*^Harshad Chopda FC*^* Fan Interactive Special-p33

Welcome to FC NO 41 of Harshad Chopda.....

Congratulations Folks for not just another FC but yet another award in our kitty! In our boy's kitty!! JODI AWARD which is the most prestigious award in SPA. CHEERS and Congratulations to one and ALL!!! 

 In short, the FC divided into two parts and is a major "FAN-INTERACTIVE" special.  Part One is the Rendezvous and Part Two, the ODE...

On board are five fans:

Payal (-Payal-),

Yojana (angelic eyes),

Raksha (-athena-)

Daisy (delo)

And a special " non-fan Guest of Honor"   Vandana(togepe30)

 However, know before:

• They were not allowed to divulge neither their questions nor their answers before I chose to do so to not just on the forums but also with EACH OTHER.
•  It was a completely confidential affair between me and each of them on a one-on-one basis till this FC went up.
• This is as much as a surprise for you guys as much as it is for them.
•  So NO answers were leaked out before I put this FC up.
•   No answers were discussed by them and we know each other so much to trust each other completely in this regard.
• There was a Rapid Fire Round for which the winners have been announced right in the end of this rendezvous along with the voter's choice and scores. Again, NONE of the answers were discussed, and nor were they aware of each other's choice. They filled in the questions and rapid fire round and sent them across to me. And that's about it. So if anyone has any issues, feel free to PM one of us.
•  My(Sidrah's)  comments  as I deemed fit to put them in at various points are in blue (for this part only).
•  Oh and it was a tough grind, I have also put their first reaction on receiving the questionnaire right in the end as well.

I have to admit, making FCs could never be my thing, more so because of the kind of life I live.  There barely is any time to for myself,  other than when I am on vacations, like these days but ya I took over for the promise I made to her and that guilt of not being able to live up to it regularly during my hectic college schedules, does wear me down time and again.This  FC, is a product of her commitment and passion and no one can take that. The FC will always be synonymous to her, and I really hope once she has settled down all her priorities in life, she comes back and takes charge all over again'. A difficult likelihood at the moment, because I know, she has some very important priorities to attend to and I would want her to take care of that front before even thinking about something like this for now but Daiz, you are seriously sorely missed! It's like when you left, as Payal puts it, you took the heart and soul of the FC with you. Never the less, thank you for everything that you have done for us so far..

 Ans:- As you all know how emotionally I was attached to the FC for almost 2 years at a stretch, the decision to leave it was killing. I never had thought that I would be making such a decision one day. But then this was on my mind for almost 4 months before I announced it'.It took me days to write all that I did in that FC. Life did come to a standstill after I quit. I was deliberately keeping myself away from my home. How could I be happy'I was emotionally disturbed for many days'But then I had other priorities and during that period I never got time to think about anything else' But after a month when I saw the FC and the messages there I got too overwhelmed'

But even now I do see the FC whenever I get time and do read some messages'I feel as if I never quit'.Its just that my involvement there has lessened'.But I will always be attached to the FC forever as this is the place which gave me such wonderful memories and friends who are always there for me'.In other words I never left..

 Q, From Mamta to LRL to Desh, how do you think Harshad has evolved as an actor?

 

 Ans:- I first saw Harshad in LRL. The way he portrayed the character of Ali was something only he could do. He was just perfect there. Inspite of not being the lead actor he did a wonderful job in the show. But with Prem he went a level higher. The essence of Prem created on screen can be credited to Harshad and the way he played Prem was again something that only he could have done. He brought life to the character and the show. This is how he evolved as an actor'

 

 

 

 Q, The one thing that is bugging everyone today- The plight of Prem Juneja in the show; Any toddler will tell, the kind of stride the creatives have taken today with respect to the character was never Prem in the first place. Now what do you think should be the way out of it? Wiser for Harshad to quit or wait for the right moment ?

 Ans:- Prem's character has seriously been tampered with'They have just ruined the essence of the Prem we loved and adored for a year'The person we see now is so unlike him. I have not been able to be in regular touch with the show but whenever I watch the show, I am just unable to relate to it.

Hmm according to me Harshad is not the one who gives up that easily and quits unless things go beyond his control. He still is giving his 100% and will continue doing so till the show is on air. I would want the show to get over now and Harsh should now be looking for other projects'

 Q, Today the situation in bollywood is a tad wit different from what it was in yester-years.  One doesn't have to be backed up by a family lineage to make it big there. Rajeev and Prachi Desai are living examples. What are Harshad's prospects in Bollywood as far as you see it. Do you feel this is the right time to take that call or he should take it as it comes?

 

 Ans:- I feel that Harshad has everything that takes to make a star. I see a great future for him in Bollywood considering that he gets the right roles and scripts. I have always imagined him in a lead role in a Rajshri Production. I feel that he would be perfect to play that kind of a character perfectly.

I feel that he should work on the small screen for a couple of years, do better shows and then finally try his luck in Bollywood as that is no cake walk. It means more hard work and struggle, and Harshad being the fighter that he is, he will surely rise and shine.

 Q, Harshad has time and again made his fans feel special. I believe its just his way of making us feel important albeit stemming out of the modesty/simplicity that runs in him. Your most memorable moment in this regard?

 

Ans: - Harshad is a gem when it comes to his interaction with his fans..There have been hundreds of such incidents which cannot be jotted down here in such few words. He has always made us feel so special that sometimes we sit and think if all of this is true and if we actually deserve all this. But he has been special and always made us feel so too'

 Q, October was hell for us. First coming to terms with Prem's death and then the media hype over all that was going on. Oh well, all's well that end's well though. Do you feel there always  WAS and still is a silver lining to everything that happened back then.

 

I feel that October was one of the worst phases ever. I didn't see anything good evolving from that incident. The death of Prem was totally uncalled for. It was just not needed. And if it was the demand of the script they should have not made him shoot for about 2 months without bringing his character back. It was surely one of the most depressing phase for Harshad and us as fans. Maybe Harshad got some time for himself, but I don't think that period did anything good to him. Had his character been over by then he would have landed in better shows and roles. For me that was the end of Prem. It hurts to see Prem being destroyed the way he was after he came back.

 

 

 

 Q, Harshad the person has various shades associated with him from that masti khor side of his to the rationale he makes with respect to not just his career but life and circumstances. What do you think makes him stand out as a person?

 

 Harshad is UNIQUE. He is someone whose nature cannot be defined in words. I don't think I have ever come across a human being as simple, genuine and humble like him. Its this quality which makes him stand out and the kind of respect he showers on all is just overwhelming. He makes everyone feel special and thats Harshad. Simplicity personified.

 Q, Given an opportunity to choose between an ALI and an LRL and a Prem and a Kis Desh. What would be your choice and why?

 Hmm that's a tough choice. Ali was and will always remain very close to my heart. Its that character which made me take notice of him. I have already spoken so much about the show and Ali. I don't think a show like LRL can come on screen again and again. It was a unique cult show which holds great memories for me. So my first preference would definitely be Ali. But Kis Desh got life only because of Prem. Harshad made Prem the way he is. I don't think we can ever see the scenes we saw in May-July last year in Kis Desh. But I would stick to Ali and LRL. But my only regret was the lack of footage he got in the show. Ali was terrific. The makers didn't tap his character well after a few months.

