Mirzya actor Harshvardhan Kapoor believes that Best Debut award should be given to actors who are relatively new and not to those who have already done a significant amount of work in films in other languages.
Honesty is certainly among one of the most admirable qualities of Harshvardhan Kapoor. The actor was one of the frontrunners to win the Best Male Debut award at the recently concluded Filmfare awards. But the award went to Diljit Dosanjh for Udta Punjab, leaving Harshvardhan disappointed. The Mirzya actor believes that Best Debut award should be given to actors who are relatively new and not to those who have already done a significant amount of work in films in other languages.
"I won every award except Filmfare. You don't know what kind of goes into it. Some awards have a jury and they decide. Some have a popular vote. So I don't know how they decided this year. I think debutant awards should be for people who are relatively new to films. I have done less work. Otherwise, it is like saying I have done 100 English films and now I am doing a Hindi film so I am a debutant. So if Leonardo Di Caprio wins an Oscar and then comes to do a Bollywood movie, he is a debutant which is not something I agree with."
