I remember an incident- A Mr Chhaya taught us architecture as a visiting professor. Genuinely nice person. He invited us students to his house in Delhi, helping us out for case studies of residential colony. We met professors wife and she shared her despair on how her son (who she introduced as an artist) is having marriage troubles. We sympathised, as you do in such situations and then I asked her out of curiosity what kind of artist is your son (thinking in my mind probably some painter / sculptor) ? She said an actor and then it clicked 🤦‍♀️ - her son is Harsh Chhaya - they were Harsh Chayya’s parents and all this while we did not have a clue. This was 1999-2000 ! Very nice people

What a personality, what a voice ❤ Have always liked him as an actor. And it's so visible how wonderfully Harsh must be taking care of his health and fitness considering this is how he looks at 57. And what's even more impressive, he's not looking made up and "botoxed young" like our BW 90s stars. If I didn't know his screen age, I'd have never believed he's in his late 50s. 30 se ek din upar nahi 😄 I also feel that honesty, no nonsense personality and straightforward nature does not take you too far in your career irrespective of your talent :( I was able to relate with so many things Harsh said.