 

 Q, What is that one area, where you think there is yet room for improvement if there is even any in the first place, as far as Harshad is concerned?

 

 Harshad has learnt a lot from his experiences. He was never a trained actor. But he himself improvised on his scenes and dialogues and learnt each day and outdid himself with each passing show and episode. Harshad is just PERFECT as an actor and all the 4 shows he has done till date have been so different from each other. That shows his versatility and talent. Its just that he needs good shows and he will do a rocking job.

 

 Q, From what I remember, Raasta ruko has been  one of your most favourite Prem scenes, and you were quiet disappointed when they edited Raasta ruko scene no 3(there have been four btw). What was about this scene that you loved so much?

 

 Hahahaha'.Did I ever tell that the ''rasta roko'' scene was my favourite'.Ok ya I did LOVE the scene. Maybe I was gripped by the Prem mania then and maybe I was feeling happy that day (Ok cut that'.I am lying'Hahahaha). Hmm I dunno what was so special about that scene'Maybe the way Prem expressed himself'The way he stands straight in front of Heer and then just blocks her way. (How droolworthy'Hahaha)'..The his dialogues and the love he showers on Mehar. Those eye contacts. Gosh everything about that scene was just too beautiful.

Oh yes'.those editors did edit one scene. But there were many. That scene is again so synonymous with Prem and Heer'.

 Q, The admiration and respect Payal holds for you and vice versa is mutual, right?  I am a witness to her claiming once that "Daisy is on another level, no one can surpass that" and coming from Payal, it can be anything but sugar coated.  How do you perceive her, her commitment to the FC, to you, to Harshad.

 Payal is someone who is a God send angel in my life . And I seriously mean it. I have never come across a person like her ever in my life. How can someone be so giving, so humble, so kind, helpful and such a wonderful human being all in one???  Payal is another level altogether. I fall in the level of morons and anyone can be there. But all cant be like Payal. I tell her so many times that she reminds me of Harshad. She gives me weird looks though, but I know that she draws inspiration from Harshad in so many things in her life (I insist that they should meet) . I don't think I can ever thank Payal for all that she has done for me. I still look forward to talk to her every single day and the day we don't meet we bombard each other with offliners. I thank God for sending her in my life and I will always cherish our friendship. Thank u soo much'

 

 Q, And you know, considering that you do have that crazy streak within you (which not many are aware of hahaha) , and if exposed how are you expecting her to react. Flip?

 Aaah I don't think I am crazy. Though you always insist that I am a mad crazy girl. But you can expose any side of my side. I am sure people wont be surprised'Hahahaha'.

 

Are you talking about Payal's reaction. I think she knows me very well'..How can Vandu and Sidra's friend ever be sane. Hahahahaha'.

 Q, Raksh was the most active member in the BRING PREM BACK ANDOLAN, back in October. I don't think anyone can ever surpass her faith in Prem and the way she has clinged on to every nuance of the character. Today, when the creatives have made Prem do non-Prem things, even her support system is dangling now and we know how possessive she is about the " THE"ness of Prem.   Any consolations in this regard?

 Raksha is another level when it comes to believing in Prem and always having faith in him. She was the only one who knew that Prem never died. Even when Gaurav came in she always knew that he is ''The Prem'' and ''Our Prem''' Such was her faith in him. Raksha has been watching and loving him with such dedication that its seriously not possible to even match with her.

Prem is no longer our Prem and the future also seems bleak as far as his character is concerned. So I think that instead of making our hearts cry after seeing the state of our most favourite character ever, we should just stop having any hopes from him. I know its so tough and even I will do anything just to watch a single scene of Prem, but now we can do nothing. Prem's character has been messed with and so are our hopes.

 Q, And ofcourse, on your equation with her? Any dear memories that you hold with respect to her?

 Raksha has always been this supporting and a mature friend that I have. She came on the FC and just gelled in with all of us instantly. I see a child like streak in her sometimes and just the other moment she is this extremely mature friend who will go to any lengths to protect you. There have been so many such instances in the past one year where Raksha has always been there to lend me her support, whenever I was low and confused. Her PM's always made me feel so light and I knew that I had a friend who would always be there. I can never forget one of those last PM's I got from her just before I made my last FC, where I had almost got a panic attack as I was unable to finish that on time. Raksha's PM at that point of time just eased me out of so many tensions that day. I miss her on chats these days due to my schedule but I always think of her and know that she is always there.

 Q, The time you shared with Yoj 2 years back can never be taken away from you no matter what stride your life takes you or has taken you. Today, sitting at this point in your life, how do you look back at it. 

Anything that you'd like to relay to her ?

 Yoj is another small and a cute angel in my life. We met on the LRL forums and its almost been over 2 years since I know her'Yoj has been one of my best friends on IF and I just cant imagine her not being with me. She is this young, chirpy and an amazing human being, full of life and always been there for Harshad and always been there for me. No matter how many ups and downs we both have seen together, we still are the biggest confidants of each other. Yoj is so gentle and always smiling. She spreads cheer everywhere. She has this unbelievable streak of an ''never die'' attitude. The kind of hard work and dedication she puts in to anything she is passionate about is mind blowing. She was the one who laid the initial foundation of the FC and we all joined in with her. Even today when she has literally no time for herself, she is just a phone call away always there with the best of wishes and prayers. She might be young but extremely mature and can handle any kind of situation she is put into. I see her very successful one day and still there for me. Its strange to see the kind of equation we share. We have now started understanding each other and know that even if we might not be in touch for a month, the equation will never change. We will always continue to be there for each other and I always maintain that I was incomplete on the FC without her. Its Yoj who gave me the support and I don't think I ever made any FC without talking to her. The support she lend me and still lends is something I can never forget. Yoj you are a darling and just be the way you are. Love you'

 Q, We are mutual morons, no?  From those hateful cold vibes in May last year, we stand on a different threshold altogether today. Did you ever in your wildest of imaginations, think it would bring us where we are  Today .back then..hahahah I dint!!...

 Hahahahaha what was that?? Its unbelievable to see that times would change the way it did. We did share those cold vibes in May last year around SPA and I came to know that you felt ignored and left out. I don't think it was deliberate on anyone's part, but it might have happened as there were not many new members then. We were busy in our own world and during that time Yoj and I was going through something very annoying. So we never interacted much on the FC during that month (And tumhe bhi usi month aana tha wahan pe)

 But I am glad that you came back. (it's courtesy Yoj, seriously every time.)But I never in my wildest thoughts ever think that you would now be one of my biggest confidant. It was someone else who brought us together around September ( Am sure you remember).And since then there has been no looking back. I can never ever forget the way you have been there with me and all the ups and downs of my life since September. Today I can rely on you and I know that there is someone out there always with her best wishes. It sometimes gets overwhelming to know that someone whom you never spoke to would turn out to be so special. Thank you so much for always being there'.

