The
pandemic
has
disturbed
everyone's
lives.
The
entertainment
industry
incurred
huge
loss
last
year-
several
actors
lost
jobs
as
their
shows
were
shut
down
and
projects
were
cancelled
or
re-scheduled.
However
now,
slowly
it
is
gaining
momentum
and
actors
have
resumed
shoot.
Gautam
Rode,
who
recently
shot
a
romantic
music
video
with
his
actress-wife
Pankhuri
Awasthy,
revealed
that
he
lost
a
big
film
with
a
superstar
in
which
he
had
a
good
part
to
play,
as
he
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
Gautam
was
quoted
by
HT
as
saying,
"I
lost
a
big
project
and
it
was
unfortunate.
Everyone
was
being
tested
for
COVID,
and
only
my
results
came
positive,
so
the
unit
and
producers
obviously
couldn't
wait
for
me
as
it
would
mess
up
the
schedule,
so
I
had
to
step
out.
It
was
a
huge
film
with
a
superstar
and
I
had
a
good
part
to
play.
So
this
happened
to
me,
I
don't
know
why
but
I
understood
that
it
wasn't
possible
to
wait.
Workwise,
since
last
March,
most
of
us
didn't
step
out
for
work
as
we
were
all
scared.
Then
from
October
till
February,
I
shot
for
two
projects
which
was
good.
Of
course,
everyone
has
been
impacted
including
me."
The
actor
feels
that
COVID
is
here
to
stay
and
is
a
part
of
us.
He
urged
people
to
maintain
social
distancing,
which
is
not
happening
in
India
at
all.
He
said
that
people
are
travelling
and
going
on
holidays.
He
added
that
although
he
too
went
to
Kashmir
with
his
wife,
it
was
for
a
music
video
shoot.
He
further
added
that
although
it
was
packed
with
tourists,
they
stayed
away
from
the
crowd
and
returned
to
Delhi
to
meet
the
family.
Gautam
was
recently
seen
in
State
of
Siege:
Temple
Attack,
that
also
starred
Vivek
Dahiya
and
Akshaye
Khanna.
About
his
character,
the
actor
said,
"My
character
isn't
seen
throughout
the
film
but
has
an
impact.
There
was
a
defined
role
which
was
exciting.
OTT
has
been
a
boon
since
last
two
years.
It
gives
you
the
chance
to
grow
as
an
actor
and
play
different
kinds
of
roles.
It
has
been
fun.
Creators
are
conscious
of
quality
as
content
is
compared
with
international
shows.
Shows
like
Delhi
Crime,
Scam
and
Family
Man
have
been
three
shows
that
were
brilliant
and
could
compete
at
the
international
level."
