Gautam Rode and Pankhuri Awasthy are now parents to twins – a girl and a boy. The babies were born on July 25 in Mumbai. Gautam says, “We are blessed. . . I have no words to express my joy. The delivery was a C-section, but everything went well. Our family is complete now, we have a girl and a boy.”
Talking about how everyone in the family is thrilled about the double joy in their lives, Gautam says, “Some of our relatives are saying that our son looks like me, while our daughter looks like Pankhuri. Actually, it’s too early to tell,” adding, “I am looking forward to this beautiful journey ahead.”
Pankhuri added, “We are blessed and extremely happy to have become parents. Gautam and I are excited about this new phase in our lives. I always wanted twin babies and now our family is complete.”

Actor-couple Gautam Rode and Pankhuri Awasthy became parents to twins, a boy and a girl, on Tuesday. “It is a different feeling when your babies take birth in front of you!” says an elated Rode.
“I was present in the operating theatre during the C-section and witnessed the moment when my babies took their first breaths. First, the girl came out, and about a minute later, the boy was born,” reveals the new dad.
The 45-year-old informs that both mother and babies are doing well. “Pankhuri is expected to be discharged in four to five days,” he shares, adding that they have thought of a few names for the babies. “But we haven’t zeroed in on any names.”
Recalling an anxious moment from their pregnancy, he shares, “In the seventh month, Pankhuri got false contractions. It was scary for us because we thought premature babies na ho jaayen. By God’s blessing, the pregnancy stretched to 38 weeks, and our wish of having a boy and a girl got fulfilled.”
The actor, known for shows such as Kaal Bhairav Rahasya 2 and Baa Bahoo Aur Baby, counts his blessings as their families are helping them with the newborns. “Both of our mothers are around and we are grateful for all the help,” he wraps up.

The popular Turkish show Fatmagul, originally titled Fatmagül’ün Suçu
Ne? (What Is Fatmagül’s Fault?) which has enjoyed a successful run in
India over the last year, now has an official Indian adaptation that
will air on Star Plus. Kya Qusoor Hai Amala Ka? has Pankhuri Awasthy
stepping into Turkish actress Beren Saat’s shoes.The show revolved around a village girl, Fatmagul, who is engaged to marry a fisherman, Mustafa Nalçal, in a month’s time. Her dreams of a happy married life are shattered after she becomes a victim of a gang rape.
The setting has moved to Dharamshala in the Indian adaptation but will continue to chronicle the anger and sorrow of the rape survivor as the people around her, including her own family, start judging her.
“I learnt Himachali so I’d look like I was from Dharamshala and met a psychiatrist who deals in rape cases so I can project the pain and turmoil of her character convincingly. The writer of the Turkish show Ece Yorenc was flown down to speak to our team about the original show which I watched as part of the prep,” says Pankhuri who likes the simplicity of her character. “There’s no melodrama and every character has a back story.”
Is she prepared for comparisons with the original? “Yes, we are. The audience loved the original so we will not divert too much from the main story,” she signs off.
