Harsh Chhaya goes to court

You knew him as Dr Manas in Zee's Astitva - Ek Prem Kahani. Harsh Chhaya was eased out of the script when the Ajai Sinha creation leapt 18 years, but now makes a comeback as an aggrieved father taking on the authorities in Star One's Siddhanth. The episode to be aired next week revolves around the country's VIPs, whose use of official vehicles often leads to congestion of traffic. Harsh plays father to a son who meets with an accident. He wants to take him to the hospital. Sadly there is a government official who is passing by, so the traffic is blocked; with the result that his son bleeds to death. Says Harsh, "Though this role is no different from what I have done, I had three days to spare so I just took up the task." So do we get jump to the conclusion that another brilliant artiste is shifting from dailies to episodic serials. The repartee comes fast, "I have been doing Astitva and almost 20 other dailies all these years." We get the hint, Harsh.
