Actor Sumeet Sachdev grew visibly emotional on 16 October 2026 as he filmed the final scene of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2', marking the end of his return as the beloved character Gautam 'Gomzy' Virani. The actor shared a heartfelt video from the set, thanking audiences for their unwavering love and support throughout the second season of the iconic Indian family drama.

The Farewell Video

In the video posted on his social media account, Sumeet Sachdev was seen walking around the decorated set, addressing fans directly as the cast and crew prepared for the show's final shot. He called the occasion bittersweet, acknowledging the long journey the ensemble had shared with viewers.

'Hi, so another walking video I am trying. We are shooting the final scene, our final scene of Kyunki Saas. So it's a wrap up day, we are getting a little emotional. It's been a long journey, it's been lovely and all of you have been with us on this journey. So a big shout out to all of you. Thank you so much for all the love for our show and for my character. So from Gomzi, this is goodbye and until we meet again, cheers,' he said in the clip.

In his caption, Sachdev wrote: 'It's a wrap Lots of love Gomzy #kksbkt2 #thanksforthelove #untilnexttime #cheers.' Fellow cast member Hiten Tejwani, who played Karan Virani, responded warmly with the words 'Milte Hain Jaldi.'

Gomzy's Journey: From 2002 to the Second Season

Sumeet Sachdev first appeared in the original 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', which premiered in 2000, joining the cast in 2002 as Gautam Virani — the eldest son of Tulsi, played by Smriti Irani, and Mihir Virani, played by Amar Upadhyay. The character, affectionately known as 'Gomzy', was central to some of the show's most dramatic storylines.

In the original narrative, Gautam was given to Mihir's brother Kiran and his wife Aarti, who were unable to have children. Aarti's growing obsession eventually led her and Kiran to take Gautam away from the Virani family. Years later, he returned from Australia harbouring resentment towards his biological parents, believing they had abandoned him — a return that created significant turmoil in Tulsi and Mihir's lives.

In 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2', Sachdev reprised the role with Gautam reimagined as a practising advocate.

A Star-Studded Cast Reunion

Ahead of the finale, several members of the original cast came together for a nostalgic reunion, revisiting memories of the landmark drama. Actors including Smriti Irani, Apara Mehta, Gauri Pradhan, and Hiten Tejwani were part of the gathering, underscoring the enduring affection the show commands across generations of Indian television viewers.

This comes amid a broader trend of iconic Indian TV shows being revived, with producers banking on nostalgia and the loyalty of long-standing fan bases to drive viewership in an increasingly competitive streaming and broadcast landscape.

Sachdev's Career Beyond Gomzy

Beyond his defining role as Gomzy, Sumeet Sachdev has appeared in numerous television productions over the years, including 'Kya Hadsaa Kya Haqeeqat', 'Karam Apnaa Apnaa', 'Khwaish', 'Pyaar Ka Bandhan', 'Bandini', and 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein', where he portrayed Abhimanyu 'Mani' Raghav. More recently, he was seen as Aniruddha Bose in the show 'Jhanak'.

With the second season now concluded, fans and industry watchers alike will be watching whether the franchise returns for a third chapter or whether Gomzy's farewell marks a permanent close to one of Hindi television's most beloved sagas.
