Harshvardhan Kapoor's Controversies

Trolled For Sad Reality

Many people were irritated by a statement Harshvardhan made in a recent interview with Mashable India. Lamenting how he has to pay for his 'own sh*t' the 31-year-old actor said “I hate to break it to the audience but the reality is that my parents have no interest in paying for my sh*t. So I wish you all were right and I was wrong.”He continued saying I would have had ten times more than what I have but I buy my own stuff. It’s the sad reality of my life. Otherwise you don’t think I would have had five cars as opposed to just one. 

The Mirzya star also candidly admitted his desire to own a Lamborghini but will have to settle with a pre-owned luxury car as that will cost him around Rs 1 crore. He said for newer models he would have to shell out around Rs 3 crore. I'm actually a Lamborghini guy. I love that car but the new one is just too much. So I'd have to settle for a used old Lamborghini Spyder.

All hell broke loose as a result of his remarks. Social media users ridiculed Harshvardhan for his wealth. Others teased that they wished they had his financial issues.

Diljit Dosanjh Controversy

Harshvardhan Kapoor made his acting debut in the film Mirzya this year. While the film itself did not perform well the soundtrack and performances of its two debutants Harshvardhan and Saiyami Kher were praised. Harshvardhan was named Best Debut (Male) at both the Stardust and Screen Awards. And we're guessing the actor expected to strike gold at Filmfare as well. 

The missed win which went to actor Diljit Dosanjh for Udta Punjab appears to have irritated Harshvardhan. The actor not only issues with the fact that he did not receive the award but he also believes Diljit did not deserve it given that he has previously appeared in Punjabi films. He faced backlash on Twitter following this comment to which he responded appropriately.
