in love with them. Ek musaafir bhi inh aankhon mein kho sakta hai... toh hum fans kyaa cheez hain?🤣
Haila, yeh aashiq ki jalan. Iss jealous expression ka hum kyaa karein? Har ladki chahti hai ke koi par excellent, hero type ka aadmi uske liye jale... Yahaan Gautam jalne ki acting karta hai (zara dekho, woh bhi apni full body use karke) aur yahaan humara chaain jal jaata hai. The slightly narrowed eyes, the red tip of his nose... shirt taarne ki kiya zaroorat, jab chehra hi itna haseen hai. 😆
Aur yeh dekho, hum Gautam ke gonchus ka leader... jo ek Lover Boy ban kar itna pyaara sa gonchu lag rahaa hai. Apne aap ko itna conpooos banake, itna funny scene kiya, aur woh bhi 100% perfectly! Itnaa innocent expression dekh kar mann khush ho jaata hai.. and that's all thanks to the beauty of Gautam's efforts. 🤗
Gautam Rode believes acting in emotional scenes are more challenging than acting as a lover boy. He takes every emotion as a factual challenge and studies it to perfection. And jab result aata hai, toh uski mourning expression ki tarah bilkul dardh bare, bilkul emotional hote hain; humare bhi goosebumps ho jaate hain. In one of his interviews he said those are his favourite scenes and he keeps asking for retake until he is satisfied with it. And as you can see, he knows what he is good at.
Yet again Gautam manages to pull that naughty, mischievous look with complete ease, we bet it comes naturally to him, he has this naughty side which everybody is aware of, and incorporating the same expression in Saras's character might have been a piece of cake to him.
When he speaks, words seem like wine on his lips, and when he pouts, it's his expressions which play havoc on our senses. Women would die to kiss away that pout.Those sinful pink lips (which ironically are not pink in the GIF) are enough to make anyone his fans... Toh chodo uski expression ki baat
Just like a snake goor goors to mesmerize his pray, Gautam Rode does the same to enchant his fans with his sad expression. Those big, shiny eyes allow everyone to feel what he feels automatically, because the expressions is so sincere (sach mein heart attack hota hai be.) Somehow, there is no escape from his mesmerizing gaze, and all of us victims easily give in to him.
When Gautie Pie gets scared, we get scared because we know from his well done expression that we have to get scared which makes Saras scared as a character and makes us scared from the amount of talent Gautu has... Look how scary his scared expression can get to scare people!If scaring is a talent, then Gautie Pie has a scarily high amount of ability to scare his audiences... So scary that he probably scares himself.
Now we are shocked because Gautie is able to shockingly able to make such a shocking shocked expression that is able to shock the living shock out of his audience... So we ask, what is the point of electric shocks to revive our hearts, when we already have such an electric shock such as Gautie? 😉
Pink charah hai,Pink rose mein.
Pink karna hai with pink pyaar.
Pink ko kaho, pink naa karein,
Already pink hain humare gaal. 🤣.
Haiii, tera blush... blushing blushing is making our blood rushing. It's so easy for us to be
crushing... Tum ho hi itne dashing! Look... we're again blushing! 😳 😳
Har nazaare nazar se naa dekho,Nazar mein kyaa rakha.
Kuch nazaare nazaron ke saamne,
nazaraana banke hai rahaa.
Dekhne waalon, jo dekhna hai dekho,
Mujhe nahin dekhna...
Tu hai somber,
But you look like a bomber
Terrorist nahin, doosra dil phodne waala
Kabhi tera bhi turn aaye.
Tera jo bhi safar hai... usmein zaroor suffer kiya hoga,
Lekin, bhai sahab, zaraa hum naazuk kaliyon ko zaraa chodh do,
Tumhare saath suffer karna, bohat hi dil-par-chaunt paunchne waali baat hai.