 

 (awwwww'..What do I say Daiz?. 'I am overwhelmed..

 

Whoever told you I felt ignored, I don't know where and how..it came from ??for I never felt that way Daiz.  I make it a point to enjoy everything I do in life and I backed out for a while because I didn't deem it fit then. All I maintain, is that I sensed the cold vibes, something unspoken between us which is really really weird for we didn't even have reason 'hahaha..see that's why I call us mutual "morons" 'for no good reason'dammn

 

As for being there, I think, it's mutual and I believe you are the only one from the FC, with whom I could ever dare to open up about my personal life and certain personal dilemmas that I was going through (courtesy: those misplaced SMSes ). There was once, you sensed it in my voice only while speaking to you and you caught me. I will never forget that. There is something very soothing in the way you calm me down every time I am panicky or am in a dilemma. No wonder you have  tried pacify Harshad every time. I now know, where you'd be coming from then. Why do you thank me? I had to be there, the way you are always there..and I am sure, this will last forever, for I know, we dont have just Harshad in common..)

 

 Q, Dammn and that Rakhi Day declaration you made last year on the FC. I am never forgiving you for it. LOL!!

 

  (Puts dil pey pathar before posting this Wahiyat answer'She challenged me she will protest and would post her self if I didn't  or else I would have never put this)

 

  That was Ooh la la'.Hahahahahahaha'..See I never wanted you to be Harshad's sister'But you yourself insisted that you wanted to be his most adorable sister and would go to any lengths to get this most coveted title. You also declared that you had just couriered a HUGE rakhi to him which he has received with great pleasure and was now even more eager to meet you. He so wanted to wear that rakhi from your own hands. Don't worry. Coming August (5^th ) I am for sure arranging a huge ''rakhi party'' for you. This year is gonna be ever more special. You are dear to me and I just cant see you like thisHahahahahahahahahah ( I can see Sidra Fidra behind me with belans and chapals and even sade hue ande..heheheheheh)

 

 (*chants out loud* Jhootey ka munn kaaalaa !*Tauba Tauba..itna Bada JHOOT Hai ye..for the uninitiated the so-called "huge rakhi" that Daiz is claiming here was actually RAKHI SAWANT!! These bekhandis were after my neck?! Can you believe it..koi nahi mila iseey and later everyone ganged up with her, mein hi mili, so I gave in and said yeah I am sending him a surprise special RAKHI! so that RAW jails her (all in good fun though )

 

  Q, Any closing remarks about the interview? Anything at all you'd like to say as you draw curtains to it?

 

 ''Yeh kis kambaqht ne likha hain''..Seriously Sidra ...My school and college exams were never so grilling. I can just come and beat you with with my bare hands. Hahahaha'.

 (Ya right, people that was her first reaction when she first saw this questions "''Yeh kis kambaqht ne likha hain'' and later "churaillllllll" " when I spoke to her)

 No I seriously LOVED every bit of it and just wanted to go on and on. You made me go down memory lane, made me again nostalgic, made me feel a part of the FC and made me feel so special. I am truly touched and overwhelmed. I never thought that it would be necessary to include my inputs too but I am on top of the world. You guys have always made me feel special and the kind of love that you all shower is so genuine and touching. Thank you so much for everything and being a part of my life and always being there to listen to my wacko and moron like talks'Hahahahaha'.

 Q, Hi Raksh, how is it feeling right now? Lazy ehhh? You have a huge set of questions set before you to answer already?

Lazy??What's that??*confused muh*...EDIT: Ohh did not read the whole list at first...Boyy...what a long list of questions......

Q, The one thing that is bugging everyone today- The plight of Prem Juneja in the show; Any toddler will tell, the kind of stride the creatives have taken today with respect to the character was never Prem in the first place. Now what do you think should be the way out of it? Wiser for Harshad to quit or wait for the right moment ?

Lets face it...from an actor's POV....having to get to play a strong male character on Indian Television is a rarity which happens to very few blessed actors and without a ray of doubt Harshad is one amongst those elite club of the fortunate ones...Prem is, was and will always be THE BEST male character that the Indian TV has ever come up with....All because of the convincing manner in which Harshad portrayed the character...He practically made Prem a household name...Its been one year and even today I can still say Prem's character has remained strong to the core...He has his family as a baggage, but that's also his strong points...NOT giving up on people...I admit that small small glitches here and there did happen , but then its a daily soap and it tends to happen and especially because KDM has had its share of problems with the ever changing Creatives and not to forget the face off with the Star Plus...Despite all the ups and downs, I would still say Prem gave Harshad a scope to play different shades in the same show which the other actors can only dream of.....All said and done, one thing remains a fact and that is the job satisfaction...If there is none of it, its better to quit and move on...Because neither the actor, nor the viewers will be able to enjoy the character anymore, once the actor finds it as a drag...I still see a lot of scope for Prem...but if Harshad ever gets bogged down and wants to quit, he has our support!!!!

Q, From Mamta to LRL to Desh, how do you think Harshad has evolved as an actor?

Honestly...Prem is my first rendezvous with Harshad...After Prem happened, I got intrigued by Harshad, the actor and went and digged into the previous performances of his and I must say Harshad has always been a tremendous performer.....Just when we think he cannot get any better, he throws yet another acer of a performance at us...I know they say that its impossible to improve the perfection...but Harshad truly makes it happen with each performance of his!

Q, Today the situation in bollywood is a tad wit different from what it was in yester-years.  One doesn't have to be backed up by a family lineage to make it big there. Rajeev and Prachi Desai are living examples. What are Harshad's prospects in Bollywood as far as you see it. Do you feel this is the right time to take that call or he should take it as it comes?

I am not talking as his fan or anything...but as an onlooker who has seen his every performance with a critical eye and fell in love with the actor in him...I say, Go Harshad!...And its one of my and every fan of his' desires to see Harshad on the big screen....And I know, with the kind of actor and person(of what I know) that he is...he is going places....There is no right or wrong time...He should just follow his heart...However he should remember that he is young now and has age on his side and if he starts now, he would be able to take a few chances here and there and not find himself racing with the time!

Q, Harshad has time and again made his fans feel special. I believe its just his way of making us feel important albeit stemming out of the modesty/simplicity that runs in him. Your most memorable moment in this regard?

Oh how can I forget all those sweet messages he gave to us through Daisy and a few of his other lovely fans....I can mention a couple of messages which have defined him to me...One is when he was trying to make a futile attempt on telling us how Harshad the person, is just nothing special...His innocence, honesty and humility  have shined through each and every word...That was the first time I did not feel all that eerie about calling myself a fan...The second message that just made me completely admit for the first time, that yes I am indeed a fan of his...was when he sent a message through Daisy some time in the end of September when we were all unsure of the future of Prem and Harshad the actor...asking us to just compose ourselves and that that everything happens for a good reason....It spoke volumes about the care and concern he has for his fans and also it showed his fighting spirit and optimism...

