He felt odd playing Priyanka’s father and she’s 39… while his own daughter is 36? Sometimes I wonder why male actors are so afraid to play their own age. Anyway, glad his son pushed him to take on this role because he was outstanding in DDD. 😍

[@SA-cz2uw]

I feel like a lot of the bwood actors have missed great roles because of they egos!

[@sanaxx5]

I know right!

[@fenyx2558]

Besides, He has maintained himself greatly to look well below his actual age.

I like harshvardhan kapoor's acting choices. He is very artistic when it comes to choices. 💕💕

Harshvardhan does not follow the herd, He is a unique actor with a unique sense of acting & he knows his job well. He is so well informed & sorted. He is one of the real "actors" i know.

Really i loved harsh in bhavesh and i thought it was a fantastic movie..dont know why it didnt work..things like these make me question our audiences taste.but bhavesh is still one of the best movies ive seen and harsh was superb in it

[@sonalipathak6724]

Harsh is certainly very articulate & artistic in the family. Hope to see him a lot more.

Anil’s secret behind his youthfulness is the way he enjoys everything. His laugh is so contagious!

Loved the conversation. Harshvardhan surprised me. He is witty and well articulated at the same time.

[@raz7357]

Loved the movie, the visuals, the making and HK's choice of movies so far. All actors were very natural. Harsh, please keep doing such unique roles. Don't do the silly Bollywood over dramatic hero type roles. Somewhere he looks a bit like Dulquer Salman.

@@harpreet9719 have you seen his choices of films? Bhavesh Joshi, Spotlight? He could very well act in any masala Bollywood film but he chose different scripts and shone in those. From what I’ve seen till now, he will be considered a great actor a few years down the line, because his choices are not clichéd, but good character roles

Every father wants his son/daughter to be successful. Some even go upto an extent to make that happened. He is a good father indeed. Good luck to his son to be a good son. As for a good actor I don't think one needs wishes but talent.

If Harsh did not belong to a film family, he would probably be hailed as a new Ayushmann or Rajkumar Rao. His cinematic intellect is so,,, cool,,, I really do like him. But of course, without the surname, he would be struggling for years to even get his first break...

It is sick when someone judges a new talent I mean everyone can see, he has done very few films but atleast he chooses wisely... Can't we praise him for that, a guy who hails from such a family where surname hi kafi hain.. Still trying to prove himself as a good actor.
