If i am not wrong that 2016 shooting started after 3 mnths. What was offered he took it up. This was a very poor copy of the Hollywood Blockbuster "The Hangover", this sunk. He even signed some Hadsaa, it got shelved. Moreover if one sees reviews abt 2016, critics have roasted it including acting. Taapasee Pannu was approached for 2016 as the FL but she refused ( as per articles).

After this movies fiasco, he signed Meenu Masi. Star had no reasons to refuse the leads Harshad and Sanaya but after a mnth of playing hop skip and jump for reasons known to them or maybe to satisfy certain egos, they told no. There are artciles on India Forum about the same. Around this time as per some fan groups he was also offered IMMJW ( no conceretr evidence) , this did not work. I think apart BP , he would have also done a good job as a grey character. Let it rest

So if one goes to see from 2012, Harshad Chopda was absent than present on the itv scene. This is the professional scenario. Personally also life was a roller coaster, he lost his mom


Fast forward to 2018, when nothing is going great in anyone's career or life on some it reflects on their face, behaviour etc. This many cannot hide. Maybe Harshu is one of them. Sometimes it is not one's nature to be eternally positive.

When all this is going on , the last one will want co stars who are hell bent on playing camp camp, mind games, twisting scripts etc etc.

His vunerablity or state of mind was captured well by Jennifer and to a certain extent Rajeshji. I would say the entire team has done their share of hand holding. He hasn't hidden anything during any iv, whether the launch or ita awards. It is not easy for celeb to admit about the never ending bad phase which they are going theough, he did if and thanked those who supported him the most. I think Deepika Padukone has openly spoken about Depression, maybe people will think why is she doing the, it was done.

Yes certain fans whether shippers or solos can interpret situations the way they see it or the way they want to it. However the fact at point of time say Nov or Dec 2017 till Nov 2018, anyone who actually can read between those words can understand that Harshad os passing through a fragile phase which was not broken by his costars but they sealed it well as long as they were there together.

That is why he is always thanking Aniruddha for casting him, jenny for liking the script and giving her nod.

when u find a man in this state, a hot looking dude who acts well and scores almost 10 in all aspects except vunerability, many fan girls become over protective mother hens.


Aaah...U know today I was going to made the post on same.You explained it beautifully dear😊
Today while watching ITA award I came to know that ishqbaaz is a gul Khan show.
I was like...Kya kismat Hai...ii watched humsafars for second time just for harshad...Nd I m so in love with sahir...I think Sahir is an underrated character...He deserves more praise nd popularity...
Why the show didn't worked...There can be many reasons...But I think fate is one of them.
Every person working on show, sabki kismat Jud jati Hai shayad show se...
May be thats why a show is running since long...Nd another show ended abruptly.
Nd so did his many shows.

Yeah...It's a very long phase...Nd for HC...I can proudly say that his karma defeated his kismat.😳

It's so sad that a show like bepanaaah, with capable starcast...amazing lead pair...That too ended abruptly...Again may be it's kismat of all cast nd crew.

But admist of all ups nd downs...He just worked on himself...He always did. Nd that's why we got perfect Aditya Hooda.

His karma defeated his kismat.

Nd may from now...I .Pray ...Luck will always by his side.
Somewhere I had read...Success is result of 70% hardwork nd 30% luck.

Fingers crossed!!!

^ here one thing to add...After Tere liye in 2010, he signed dharampatni nd his character was very well written on paper ... Inspired by the Mahatma Gandhi.
But as the show went on...We all know...That was all around female lead...How she helps her husband nd family.
Harshad didn't get much to do there...Apart from the scenes with baapji( mohans grandfather...I think they both were good together)nd few more scenes.

Sigh:((
Now I can uderstaund why he takes so much time to sign a script. It's a big deal...Once you get started...You cannot back off.
Again...It's a matter of time and fate.
My father always say...
Deals nd dears are a matter of fate.:))
So suits to Harshad.