Q, October was hell for us. First coming to terms with Prem's death and then the media hype over all that was going on. Oh well, all's well that end's well though. Do you feel there always  WAS and still is a silver lining to everything that happened back then.

Absolutely.!!!!..I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason...The silver lining is, we got to see Harshad's ever growing fan base and their love and admiration and determination to do anything to help him and bring him back into action....For an actor...what else could be more important than having a powerful fan base!

Q, Harshad the person has various shades associated with him from that masti khor side of his to the rationale he makes with respect to not just his career but life and circumstances. What do you think makes him stand out as a person?

I am not sure if I qualify to answer this question but whatever I read or saw or heard of him has always made me admire and respect him more and more...His humble and down to earth attitude is what makes him stand out as a person amongst the crowd....

Q, Given an opportunity to choose between an ALI and an LRL and a Prem and a Kis Desh. What would be your choice and why?

Hahaha...I LOVE both of them..If I must choose one, then You know my answer....Its Prem..koi shaq??One because he is only the second(and hopefully the last...lol) male Hero on TV that I fell in love with (after Sujal, that is)...and two because Prem HAS a lot of Ali in him, but Ali lacks a lot of traits that I love in Prem...

 Q, What is that one area, where you think there is yet room for improvement if there is even any in the first place, as far as Harshad is concerned?

I am sure he is his own best critic and if there were any improvements needed, I am confident that he WILL make sure he makes those corrections....He is a full package deal like Hrithik Roshan and he SHALL excel...be it the telewood or bollywood...

Q, You have been the official coiner of "THE" with Prem., where and why did this THE Prem come from and how did you conceive it.

Haha...that's because I have this habit of stressing the main point by either writing it all in capital letters or adding a 'The' to it...The first time I added THE to Prem was when he begins his detectivegiri to get to the bottom of Manmeet's matter....Ohhh that was all Vintage Prem!!!!!

Q, How do you feel about his THE ness today. Do you think, its coming back or if it's still intact atleast at the macro level.

Oh..Prem is Prem is Prem...PERIOD...After more than one year of the show, except for a few hick ups here and there...Prem predominantly remains THE Prem!!!!

Q, Daisy has always claimed that you bring that sensibility with the madness. A different kind of maturity that makes you stand out in the crowd albeit accompanied with your sense of humor. hmmm hmmmmm LOL

Awww...I know Daisy has always been kind with her words...I would like to ask her if she STILL thinks the same about me....ROFL....But Daisy...if not for you, I would've probably not even entered this FC...I still remember your humble PM in reply to mine and then me seeing one of your posts in the forum where you were talking about the FC....At that time, I have never entered the Fan club forum, not even to check RK's FCs...Truly my joining the FC has everything to do with you...Thank you so much for all those kind and nice things you always say for me...The way you used to conduct the FCs and the way you used to dilligently make it a point to be here, your love towards each and every person...all these made my stay in the FC permanent...You are one awersome person....Your dedication and loyalty towards Harshad is simply amazing.....I and Zu always consider you as the truest fan of Harshad..

Q,What makes  you and Payal click. Somehow, it always happens and even as Payal claims it time and again, whenever she is low or bogged down, she tries and reason Prem with you and its not until she has done so, does she feel at peace.

Oh Prem and his The ness is what has really bonded us to begin with...Its another thing that now we share a friendship thats above and beyond Prem...but Prem is still the main topic in our convos...At the end of the day, we just have to catch up with eachother and discuss and analyze Prem...Then we both convince eachother that yeah, the THE ness is still intact...lol...P is one of the honest and genuine people I met in my life....She comes across as the most hardworking and true human being...I just hope I could be half as hardworking as her....

Q, Minus the times when you end up calling me a bachi(SERIOUSLY!!) in the process, dissecting Prem  has always been fun with you especially during vacations. Ofcourse the feminist in me may be a little crushing at times, how many times have I made it literally nerve wrecking  for you? 

Oyeee you are at least 5 years younger to me and that surely makes you a bachi...but if you insist, then I will try to ignore that......Oh debates or no debates, you are one of my favorite chat companions..PERIOD!!! 

Sids...You and Zu are one more reason why I love Harshad and Kis Desh more and more....If not for this show, I would've probably not found you guys again....You toh were all set to hate me for life........Thank God for this show...now I have some more people to count on, in my life...You are one of the liveliest people I have met in my life so far...We have chatted for like hours and hours and I left wanting for more...I can talk to you of anything and everything...Oh..I have so much to tell you but I don't know how...Arghhh I suck at expressing myself at such things...but yaar...you know what you mean to me...don't you?

 (I was never set to hate you for life man It didnt matter to me much back then...but now it's a different story altogether..It's this attachment that I owe to you because of which, even when I am missing in action from the virtual world, I just have to make sure, that I am in touch with you atleast and blabbering was always mutually inclusive between us...You mean more than what words can justify Raksh..God Bless!)

An aspiring Journalist and a student at the Symbiosis, she has by far been one of the oldest members on the FC and my first friend here. Oft labeled as the Drooling Maestro, yet with a very docile and chirpy side attached to her, precisely what Yoj is all about. So, girls, girls and only girls, okay Harshad as well...lets dig into her questionnaire....

(Agreed completly! Prem can NEVER be repeated. The sooner, Ekta realizes the better. It's silly she is even making an attempt. Nor can anyone have the patience and perseverance with which Harshad has projected this character and neither that kind of commitment.I am not even speaking about talent here where, Harshad bails out any star any time any day! Here, he has lived the character, for the past one year...There is so much that he has given to it! It's technically next to impossible, to ever re-create the same magic in other show with other stars. Unfortunately, some things just cant be repeated)

 Vandu is our special guest of Honor. Yep, she is no fan of Harshad but an ardent well wisher. Easily, one of the biggest Rajeev Khandelwaal's fans, on board, she comes across with an amazing sense of humor, intellect and maturity. Infact Jidhar Rajeev ka zikar, Vandu wahan Haazir...I deemed it only fit, to incorporate a non-fan's perspective as far as Harshad's concerned. An interesting plight no? So voila, Ma'am RK, on the hot seat, there you go....

 Hmm''.I expect some rocking answers from Daisy Doo and Yojo Jojo'.reminiscing their long association with Harshad ! Though I already know all of it from them'..but still'.Can't wait to read their replies. Expecting lots of tid-bits on HC from you

 Expecting some very sweet things about him and adorable observations about him from Payal'!

Raksha'.hmm'Don't know something smart from the computer programming wali ! U better be good Rakshas'..Tum ek Rajeev fan bhi ho'..To izzat rakh lena'.warna tumhara dhadam te thudum kar dungi main !

 Q, You knew of Harshad since his LRL time and have been aware of his career graph at every step of the way. Being a non-fan and an ardent well wisher, how do you perceive him as an actor?

