Harsh Varrdhan on the misconception that hounds him just because he's Anil's son


 Actor Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor has said that it is 'unfair' of some people to assume he is just like any other privileged person, because he's Anil Kapoor's son. Harsh and his sisters, Sonam and Rhea Kapoor, have all followed in their father's footsteps and joined the film industry.

In an interview, he said that people who don't even know him are ready to jump to conclusions about him as a person. He also admitted that he always wanted to be a writer-director, and that he hopes to branch out from acting some day.

Asked what misconceptions he feels people have about him, he told Cosmopolitan, "That because I am Anil Kapoor’s son, I take everything for granted. That I am just like any other famous, privileged person. I think that’s a big generalisation...a conclusion that people jump to very quickly. But they don’t even know me, which I find very unfair.”

In a recent interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor said that he is 'hated' by a minority just because he's Anil Kapoor's son, regardless of what he has achieved in life. He said, "Because of the path that I've taken, with doing the alternative films and not doing the conformist, regular movies, and not being in the media too much, and doing my own thing, a lot of the people who've consumed my work have more of an idea of what I'm like. So I do get not as much hate. Obviously, no matter how well I do, no matter how many films I do, no matter what I achieve in life, there will be a small minority of people that will want to hate me because I'm Anil Kapoor's son."
