Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, the son of actor Anil Kapoor, stepped into Bollywood and made his acting debut in 2016 with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Mirzya. The film also starred Saiyami Kher. Mirzya was one of the most anticipated films of that year and Harsh Varrdhan made headlines for his off-beat choice of cinema. Now, 4 years after the film's release, the actor opened up about how he would be transparent and honest in his interviews before Mirzya's release and then realised that he has to be a little conscious of what he says. In an interview with an entertainment portal, Harsh Varrdhan said after his debut film, he had his 'guard up'.
"After Mirzya, I feel I always had my guard up a little bit. I was very open to talk and transparent and be very honest and sit down and have a normal chat. But after Mirzya I realised that I have to be a little conscious to what I say. When I sit down for an interview, I like to be honest but it’s up to the person on the other end of the interview to be able to say that ‘this guy is being honest and coming from a good place, he is confiding in me, so I also need to take care of him," Harsh Varrdhan told.

Harsh Varrdhan further revealed that some producers told him to sound dumb in interviews. "Also, it was also the fact that I was doing the off-beat cinema. People have so much love for Anil Kapoor, that have expectations that you have to be a certain way. As soon as you are different and embrace that individuality, it’s not going to be accepted right away. It would be naive to think that. Some producers told me that I need to sound dumb in my interviews. They told me that I come across as too intelligent and I am going to alienate the audience," he added.
Harsh Varrdhan was last seen in Netflix's anthology, titled Ray.
