Anil Kapoor’s son Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor made his Bollywood debut with ‘Mirzya’ in 2016.
The actor was recently seen in the segment ‘Spotlight’ of the Netflix anthology- ‘Ray’.
During a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Harsh Varrdhan revealed that he used to be candid and ‘very honest’ before his Bollywood debut. However, after ‘Mirzya’ was released, he had his ‘guard up’.
He also recalled that producers told him to ‘sound dumb’ in interviews as he came across as ‘too intelligent’.
“After Mirzya, I feel I always had my guard up a little bit. I was very open to talk and transparent and be very honest and sit down and have a normal chat. But after ‘Mirzya’, I realised that I have to be a little conscious to what I say. When I sit down for an interview, I like to be honest but it’s up to the person on the other end of the interview to be able to say that ‘this guy is being honest and coming from a good place, he is confiding in me, so I also need to take care of him’,” he revealed.
He further added, “People have so much love for Anil Kapoor, that have expectations that you have to be a certain way. As soon as you are different and embrace that individuality, it’s not going to be accepted right away. It would be naive to think that. Some producers told me that I need to sound dumb in my interviews. They told me that I come across as too intelligent and I am going to alienate the audience.”
On the work front, Harsh Varrdhan also appeared in ‘Bhavesh Joshi Superhero’. He was also appreciated for his stint in Anil Kapoor & Anurag Kashyap starrer Netflix film ‘AK vs Ak’.
