"Love makes you do things you can never imagine. I have never kept a fast in life, but I'm glad that my first fast is for my wife Pankhuri who has always stood by me," Gautam said in a statement.

"This is our first Karva Chauth and I am giving up food for love. I hope to make this day special for her and plan on taking her for a special dinner in the evening," he added.

The couple got married earlier this year.