This was so well said👏

This is why I have so much respect for BOTH Harshad and Jenny...while HC fought his own battles with his career despite being such an ACE actor/co-star and so committed to acting...Jenny also fought her own battles and has come out on top. She's an actress many actors are dying to work with...it was destiny for these two to become co-stars, so help each other up and work on a craft they both already excel at

Feeling so nostalgic today, it's been over a month BP has been gone and yet I still can't get over this show...this kind of thing has never happened to me before😭

Dharampatni ke baad sab kuch upar neeche ho gya. Very very true !! Fate , who can defy it.

One more prominent feature is not getting out of situations. This is simply not his cup of tea. It remains. Change isn't constant here. For example, he is still not open to the digital medium. Many bollywood actors have also joined the bandwagon and are considering webseries or netflix a boon rather than bane. Same goes for displaying some content on his IG or twitter handle. If i had that face of his i would have click click. Not all are witty or Savy, no need of displaying everything , u show only what u want to do but there is mindblock there too. He says he is confused.

Aur Humsafars ke baare mein kya kehna. It is like a journey, circle of life. Karan Singh Grover brought, Harshu, Sheban and Anirudh together for Gul. Every other dialogue had baaz in it. Come 2015, Gul Khan creates Ishqbaaz which became a block buster hit, it made headlines. I watched few episodes that was a typical Gul khan drama not humsafars. I wondered if the latter was on Zee it would have survived for a year. I used to think Harshad's kismat is like lunar eclipse those days. KSG even promoted him for QH , Ms Khan's better half became very found of Harshu but KVB was playing tennis there so that too vanished into thin air.

However this association got him Bepannaah and once again kismat connection.

There is something which his fans or neutrals across all fandoms did was to vote for him and to justify the abrupt ending so many literally voted non stop for ita, avta, even online polls. Not only the voting when its switched to star and went on their platform, the channel could have put their faces there. I was crestfallen as so much voting can go down the drain. Maybe his time was good as he said, he got his award and so did the director. Not only that avta guys are fans of IB, yes okay but Harshad was called upon for 2018. So in some way he got his due.

Abhi new year all are a little thanda. This was some respite to the way this show ended.

Are you reading too much into everything ?

Projects in this industry get shelved everyday. His refusal to pick up projects is purely because he chooses to be associated with projects that help him showcase his talent and acting prowess.

Harshad Chopra is one the most amiable and convivial persons in the industry.

Since you are talking so eloquently about undercurrents or discards, have you been associated with the industry? May be you could share some anecdotes

I just feel commenting on a person's emotional vulnerability is uncalled for.

Yes i was working for Sri Adhikari Brothers, SAB TV in the capacity of a intern, long time back before it was taken over by Sony. I do have plenty to share but a decade ago everything was different. U also would have just started ur career and now established in this field. So u.do have a right to comment and obviously in a better position to do it. I Do not wish TO ARGURE AS U KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE INDUSTRY..

I have changed my profession and for almost 8 to 9 hrs a day analysing case studies of emotional discontent made me give my pov to this post.

Again i reiterate, there is a difference in the way i see or want to see and the way u look at it. U said from a professional point of view and i commented what i felt

This is a public discussion platform, when a celebrity talks about his emotions, ups and downs and credits his co stars for pulling him or her out of a phase. I do feel it is okay for his fans either to appreciate or to discuss the state of affairs.

However apart from his journey, this time his capacity to present a character so well was rewarded for and his fans voted for him.. so it isn't a case of talent that has gone wasted or unrecognised.

I hope he is content as he got his dues.

I also know projects get shelved and he is known to be fussy but in between him signing or getting projects the wait is endless. Another emotion which comes from fans is a degree of frustration as he only appears when his shows are on air. Many through their handles have politely expressed their opinions, some are straight forward.

its a matter of time when everything gets settled.

