Harshvardhan Kapoor Has a Bone to Pick With Filmfare

“Don’t feel entitled to any award, I’m questioning the principles of who is a newcomer,” says Harshvardhan Kapoor.

Harshvardhan Kapoor is miffed after he lost out on the Filmfare Award for Best Debut Actor (Male) for his role in Mirzya. The award was given to Diljit Dosanjh for his performance in Udta Punjab.

It seems Diljit does not fit the definition of a newcomer because, according to Harshvardhan, he starred in a Hindi film in 2008.

He also pointed out the fact that he would not mind losing out to Neerja’s Jim Sarbh, who was also nominated in the category.

But the Executive Editor of Filmfare Awards seems to be giving it back to the actor for raising such doubts.

He also wrote that he was merely sharing his thoughts.

And then he points out that Diljith was in a Hindi film in 2008.

Diljit has worked in numerous Punjabi films and is a recognised talent in the Punjabi music industry as well.
