Harshvardhan Kapoor
stirred a controversy when he took to Twitter to express his
disappointment over the fact that the Filmfare Award for Best Debut went
to Punjabi star Diljit Dosanjh for his perfect portrayal of a young police officer in Udta Punjab.
His point was Diljit is already a huge star in Punjabi cinema and
shouldn’t be considered a debutant in Hindi cinema. He also mentioned
how he was a part of a Hindi movie in the past, back in 2008. While we
researched about that particular Hindi film but couldn’t find one that
featured in Diljit Dosanjh and was released in 2008. However, Diljit was
a part of Riteish Deshmukh-Genelia Deshmukh starrer, 2013’s sleeper hit
Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya. But that was only an appearance in the
song Peepa Peepa which he sang as well. Harshvardhan Kapoor faced the
ire of many on social media later.
Now his sister Sonam Kapoor has come out in support of her brother and she states how he was misunderstood. She says, “He’s not that kind of a person. Harsh is the sweetest, gentlest, kindest soul I’ve met. And to troll him just because he made a point about the debutant’s award is just too unfair. He was speaking out of conviction. And according to me, he was not speaking out of line.”
Well not just her brother she also spoke about Mirzya his debut film and defended it saying, “Just because it didn’t do well, doesn’t mean all the hard work that has gone into it is nullified. Even my debut film, Saawariya, didn’t work at the box office. But I’m very proud of it. And I’m proud of what my brother did in Mirzya.”
Also clearing the air that his stand wasn’t against Diljit Dosanjh she said, “Harsh is one of Diljit Paaji’s biggest fans. Harsh’s objection was on technical not on creative grounds. Our father (Anil Kapoor) has always taught us to be appreciative of other actors’ works. We’ve grown up in an atmosphere where we have constantly heard other actors’ work being appreciated. Neither my brother nor I would ever feel resentful of the good work done by our colleagues.”
