Reflecting on his distinctive salt-and-pepper look, Ghadge revealed that it was a result of the pandemic. He stopped dyeing his beard during lockdown, which led to his selection for the role of Radhika Apte’s father in Made in Heaven Season 2. This look has now become his signature, and casting teams specifically seek him for roles that need his kind of look.

Currently filming in Kolkata, Raghav said, “He is ruthless, arrogant, and always wants to win. He has never lost a case in his career and is feared by his family, given his strong-headed attitude.”

Although he has often been cast in serious or negative roles, Umesh hopes to explore comedic or lighter characters in the future. Drawing on his theatre background, he feels confident in his ability to handle any type of role.
