40-year-old TV heartthrob Gautam Rode got engaged to his Suryaputra Karna co-star, Pankhuri Awasthi in a lavish ceremony in Alwar yesterday.

The duo had announced their relationship quite some time back and everyone from tinsel town was in for a shock as there is a 20-year age gap between the two.

However, as they say alls well that ends well and the two are soon set to be man and wife. The wedding and the pre-wedding ceremonies are taking place in Alwar.

Reel meets real

Gautam and Pankhuri re-invented Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan's look from the song Dil Diyaa Gallaan from the film Tiger Zinda Hai.

We must say that the pair looked totally in love with each other. They also danced on the same song and their performance was applauded by their friends and family.

Love blossomed on TV sets

Gautam met Pankhuri on the sets of Suryaputra Karn, the mythological show where he played Karna and she Draupadi. It is there that their love blossomed.

Pankhuri is also part of the show Kya Kusoor Hai Amala ka and is twenty-year-old. Gautam, as everyone knows, became a household name after his super hit show Saraswati Chandra.