 Yeah I have watched him on LRL.And being a non-fan .but a very ardent well-wishe,.because some of my bestest  I-F friendz are his hard-core fans.That is Daisy Doo, Dancing Doll Yoj, Champakali Swathi and now'.Bholi-Bhali larki Payal! Also to add to the fact. Raj shared a cute bond with Harsh and Kunal.All this endears me to Harshad without even needing to watch his show.It's enough for me that sooo many of my favorite people in this world adore him'.So for me he is a very endearing'sweet and adorable person .

As, an actor, I would have less to say coz I have only watched him on LRL, Where too much chagrin' his footage was indeed very less compared to other cadets..People reading my analysis would know that I always brought up this point in my writings that Harsh was given the least footage out of all the cadets on LRL'.

 Opinion ' Honest'Reflective'.Sweet'.Adorable'.Controlled Emoting'no over the top tactics which is the most positive point in an actor'.because characters can easily go over the too. (That is by far his best trait as an actor, he NEVER goes over the top. He emotes without emoting much and its necessary to do this at times) Needless to say that Harsh and Kunal were indeed my favorite cadets on the show'.The top slot of course goes to "You know Who".

 I believe that Harshad possessed all these qualities in  his second show itself..And such actors grow with time because they have a fire in them to get better''And I am sure that had I been following his show'.Then I would have had much more admirable things to say about his mastery on his craft and skill'..Wish much more greater things in life to happen to him !

 Q, You have interacted a couple of times with him as well, as far as I know. How do you recall your interactions with him.  Of course ,Rajeev was the bone of contention between the two of you. How did it click?

 Wonderfully .He came across as a very down-to-earth guy and it seemed to me as if I was chatting with a Rajeev fan.Excitedly he chattered about how he never missed KTH till Rajeev was a part of the show.I found in him immense respect and adoration for Rajeev, which endeared Harshad to me completely

 People tend to get haughty with new-found fame and consider it silly to tell that even they had favorites when they were non-actors. But he wasn't one of them ,And that spoke a lot about him.That he is very grounded in life and very honest and forth coming about his thinking in life ! I wish and pray that he stays the same way always'..Humility is a treasured trait in a person in today's ruthless world'.Hold on to it Harshad'.It makes a person seem beautiful in every aspect'

 Q, Rajeev and Harshad. It's a pity, they never got to do a lot of scenes in LRL. How do you remember their scenes? What was the camaraderie like?

 Yeah.I for one went ga-ga over all Rajeev-Harshad..Very few in number..They were by far the best snippets of the show'..Unparalleled chemistry'.And such an exotic combination. Ahh."The Marwadi Sweethearts" set the screen ablaze each time they shared it'

I remember the scenes as being exceeding delightful '

 - Where Ali confesses to Rajveer that he wrote that love letter in Rajveer's handwriting to Naina at Major Bhargav's behest..

- Then the scene where he orders the Orderly Alekh about''there was a scene in the background where he talks to alekh and goes away and on the way he patted Harsh at the corridor '.Main Alekh ko chod ke background me stare kar rahi thi ki Raj-Harshad kya kar rahe hain'.hahaha!!

 - Also an interview of Rajeev-Harshad''which I didn't get to see full'..just saw one picture'.and heard a detailed account of it from Daisy Do'I was sooo miserable that I missed it when I heard the account'..I only saw a small part of it'.where Raj called Harsh "My Farex Baby"'.Awww !!!

 Q,  You know right how Ekta tried to make clones of Sujal in every other serial after KTH and now she is using the same tried and tested formula with our Prem Juneja, for he is his next successful character? Going by experience, what do you have to say about this. Of course, isn't it the age of innovation and creativity?

 No'..It is the age of "so called Inspiration" taking and "Copying"'''..Every show character turns to Sujal'..Kasturi was a complete remake with even the same to same dialogues and even same caped''And even that Kiting mohabbat hai show is going that way with that copy of the KTH computer mouse scene'.

There are reasons why I adore Harshad'which I mentioned and there are reasons I detest Ekta Kapoor and Balaji''.Any doubts why II DON'T watch Kis Desh'I don't know which emotion will win if I watch the show''..The Adoration or the Hatred''..Coz if I start disliking someone then nothing can change it'.And I don't want that to happen'..So I don't watch Balaji shows for the fear of starting to dislike the poor clueless actors in those shows !

 Q, On your fondest of memories from LRL with respect to this FC, the LRL forum, Daisy, Yoj and everyone else. Go on. Share it with us.

 The Analysis ' I owe my friendship with Daisy, Swathi and Yoj to that Analysis on the LRL forum which brought us all together'

Q, You have something or the other common with each one of us coupled with your rollicking sense of humor. How did you fit in so well with everyone be it Daisy, Yoj, Raksh and Payal.

 You know '.I think I have a multiple personality disorder'..Lol Because I am different with everyone'I can stay all ALONE without talking to anyone for days together,'..just survive on my books'.net surfing'.and music'And on the other hand I can talk non-stop and bug everyone till they run away'It just depends on how the person with me is'..I can be boring'.quiet'.chatterbox and adventurous..Probably that's because I m nothing''..So I just mirror the person with me'..like water takes the shape of the utensil it is poured into'..

 And Ya..I just click with some people..I am not the same in nature with everyone mind  you'..You know a Vandu whose description the others might not agree with. So it would b interesting if I ask people to say something about me'..Probably if u match it up it would seem that all the accounts are about different persons, not a single person..I DON'T get along with everyone...And all those whom I consider my friendz...I have considered them so, within 5 minutes of interacting with them.M NOT Nice rather me very much a Devil and ya indifferent to people I don't like.I can see right through them'..Once a friend I'll carry that friendship to my grave and do anything in my power for you. Provided ypu DONT break my trust ,even on the most irrelevant issues ! I DON'T forgivemy worst quality !

 So, I only mirror people's good and bad back to them'.Coz everyone deserves to receive the same treatment that they dish out to others..

 (You are "YOURSELF" Vandu..NO pretenses and that's the best thing about you)

 Q, You think we are good enough to scare the living day lights out of him, if we were to cook for him ALL together hahaha?

 Omgggggggggggg '..*Runs to warn Harshad about the disaster awaiting him * Technically '"Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth'"

On Second thoughts'..bechare ko shanty se jeene kyu nahi dete'..Jaan ke peeche kyu pade ho uske !!

But Hopefully the immense love you hold for him will take care of the dish to make it good enough to be appreciated whole-heartedly'

P.S. ' Main Fire engine and Ambulance tayyar rakhungi'.Like a true dost

 Q, Any closing comments about the interview.

 Phew !!! I finished it !! Yay !!''.Now Gimme my 4 crores for playing this "Who wants to be a Millionaire" (KBC -4) quiz show'..Kal tak adha cash and adha check me pahunch jana chahiye'..Check bounce mat hone dena'.Case thok dungi,'.Hahaha!!

  (Ya ya'throws  a Lollipop Vandu's way'don't forget to save some for me as well..warna jaan leylongi..paisey nahi hai aur lollipop key meray paas)

 On a serious note''I enjoyed it'..That doesn't mean I want a repeat of this'LOL'.But nice and well suited questions!

