Harshvardhan Kapoor is not happy about losing an award to Diljit Dosanjh

Harshvardhan Kapoor is miffed with the jury of Filmfare this year. The actor who made his debut in Bollywood with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra directorial Mirzya opposite Siyami Kher. But Harshvardhan is unhappy about losing out on the Best Debutant award for Mirzya to Diljit Dosanjh’s power-packed performance in Udta Punjab, the actor is telling everybody around that he deserved the citation more than anybody else.

In an interview, Kapoor says that the Best Debut Award should be given to people who are actually newcomers, and not to somebody who has worked in several films before heading to Hindi films.

He said, “I won every award except Filmfare. You don’t know what kind of hard work goes into it. Some awards have a jury and they decide. Some have a popular vote. So I don’t know how they decided this year. I think debutant awards should be for people who are relatively new to films. I have done less work. Otherwise, it is like saying I have done 100 English films and now I am doing a Hindi film so I am a debutant. So if Leonardo Di Caprio wins an Oscar and then comes to do a Bollywood movie, he is a debutant which is not something I agree with.”

He added, “I have Bhavesh Joshi and a biopic on which I will start work from December this year. As you grow, you keep working on your craft and keep getting better as an actor. But at the end of the day if people don’t connect with the narrative of the story it, people will feel your performance isn’t as good as you think it is. In terms of myself, I have seen Mirzya several times and there is not a moment that I would change about that film.”

We wonder what the jury of Filmfare has to say about Harshvardhan’s stand!
