MUMBAI: Sushant Singh Rajput started his career with television. Before getting a big break with Pavitra Rishta, the late actor was a part of the daily soap Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil, which had also starred Harshad Chopda and Additi Gupta in the pivotal roles. 

But back in the day, Chopda was accused of chopping Sushant’s lines. The show was a debut project for Sushant, who played the role of Harshad’s younger brother therein. 

Last year, Sushant Singh Rajput’s sudden demise shocked the entire world including his fans and the Bollywood industry at large. 

After a month or two, Harshad Chopda also paid his tribute to the late actor on Star Plus’ ‘Ganeshotsav’ event. But his tribute didn’t go well with some of his colleagues and they raised their voices against the same. His tribute also received backlash from the Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil's director’s wife and co-star Deepak Qazir.

Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil’s director Garry Bhinder’s wife told the press that Harshad Chopda would often cut Sushant Singh Rajput’s lines while they were doing the show together and for obvious reasons, this didn’t go down well with the SSR’s fans, who later trended the actor on Twitter as well.

Deepak Qazir, who also played the role of Sushant’s father on the show, confirmed his wife’s statement and revealed that he witnessed this on his own twice. He revealed, “I myself have witnessed this twice. Also, being the main lead hero, he used to get things accordingly like a single vanity van for him whereas Sushant used to share vanity with 2-3 other actors but he never complained. I am sure when Sushant must have started doing Pavitra Rishta he must have started getting his personal vanity and stuff.”.

Slamming Harshad Chopra, Deepak Qazir told the publication, “I am angry only at the fact that you never treated Sushant that important and now when you are given some money you are doing drama in one of the Ganapati specials on a popular channel. And I personally found it in a very bad taste.”.
