This man deserved so much recognition loved his performance in hasratein and swabhimaan..His presence is great onscreen👏

I remember an incident- A Mr Chhaya taught us architecture as a visiting professor. Genuinely nice person. He invited us students to his house in Delhi, helping us out for case studies of residential colony. We met professors wife and she shared her despair on how her son (who she introduced as an artist) is having marriage troubles. We sympathised, as you do in such situations and then I asked her out of curiosity what kind of artist is your son (thinking in my mind probably some painter / sculptor) ? She said an actor and then it clicked 🤦‍♀️ - her son is Harsh Chhaya - they were Harsh Chayya’s parents and all this while we did not have a clue. This was 1999-2000 ! Very nice people

Very very handsome actor, every one in our family liked him. Even today, he is adorable.

Harsh is one of the finest actors. His recent webseries in which he plays the Punjabi character is just outstanding. He hasn’t aged one bit. He needs to be in more movies and web shows.

Great to see Harsh Ji, he’s a terrific actor. Looks so young and fresh even after working for 3 decades!

Sharad Kelkar, Harsh Chhaya ki awaaz ..ufff ❤

Harsh carries an attitude that is depicted in his serials and movies, and it's due to his upbringing in the IIT campus. He possesses a persona of High Class Man.

Such a brilliant actor ! 90’s somehow had the best actors who came on tv first !

He is one of my first childhood crushes on television☺Superb actor,

I was very fond of harsh chhaya and shefali chhaya ,that time I was in my school they both were very goodlooking couple.

He is one of the classy and a very unique actor...i still remember him as "the Karan" from Swabhiman.

Underrated actor, fantastic Harsh Chhaya.

I had a huge crush on Harsh. He played the role of jijo in Tara. I was totally in love with him. Thanks Siddharth for this interview

Harsh. One of the finest actors. Hasnt aged a bit. Deserved more but glad to see him.

Hum log ek hi area me rehte hai... Main in se ek hi baar baat kiyi thi shyam ko walk karte waqt... He is very nice and down to earth person...

I remember him since the tv series named " chotti si asha "he did some 24-25 years ago. I must say this man just getting younger and younger as age advances. Hatts of to you sir 👍🏻

Harch chaya is underrated brilliant actor

Harsh is so real and down to earth. Always liked him ❤

He was 90s heartthrob and now looks much hotter than his contemporaries 🔥

What a fabulous actor. Probably one of the best actor of current times. Could be compared to Sanjeev kumar in terms of acting calibre. Unfortunately never got his due. Thanks for calling him.

Thank you so much for bringing one of my favourite tv stars ...still so good looking and speaks so honestly ... reminds me of the Hasratein days❤❤

So handsome and talented he is❤

Baapre he is looking more handsome now👌👌😊

he is looking good for 57yr old

When Harsh said “milte he bhai ban gaye”, no Sid Kannan was harmed 😜😂😂😂

Love from Jamia! Really feel proud to be from MCRC department which has nurtured artists like SRK and Harsh Chhaya. This interview has stirred lots of Jamia memories. 90s kid here!!❤

Thanks for inviting harsh

Call Kitu Gidwani, Sandhya Mridul, Malvika Tiwari.

He is from my community Nagar and his family is very well educated. He is under rated actor. His acting is phenomenal ❤

He's so honest. Honest people have it tough in life.

He's got a good voice, loved him in Hasreteein

He Used To Look Old When He Was Young And Now Young When He's Actually Old Wow 😂

As a kid I saw him in Khali Haath and instantly liked him as he came across as a good looking gentleman, since then have always been a fan and enjoyed all his different works. His acting has been always good teamed with his excellent voice, and great to see that he has maintained his good looks. It was really enjoyable to know him little as a person too through this interview.

He is from educated family reflecting clearly

He is handsome n well mannered ❤

Loved him from the Days of Astitva ❤

He is unapologetically honest because he knows the craft so he does not need to prove anything else. Since Swabhiman, I am his all time fan. (I am Doordarshan and movie and then OTT watcher so never seen any work on Zee or cable)

I remember those 90s Zee Tv serials, Harsh was one of those actors that acted with reality, Hasratein and Astitva were 2 serials in which he performed great. Guy needs to be seen more in Movies, he has a strong personality.

Cannot believe he is 57 years old

Karan from Swabhiman serial....

He is a so good, I have seen his all series with my husband. We never miss any apisode. Pls do work in ott

Thank you interviewing him.was keen to know about him.He is so good actor.After long time seen him

He looks so fit 57 years

What a personality, what a voice ❤ Have always liked him as an actor. And it's so visible how wonderfully Harsh must be taking care of his health and fitness considering this is how he looks at 57. And what's even more impressive, he's not looking made up and "botoxed young" like our BW 90s stars. If I didn't know his screen age, I'd have never believed he's in his late 50s. 30 se ek din upar nahi 😄 I also feel that honesty, no nonsense personality and straightforward nature does not take you too far in your career irrespective of your talent :( I was able to relate with so many things Harsh said.

So composed and docile ...Thank you for inviting and interviewing him Sidd !❤

Harsh, my father was an employee at IIT Kharagpur. I liked you as an actor since the day I saw Aarohan. Hats off to your talent and fitness. Par aapko body banane ki zaroorat nahi thi.