 

Payal

  She has to be the most sincere and sensible person I have ever come across. Her sincerity with not just Harshad, but with everyone else is class apart. Oblivious to the word "NO", you'd never see her loosing her calm.  A complete gem!!

Q, Hiiii Miss Goody-Two Shoes. So how many times are you going to kill me for calling you the epitome of all virtues and Mahanta on this ever green FC of ours.  Hahaha  what a question to kick this interview off with you.

    I'm sorry to say, Sidrah, that I see no way out now other than to simply end the show while there still an ounce of hope left for Prem.  The way I see it, the very groundwork of Prem has been tampered with, that too, in a way that is irredeemable now.  If the creatives attempt a redemption at this point, no matter the excuses they allow Prem, for the audience to truly be able to relate to Prem again, we would have to turn a blind eye to every crime committed towards the essence of the character.  We would have to overlook everything that Prem has done thus far that contradicts the character sketch which Mr. Bhinder, and then Vikas had set forth in the initial months.  Even then, I don't know that we would truly be able to forgive and forget.  Too much damage has been done.  I truly believe the only way out now is for the show to end. 

    By leaps and bounds!  Having seen his portrayal of all the various characters he's assayed, I can say with utter certainty that he has grown immensely as an actor.  It is no secret that he has an inborn talent, which was evident from his very first shot in Mamta, but over the years, he has taken that natural talent and coupled it with an immense amount of sincere, hard work, which helped him to hone in on his skill and perfect his craft.  On the sets of Mamta, he learned the nuances of acting; in LRL, he took those techniques, and used them to further improve his abilities.  He began to connect to the character he portrayed, and really get under the skin of his on-screen counterpart.  Over time, this seems to have helped him better not only his confidence and comfort level on screen, but also his voice modulation and, undoubtedly, his expressions.  Today, he simply commands screen presence.  Today, he seems to have honed his craft to utter perfection and is an actor well beyond his years in the industry.   

Q, Today the situation in bollywood is a tad bit different from what it was in yester-years.  One doesn't have to be backed up by a family lineage to make it big there. Rajeev and Prachi Desai are living examples. What are Harshad's prospects in Bollywood as far as you see it. Do you feel this is the right time to take that call or he should take it as it comes?

    Undoubtedly, I think HC has great prospects in Bollywood.  There was an article that came out recently about this as well; he was named one of the few tellywood actors that could make it in Bollywood.  I completely agree.  It goes without saying that he has the talent, and has what it takes when it comes to the hard work and dedication involved.  Not to mention he's multifaceted and can assay any kind of role with conviction.  I definitely think that HC could follow in Rajeev Khandelwal's footsteps.  With that said, I think he should just take it as it comes.  Now is not the time to go actively looking for something in Bollywood, but if the right project comes along'who knows, maybe one day we will see HC assaying the role of Mr. Bharjatya's next Prem'from the small screen Prem to the big screen?  I think he'd be perfect for it. 

Q, Harshad has time and again made his fans feel special. I believe its just his way of making us feel important albeit stemming out of the modesty/simplicity that runs in him. Your most memorable moment in this regard?

    Indeed, all's well that ends well.  However, silver lining?  A silver lining to all of that?  No, absolutely not.  I guess I'll keep my thoughts to myself here, I don't want to say too much.  I will say however that I am a firm believer in that everything happens for a reason.  Life has its own way of teaching us a thing or two - of telling us to sit up and take notice of the things around us.  I think last October was one such moment.  It is moments like this in life that, though at the time shake our faith, later go on to make us stronger and more determined.  Maybe if you'd like to look at it in this perspective, you may say that that was the silver lining - that it was one of those moments in life, that made us all sit up, take notice, and re-evaluate a few things. 
   
Q, Harshad the person has various shades associated with him from that masti khor side of his to the rationale he makes with respect to not just his career but life and circumstances. What do you think makes him stand out as a person?

    Undoubtedly his simplicity and sincerity.  The fact that he can be at the heights of success and still have his feet firmly planted on the ground - be as humble as ever, simply baffles me because you just don't see that these days.  I think the honesty, hard work, and determination that he displays towards his work is absolutely incredible'he has always inspired me in this regard.  No matter what, he has always remained true to himself, and I hope that this is one attribute that will remain with him forever.  All of these traits are simply awe-inspiring.  I think HC sets an example for us all'inspires us all to be better all around.

Q, Given an opportunity to choose between an ALI and an LRL and a Prem and a Kis Desh. What would be your choice and why?

    Raksh is smirking as we speak'and possibly Y Di as well.  Honestly, it would be impossible for me to try to choose.  Both are very close to my heart, and both are equally incomparable.  

 Q, What is that one area, where you think there is yet room for improvement if there is even any in the first place, as far as Harshad is concerned?

    First, I'd simply like to clarify that no, this is not the scene that got me hooked to the show.  The scene that got me hooked - or the performance rather, was HC's "Aap meri maa ho" scene that left me - awestruck, for lack of a better word.  Coming back to the topic at hand, yes, I have always maintained that after the "Aap meri maa ho" scene, this is my all time favorite scene of Desh.  As for the elaboration, honestly, I don't know.  For me, this entire scene was about the script - that dialog "Aakir tum mujhe mil hi gair'kab se dhoond raha tha tumhe"'because Prem had been, in fact, looking for her for a very long time - his whole life, that is.  Then he goes on to talk about wafa in a way that I have never heard anyone speak of it before.  Prem spoke of how he upheld each relationship with utmost honesty, and then went on to talk about a "wafa" for which he could break all barriers and leave all relations behind'it was a bit ironic in a way, but also extremely intense.  It was also coupled with an immense amount of honesty'the truth and depth of Prem's emotion really came across.  I honestly don't know what to say apart from that'don't know exactly how to explain it'.I think it was just an incredible dialog, coupled with a perfect performance, and incredible emotions'not to mention, I think it was a crucial point in Premeer's story.  Sorry if I seemed to get carried away'

Q, Speaking about Raksh, you really look up to her don't you *touchwood*? Where do you feel she gets Prem so right,  every single time.  It goes unsaid, even when we are bogged down with the proceedings of the character, she always has a good thing or two to justify him. And if I claim her to be the official "Prem" antaryami,  how much light does it hold as far as you are concerned.

    Yes Ma'am.  I do look up to her, and she knows it!  After seeing the episode and formulating my own opinions about Prem, I do not feel at ease until I speak with Raksh and confirm that her and I see eye to eye about Prem's actions for the particular day.  Recently, when I had decided that Prem's character was being tampered with a bit too much for my liking, I took a break from watching the show on a daily basis.  Then, it was Raksh whom I trusted to tell me whether or not I could/should watch a particular scene, because she was the only one I trusted to truthfully tell me if the essence of Prem had been contradicted.  She's the only one I trust when it comes to Prem, undoubtedly because she knows and understands Prem so well - she was after all, the one that coined him 'The Prem'.  I think her understanding of Prem simply comes from her blind faith in him.  She may or may not trust the creatives, but she trusts Prem unflinchingly and never refuses to give up on him, no matter what the circumstances.  Even now, when so many blunders have been afforded to Prem's character, she manages to find ways to justify his actions.  Of course, she's the first to come to his rescue when any Prem bashing begins - leave it to her to be the first to run to his defense.  I absolutely adore how she never fails to do this no matter what.  But the best thing is, she will call him out when he does something uncharacteristic as well.  Raksh is simply amazing when it comes to her dedication to her The Prem.  Having said all that, I think the title of Prem's official "antaryami" is very apt.
   
