Harsh Chhaya On the house
An established actor on the small-screen, Harsh Chhaya got recognition in Ajai Sinha's serials starting from Hasratein, Justajoo and now Ghar Ek Sapna. The actor talks about his relationship with Ajai and his journey … on the sets of Ghar...
In Ghar Ek Sapna, Harsh Chhaya is playing the role of Rishabh. A doctor by profession, he is one of six siblings and is like a mediator. Whenever there is problem in the house or anyone needs help, Rishabh lends his shoulder to cry on or is always ready with a piece of good advice. "Mine is a positive role. Everyone has a lot of trust in me. The family wants to see me settled but I have a deeply-guarded secret that I have a wife and a little son hidden away from the family," discloses Harsh about his character that is yet to be revealed to the viewers.
Talking about his conviction about working with Ajai Sinha, Harsh says that he loves to work with Ajai because firstly he is a good human being. Secondly he is a good director with a lot of confidence and belief in his work. And thirdly he is like my 'ghar ka sadasya'. Moreover an artiste is assured that he has a good role. I have always got to play the central and prominent character in all his serials," says the actor who has done Sinha's Hasratein, Justajoo, Samay as well as Astitva. "Since the director did not have a role for me in Dollar Bahu, I didn't feature in the serial," he adds.
About his co-stars, Harsh says it is a very good team and he is fortunate to work with artistes like Alok Nath, Himani Shivpuri, Barkha Madan, and a whole lot of young team. About Kiran Karmarkar, who plays his older brother in Ghar Ek Sapna as well as Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasman, Harsh says, "Kiran follows the relationship in real life too. He is like a true brother and I enjoy working with him in both the serials as we have similar roles in them. While in Ghar .., both of us have positive roles, in Thodi Si …, we are in grey shades and against one another." Harsh is also doing Anurag Basu's Love Story, which is being aired on SAB TV.
A Gujarati by birth, this Delhiite's debut Marathi film Evdhasa Aabhal released recently in Pune to a good response. His wife Sunita Sengupta also makes her Marathi film debut with the film. The duo is also seen together in Ghar .., as fellow doctors. Last seen in Madhur Bhandarkar's Corporate, the actor says he prefers to do serials because he is not getting the kind of roles there. "I am not averse to films but my ghar ka kharcha should get covered somehow," he beams adding that his forthcoming feature films are Laaga Chunari Mein Daag for which he has finished shooting, "The film releases in October/ November", he says adding that he is playing a shrewd businessman in Yash Raj Films' Laaga Chunari Mein Daag opposite Rani Mukerji, and Rajat Kapoor's Mithya is due in October. His other films are Red Swastik and Breaking News.
Having done everything from being a production assistant, copywriter, voiceovers and writing scripts since he came to Mumbai in 1992, at the age of 21, Harsh's first serial was for DD titled Khaali Haath, in which he played a blind music teacher, followed by Zee's Dillagi. But it was with Raman Kumar's Tara he shot to limelight as Jijo. Then there was no looking back for the actor with serials like Darar, Swabhimaan, Choti Si Asha, Nyaya, Justajoo, Astitva etc.
Looking back, Harsh feels he has led an eventful life, literally, as far as his roles are concerned. But an actor is never satisfied and keeps looking for avenues. "I am also looking for that one major role that will lead to an exciting and fulfilling acting career," says the actor signing off.