Hasratein serial my favourite time

What an incredibly charming guy, treat to watch such accomplished actors . Complete artists , - good personality, amazing speech diction delivery communication . Where are all these actors of this time . All the actors of this time were so exceptional , very watchable , unforgettable and so inspiring - do you see a single person like this around these days . We need to see more of him with lady actors as exceptional as them

Always found him a brilliant actor

So one day in the library of Jamia MCRC I was reading the newspaper and the Harsh's photo was published in it. One employee named Abdullah saw and said Harsh is also an alumni of Jamia MCRC.

He handled the Questions with Grace instead of washing Dirty linen in public. Wish him Success in his career.

Kannan..you had a weird expression on your face when Harsh was talking about his no nonsense attitude wrt workin hours and payments. It was almost as if you also did not like that side of him. But why? I feel what Harsh did was justified.

Nice to see him after so long

Unbelievable...he looks so good even now..sounds even better..had such a crush on him in CAMPUS

What a acting in ‘Undekhi' 👌🙌 Ghinn ane lagti hai uss character ko dekh ke.

Thanks for calling he is so good and my favorite actor ❤️

A very good Actor..i remember i have travelled along side him in Andheri Local in early days of career.. you still look the same young man..i hv become old i.like your attitude..keep up good work and best wshes.

Pure hearted personality ! Stay blessed .

Sid , you are amazing bro I wanted to see Harsh Chaya Ji spilling beans about his life and career You got tremendous sense of excellent content. You are Graham Norton of India and never interrupts the guests Anupama Chopra Ji is classy, but she cannot get true artists on her sets, just relies on stars and same old questions with new sophisticated words

Amazing interview. Such gold facts. I really think shefali and he were a mismatch. This guy has lots of thehrav

Thanks sid ji colling harsh ji...

He’s my favorite. Very fine actor ❤❤

Superb artist Harsh Chhaya and very good interview Siddharth ji.

Watching him from Hasreteein, he looked so handsome then and now as well

Ma sha Allah ❤.. Harsh my all time favorite and Sid thank you so much for interviewing him ❤❤❤

Long time seeing harsh sir....❤

I have always liked this actor! A very natural actor. And his presence, his acting style in serials of the 90's.. Is just superb. One thing about his acting, that always stands out is his naturalness. Effortless acting... At such an age, he looks so good. Still looks like he used to look in the 90's! Really happy to see him! 🙂👍

Omg harsh looking 🔥 n yes hez litreally straight forward guy he values his time n money both gr8 n good actor

He looks better now than in Hasratein

Harsh Chaya is my childhood crush

Sid sir knows to ask the exact questions in the viewer's mind❤

He is 57 ....wow ...looks so young

Healthy version of Jackie bhagnani

Great introspection. Loved all of Harsh’s work. He was great in Undekhi . Love how he’s looking so young and handsome! Loved him in Hasratein too. Please make Undekhi Season 2.

Very good actor n a nice human being. Always admired him.

What an impressive and good looking actor. Would love to see more of him.

Brilliant actor. So very well narrated. He should write a book ❤

Good to see Harsh Chayya on your podcast

He is a really big star of 90s television, we love such interviews, kudos to sidharth kanan for bringing those star stories that we want to listen. ❤

He is a really good actor ..big fan ❤😊🙏

Thank you...He is the best

Where he gone missing side thanks for he bring him on screen feels like lost a close friend

I saw Harsh very first time in the show "Hasratein". And loved him very much.

Harsh Chaya is one of the best acting talents industry has ever produced.

Loved this! ❤

Khali haath was a beautiful series and i loved Harsh Chaya ..he was lovely heartthrob material....he played a very difficult role of a mute if i am not wrong...he did not get his due Awesome brilliant actor ... hopefully he has more to give to acting and good directors can make use of it

Harsh is a very good actor. Abhi bhi bahot Handsome hai ! Very charming man 😊

We are very fond of him. My brother acted with him in Madhur’s movie Mukesh Tyagi. Great interview Siddharth.

He played doctor in life line serial with Tanvi Azmi as pediatrician and I was impressed by him and today I am a doctor for last 20 years. He was my ideal , as a doctor .

Ache lagte hain mujheHarsh Chaya ji

Wow....what a personality...Harsh Chaya.... I watched his series 'undekhi' what a performance he did just outstanding just because of Harsh Chaya I watched it...

V good talantesd acter harsh ji.. Aapko shafily k jodi mast the

Harsh is great artist. See superstar ek time pe stop ho jaate hai but artis is versatile woh har role achhe se karta hai. Harsh is great artist and my point of view is that artist is above superstar. I wish harsh chaya all the best and want to see more of his great work in future. From childhood we still remember him as KT of hasratein and karan of swabhimaan. Woh karan wala role of swabhimaan sirf harsh chaya hi kar sakte hai

Worth to watch this podcast.. maza aa gaya ❤

Have been his fan since his serial in doordarshan where he played the role of blind man... Khaali Haath... More power & blessings to him❤

One of the most underrated actors in the Indian film industry. An interesting pod cast. Harsh has a natural class and attitude that so many stars aspire to possess even after decades.

Loved the Podcast

What an actor 👏 and your questions 👏 so to the point

Nice to hear Harsh after so many years. Sid, Can u get Navnit Nishan pls