 Q, Oh God, I know how much Delo (Daisy) adores you. There has barely been any conversation of ours be it on phone or on chat where you have not been mentioned, and from what I know, you are one of the few people she continues being in touch with. She has always spoken in complete awe of you and of the kind of sincerity and commitment to you bring along. And before you blush any more than you already must be  by now, I hand over the bait to you to speak.

    Not blushing, my dear Sidrah, but extremely touched'I guess I could say all the same for her.  You know just when I joined the FC, you had coined her as "Daisy Don"'I really was scared of her those initial days.  I told her this back when she left last year'now it seems so silly.  I guess all I can say is that I am simply thankful that Daisy didn't leave us when she had originally planned to, after the 25th FC.  I don't even want to contemplate how we would have handled everything that happened in late Sept. - early Oct. of last year had she not been there to see us through it.  I have always admired and been in complete awe of the kind of sincerity and dedication she displays when it comes to HC, and also her commitment to this FC.  She's always said that she aspires to be even 1% of the kind of person HC is, but I truly believe that she is so very much like him in many ways.  Daisy is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, and I am so very thankful not only to have met her, but to have the privilege to continue being in touch with her, for I know that I still turn to her for every little thing when it comes to HC and this FC.  I honestly do not know what I would do if she was not there.  Just want to take this opportunity to thank her'for everything.

 Q, You had always as you said once "dreamt" of meeting Yoj. You Know I actually showed her that post and she was over whelmed. What  has it been like ever since your first encounter with her on the FC. Anything at all, that you would like to say.

    Yes Ma'am, I did say that.  It was the 32nd FC when Yoj finally graced us with her presence after a long hiatus, and I remember being nothing short of ecstatic upon seeing her (actually, I think I was floored to finally see her there as I had been palke biccha ke doing her intezaar for 10 FCs).  I felt as though some huge star had landed up on our FC'I think she herself felt like a celeb that day.  I guess my enthusiasm over meeting her stemmed from having gone through all the old FCs which allowed me to really get to know the original four.  I always knew that Daisy and Yoj were no less than two peas in a pod, and so just always wanted to meet Daisy's counterpart, I guess.  That was one crazy day on the FC'everyone was there.  Anyway, all I can say is that, "Miss Meanooooo"'Yoj, despite this title, has been one of the warmest, nicest, sweetest people I have ever met.  Though we have not interacted extensively as she continued to be busy with her Symbi and now her crazy work schedules, every time we have interacted, the one thing that has stood out about her is that she is extremely friendly and amiable.  She's the kind of person that you just take to immediately.  And what to say about the blushing.  Its hard to come by a post of hers where she has not used the embarrassed blush wala emo.  So cute!  (Yes Yoj, I picked up on that just by reading thru the old FCs.)

Q, Your message to the FC and the new wave of members that is seen these days?

    Hiiii FCers!  Just want you guys to know that this place, and all of you mean a lot me.  Please continue to love and support HC through the rest of Prem, and thereafter - no matter where his fate takes him.  I hope when this FC celebrates its golden jubilee, or then completes a century, all of you will still be around indulging in the same bekhandapan that has now become a staple of this place (in moderation, of course).  God Bless'All my love'

Thank You Guys. It was an amazing feat grilling you guys...living with the Gaalis and nagging you all. The answers are incredible and the best bit is barring a few, most of them are in complete coherence. Speaks of our telepathy!!  Awesome stuff. I think this FC will be forever memorable for me and it is more so because of the back ground fun we indulged in the process. Payal went running away for her life, the moment I gave her the questions, Daiz with her gaaalis galores, Raksh was "wait before I get to you, Sids, these questions are wacko" , Vandu screamed a huge NOOO, the first time Payal nominated her on MSN,and Yoj ever-ready to answer them!  Incredible camaraderie!

Sidrah

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!!

Luv Nans, Kerala, India

Awards are a token of appreciation. A moment of celebration. A moment of realization of the level of support you garner.

More so when they are by popular voting, they are like a manifestation of the support, admiration and attachment of hundreds and hundreds of faceless nameless people who go out of their way to make the win a possiblity.. Who are proud to call themselves your fans. Who would go all out to see that sweet smile of victory and satisfaction on your face. Who consider you winners despite the outcome.

Teamed with meticulous effort, endless hard work and continuous dedication on the actors part. This support and love makes any impossible seem possible. When we feared for the worst in these awards and clinged on to hope and believed they shall always be Winners for us :-) They won and made us truly ecstatic!

For us, who fell in love with a pair of two seemingly ordinary people known as Prem and Heer. We grew close and attached to their story, their essence and their portrayal. And the story and character ceased to be mere fictional characters and more like part of our lives and people we actually knew. We cried with them, We smiled with them, We blushed with them. And so much more. We experienced a whole array of emotions. With the span of a year it was a bittersweet and enchanting journey. We fought for them. We get angry with them. We LOVE them :-) And that is exactly the reason it mains to see them tampered with or ruined *sigh*

HC and AG- Those two people who brought these characters to life and made this two seemingly ordinary people into such extra-ordinary ppl. Without their dedication, sincerity and sheer hardwork, this would definitely not have been possible. These two redefined Chemistry for us. They introduced us to the world of awesome Hand Chemistry and Eye Chemistry  From the tiniest of nuasance they polished and crafted it in the most beautiful and innocent way possible.

Regardless of the tactless handling of the track and plot or any twists and turns that were required for a daily soap. Prem and Heer would be the favourite jodi, favourite bahu, beta and so on for us..

And today winning the Favourite Jodi is truly APT. No two people have been able to bring life to two mere fictional characters with such poise and perfection! A huge round of heartfelt applause and congratulations on this success. Kudos to them.

Wishing you many many more milestones.
May you conquer the whole world and make all your dreams come true..

Keep Smiling and Keep Shining
Lots of Good Wishes

Congratulations Harshad, for winning the most prestigious best jodi award in SPA 2009 .  You are a brilliant actor and deserve to win all the awards out there. In fact as someone here said yesterday that if you don't win an award its the award's loss that it did not reach your hands!!!  You are an amazing actor with great amount of talent.  We hope you will keep working hard and will reach a stage when the world would know that awards are irrelevant for someone as talented as you are (for us they are irrelevant even now because we know you are the best but we want the world to see it too). Honestly I haven't seen any Indian TV actor portray emotions as brilliantly as you do!!!  You are the best amongst the lot at the moment and I hope you keep improving and reach much greater heights!  We the fans will always be behind you, praying for your success.
 
