I, Me, Myself! – Harshad Chopra

We are back again this week, with our I, Me, Myself! A segment where your favourite actors look into their psyche and answer some questions that they haven’t perhaps asked themselves as well in a while !!! The star we have picked this time is Harshad Chopra, your Mohan Gala from Dharampatni on Imagine TV, who answered the questions spontaneously as he felt that’s when he gives in his best ! Over to Harshad… 

1. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Rangmunch.TV: What is that you need to change about yourself?

   
   

   Harshad: I think I am very hard on myself. I follow a very strict discipline 

   when it comes to me and myself. May be if there is one thing that I need to 

   change it could be that.

   
   

   Rangmunch.TV: Do you crib and complain?

   
   

   Harshad: No, I don’t complain much.
   Rangmunch.TV: Do you take risks?
   Harshad: What seems like a risk to others has fortunately not been a risk in

   my case. Risks have always worked in my favour. So I don’t know, if it 

   counts as taking risks since, when you want to do something badly following 

   the path you want and doing it becomes easier.

   
   

   Rangmunch.TV: Do you thank people enough?

   
   

   Harshad: Yes, I do.
   Rangmunch.TV: What is the craziest thing you want to do?

   
   

   Harshad: I can’t tell you what is the craziest thing I want to do, but I can 

   tell you what’s the craziest thing I have done so far, (continues after a 

   slight pause and says) I stole something and the person is still unaware.
   Rangmunch.TV: Who has had the greatest impact on your life?

   
   

   Harshad: Somewhere at the back of my mind I always knew I wanted to 

   be an actor. And a lot of people have impacted me, but if I can think of one 

   name it would be Salman Khan. I look upto him as my Mentor.

   
   

   Rangmunch.TV: Do you procrastinate (postpone things for the future)?

   
   

   Harshad: Well more than often (laughs). Infact there was a time when due 

   to the work timings, my bill payments use to keep getting delayed, be it my 

   mobile bill, the internet bill but thanks to technology and online bill 

   payments which has made life so much more simpler and easy for people 

   like us. 

   
   
   Rangmunch.TV: Do you let other people’s negativity effect you?

   
   

   Harshad: No, instead I have heard most people say, that I end up lifting 

   their moods up and turning them into positive souls (laughs).
   Rangmunch.TV: Do you smile more than you frown?

   
   

   Harshad: Well as you can see for yourself, I do smile more than I frown.

   (smiles wide)
   
   Rangmunch.TV: Do you take time out for yourself?

   
   

   Harshad: To be honest I am a workaholic and when I am not shooting I like 

   to stay home. I am not a party animal and hence you will not see me 

   attending too many parties. After my pack up, I go back home and spend the 

   remaining hours with myself. I love working out and I owe that time to 

   myself. 

   
   
   Rangmunch.TV: Do you forgive yourself easily?

   
   
   Harshad: No, I am very hard on myself and self-discipline is most important 

   to me.

   
   
   Rangmunch.TV: Do you listen to your heart?

   
   

   Harshad: Since more than often I am unable to know the difference between 

   what my heart says and what my head does, I don’t know how to answer 

   this question best.

   
   

   
   

   Rangmunch.TV: Do you read enough?

   
   

   Harshad: (laughs and says) I only read my scripts.

   
   

   
   

   Rangmunch.TV: One thing you are grateful for in life.

   
   

   Harshad: Everything!! I am grateful for everything that life has bestowed 

   upon me.
