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.

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.

Exactly the guy knows exactly what he wants & he is ready to wait for that elusive challenging role which r rare in ITV & rarer for ML. When he thanks anirudhha profusely, it's because he offered him what he was craving for. A complex, layered role where he can show his range as an actor.

As for Jenny, he admired her hassle free nature & zero ego. B'coz ITV is ruled by women & Jen is d undisputed queen. But she never had that reigning queen attitude. She was happy playing a foil to maverick Aditya. That's so rare in cut throat world of ITV.

I agree with Harshadholic that cast of bepannaah was close knit & handled each other well through thick & thin. Everyone in that cast acted like an artist & not as a star.

They really made Harshad feel at home imo as everyone was equally involved in their characters & wanted best than doing petty politics. This kind of inspiring environment actually makes an introvert person like Harshad to be comfortable & be more expressive about his opinions.

People sometimes equate introvert persons to be naive but what I have experienced is bang opposite.They r generally very street smart, intuitive & intelligent as they observe people closely & r generally can see through a person. Harshad for me falls in that category.

Hey! New?

Welcome!!

As far as I know...He had issues at the time of Amber dhara with producers bcoz he had signed left right left while he was in contract Amber dhara.

So he quit the show. God knows he did it intentionally or what.

Haan...He quit saubhagya wati bcoz after the leap he was not happy the way story was going.

We all know he is not seedha sada at all 😆.

But what he says...He mean it.

His honesty attracts me the most.

Moreover, the brand value he is getting..He deserves it the most. He worked a lot on himself...There is clear cut difference in prem nd aditya hooda. Every time he appeared on screen, his performance was better than previous.:))

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