Keep rocking and wish you all the best in your life and career.

Nadia

 Harshad, your an amazing actor and have never disappointed your fans. By the way, I have to admit you're damn adorable and the short hair totally suits you. I hope that Prem and Heer always remain together, as I love you guys.... fantastic jodi!

Hearty congrats to you on winning Star Parivaar Award 09 for best jodi. It was a pleasure voting for you, and you never cease to amaze me with the intensity and sincerity in which you portray every nook and nuance of Prem Juneja. Your onscreen chemistry with Additi is divine, beautiful. Keep rising higher and higher.

My best wishes are always with you.

Yasmin, London.

Hey Harshad,

Congratulations on winning the award for the best jodi in SPA. You and Additi truly deserve it. The hard work and dedication that you have for your work really shows on screen and you deserve a lot more than this for all your efforts. I hope you reach greater heights of success. We all love you and will always be there for you.

 Hi Harshad Bhaiya,

 Congratulations to both of you for winning the prestigious award of Favoruite Jodi for the second year in a row. You so deserved it.

 Harshad Bhaiya, thank you so much for giving us Prem. You portray the character so beautifully, I never realised as if you are acting. Whenever you come on screen, it feels like actually a real life person is standing in front of me...and all credit goes to you because your screen presence is such, we never felt as if we are watching a fictional character. You made us believe that in this kalyug, people like Prem do exist, who love their family so much, who can feel the pain of their love. I dont think anyone else would have handled Prem so beautifully, gracefully and maturely but at the same time never forgot his simplicity.

 For me, you are not only an ideal lover and partner, but also an obedient son and a wonderful and loving brother. No wonder everyone in the family loves you the most. Aap hain hi itne pyaar ke kaabil...be it real life or reel life. In reel life you are getting the love and affection of your Juneja family but in real life, besides your own family members, you have the support of the whole world. I am sure your real life parents must be proud of a son like you, like we are proud to be your fans and well wishers. You rule our hearts, millions and billions of hearts..

 I wish you all the very best for your future. Whatever you do, may the success come automatically to you, because whatever project my Harshad Bhaiya (I hope you didnt mind me calling you Bhaiya) gets associated with, the success has to be there.

I would also like to request you one thing. Harshad bhaiya, please never change, always remain the way you are, simple and down to earth, for that makes you the best person in the whole wide world. This simplicity reflects on the screen and that makes you Prem...OUR Prem, who is not any fictional character, but one amongst us.

 Aaki simplicity ko dekhkar yeh zaroor kehna chahungi,

Be like a diamond, precious and rare

And not like a stone, found everywhere

You are a diamond for us, precious and very rare to find.. So be like this, always.

May god shower his blessings on you always and give you everything, whatever you ask for, whatever you never asked or just thinking to ask for as well...

 Love you always,

Monika (London, UK)

Sophia, Pakistan

My heartiest congratulations to you for winning the most coveted title in SPA, the Best Jodi!!

No one deserved it more than Additi & you in this category, which reminds me, congratulations to Additi as well because this award would be incomplete without her as Prem is incomplete without Heer!

Both of your chemistry, timing, camaraderie, support to each other for your performances, acting, everything seems perfect onscreen which no one can negate. We the audience are simply bowled by your jodi & the perfect chemistry you both portray. If I may say so you two sizzle onscreen. Thank you both for this daily pleasure.

You were my winner much earlier when I voted for you & when you received the award it was just a mere official acknowledgment. If you hadn't received any due credit, then too you would be my winner any day! I sincerely hope & pray that you achieve such recognition all throughout your life & career simply because you deserve it. May all your dreams & aims in life take shape in such fruitful manner.

Once again heartfelt congratulations to you & hope many such honors like this would be bestowed on you in the future!! Have a wonderful & successful life!

One of your innumerable well wisher,

 Lana Ghosh.California, USA.

Hi Harshad!

Congragulations! I'm very happy that you and Aditi won the best Jodi award. You guys truly deserve it. Prem and Heer have been presented to us so beautifully, so well crafted with the smallest details kept in mind. During the journey of Kis Desh, you have crafted a beautiful painting for us of Prem like a skilled painter. I think you guys are amazing actors and you display and communicate the emotions your character feels so well that i can connect to them every time. Thank you for bringing these wonderfully fantastic characters to life. For us, you guys aren't only the best jodi, but also the best beta, bhai, pati...I think you get the point. You may not have won them but you have won all our hearts with your fabulous acting. I'm so happy you were recognized for your talent and hard work. We shall pray and vote for you 'til you continue acting. I wish you all the luck in the world in achieving your goals in life. Hope you continue acting as Prem.

 Yours Truly, Madhuri (Calgary, Canada)

Dear Harshad

Dear Harshad and Aditi,

 

We are overwhelmed and happy that the most loved, adorable and sweetest jodi in the entertainment industry has won the award.  You both deserved the win.  But this should not be the end for you both.  Both have to travel...miles before you sleep.

 

You will be Successful in future too because you have :-

The Courage,

The Determination,

The Will to become the person you believe you were meant to be, and
The Courage to fulfill your vision that comes from your passion, not from the position you hold.

 

You control your future, your destiny.  What you think about comes true...

 

Just a suggestion for your future endeveour -

This is actually by his holiness Swami Vivekanand -

"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced." 

 

So we wish you both to follow the same path .

 

There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less than perfect conditions. So what? With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful. This is all we crave and want for you both. You have the power to make yourselves.

 

Last but not least :

Put your future in good hands - Be Quality oriented not Quantity and you will become a BRAND in your self.

 

Love you forever !

 

With Warm Regards,

Svetalana and Family.

 

Mumbai - India



Hey Harshad,

My Heartiest CONGRATULATIONS to You and Additi For winning THE BEST JODI AWARD in SPA.

You Both definitely deserved  it the most.

What do I say....I still remember the first day I started watching Kis Desh...it was 19th June 2008, when Prem leaves with Heer
To stay in the chawl. As always, I started watching the show just for YOU coz Ali was my fav character.
But as days passed by, I was watching the show for PREM AND HEER. Their Lovestory, their sacrifice, their struggle. It slowly became an important part of my life, and it still is...coz for me, Prem and Heer are not just the best jodi of Star Parivaar but they are the
best jodi of Indian television. I am very very happy that you won the award which u very well deserved, but lemme tell u, for me u are the winner of each and every category  u were nominated in. I am very happy, Harshad, that u got the award and I will pray that u get many many many many more.

For me Prem and Harshad are incomplete without each other. There can't be a Prem without you, and Prem has indeed become integral part of your life. You have given your BEST for Prem.

May God Bless You, and keep you healthy. Tumhe buri nazar se bachaye. May you always keep smiling.
Inshallah you will get many more awards in the future, coz you are born to win, and along with the awards you have won the hearts of lakhs of poeple. You are born to RULE and u will rule the industry for LONG...BEST OF LUCK FOR EVERYTHING!!!

LOtS of Love and Duas,
Yasmin