First of all, Well said @TM 👏 Agree on all points ⭐️
Harshad is a rare gem not only in ITV but in today's world in general too. ITV & we fans r blessed to have him with us. We definitely need more people like him now more than ever.
I have to say, I admire him more as a person than as an actor. That's not undermining his talent as an actor but shows how great he as a person is in real.
I haven't followed him earlier before d show, but I knew him as my mother used to watch KDMHMD. TBH, I didn't like him much there. I found SSR better. I never watched a single full episode of d show as I was busy in my studies. But I knew about d craze that Harshiti was during those days thanks to my friends. Then after d show ended, my mother moved to colors channel from SP, so never watched Tere liye or any other of his shows.
It was just when BP promo started airing that I was hooked. He was looking just lethal there & their chemistry even in those short clips was enough to convince me to follow d show. We knew Jenny from KZK, but about ML, both me & my mom were like iss hero ko dekha hai kahin? & I was pleasantly surprised & impressed with d growth of d man when I came to know that He is d same actor whom I used to find mediocre.

After d initial episodes, I was convinced that this show will go down as a classic in ITV history & Aditya Hooda as character & Harshad Chopda as an actor are just second to none. Then I started reading & watching his promotional IV's to know more about d man who was blurring d lines between real & reel so convincingly.
Now, I come to d main point as to why I have written this much history of my association or rather lack of it with Harshad.
Harshad what I have seen through his IV's is someone who is more of an activist thinker & philosopher kind than actor to be honest. Someone who thinks that arts especially d performing arts has d ability to change/influence d society & he wants to use his talent for that. His characters speaks for his life journey in a way.
I admire d clarity & transparency in his thought process & his ability to voice out his vulnerabilities, his lack of knowledge wrt certain things, his limitations & his insecurities in d most genuine & eloquent way possible. But somehow this quality has earned him d tag rather image of 'Bechara'.
I refuse to accept or believe that perception of him being d bechara in any which way. Far from it, What I have seen & believe is that he is one of d most sorted, secure & Intelligent person out there. Just because he speaks honestly about his shortcomings etc. doesn't make him weak. Rather he comes across as a strong person who acknowledges his limitations & works hard to improve both as a person & as an actor.
He himself admitted in sabras interview that he is trying to be more expressive. He does know d importance of sm but he is not much comfortable with it. So let it be.
Earlier I was d one who had made a post highlighting that he should be more active on sm & now I am saying that he is better off without it.
He does not need to pretend or spread stories about himself to be in spotlight. His work speaks. Despite minimal presence on sm, d man has won most of d popular awards. Let him be d way he is most comfortable with.
Contrary to whatever people say, he has changed my idea of being successful in ITV. The man may be out of sight but he is never out of mind. I remember in one of his IV's, he told that till d time his phone was buzzing & scripts were offered, he is not insecure. He will panic d day d calls stop. That means even when he was not being seen on scteen, he was getting offers. How many actors can claim that despite being labelled 'unsuccessful'? The fact that he was able to pick & choose is success in my opinion. Yes he made terrible choices in movies but nobody is perfect. we all make mistakes & then learn from them. So, I'll take that as his learning phase only. Regarding his break of three years between Humsafars & BP. He was not sitting idle but working. It was definitely a frustrating period for him but how many people of entertainment industry can claim that they never had a dull phase in their life where nothing seemed to work.
But he came back with this show & how? The show & his character literally made him a phenomenon. Despite the abrupt ending, d show is critically acclaimed & one of d most loved shows in ITV history. He won hearts & awards for his terrific performance.
So, in d end all I want to say is he is one hell of old school actors who used to carry an aura of mystery around them intentionally or unintentionally. Let him be what he is.

Absolutely ! This is a public platform and we all have the right to comment. We are still living in a free country, last I checked !

Reading content and case studies and applying that methodology to real humans works when there is enough data from the person. Else it feels like implying that that the person is depressed.

I completely disagree with you on that!

I'm an ardent and loyal fan like you and I would like him to be associated with projects that challenge him and in turn resonate with me emotionally. I for one have no problem waiting for the right project!

Like you said agree to disagree and disagree to agree
