Gautam Rode is a practical guy and excellent and good-looking actor.
Gautam's recent interview was on the web, in which he said that:
- he wants to be in a show for a long time and this depends on ratings
- whenever Saras-Kumud shaadi is mentioned ratings drop, but when they part ratings rise.
- he doesn't interfere with CVs' direction of the story. If this leads to high ratings, which he commented on had risen to '3' to his joy, then all the better.
So in summary and reading between the lines, it seems that to gain higher ratings and to keep the serial going on for a long time, CVs will keep Samud apart for as long as possible.
