Harshad Chopda On Shivangi Joshi
During a conversation with Shreya Kalra, Harshad Chopda was asked if he had romantic feelings for Shivangi Joshi. When Shreya asked, "Do you like her?", Harshad replied, "Who doesn't like her?" As Shreya clarified that she meant the kind of affection "that a boy does to a girl", Harshad explained why he never saw a future together.
He said, "Look, you have to imagine her in a certain family, in a certain kind of a set-up. I don't have that set up. I'm an actor, I'll never have that set-up." When Shreya suggested that money or age should not matter, Harshad disagreed and pointed to differences in lifestyle. He added, "At least, the lifestyle she needs and requires. You need someone who can buy without planning. I have certain responsibilities. I also have goals. I want to set up a system which will require a lot of money."
Harshad also claimed he had observed Shivangi closely while working with her and said, "I've worked with her for 3-4 months. I've seen her setup. She's a proper heroine, brother. You'll go crazy looking at her entourage. It's not a joke."
