Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, Bollywood’s young talent known for his roles in films like Mirzya and Bhavesh Joshi Superhero, recently made headlines not for his on-screen performances but for his epic clapback at an internet troll. The actor, who has a penchant for speaking his mind, found himself in a virtual skirmish on the social media platform X, after sharing his candid thoughts on the football club Manchester City.
Harsh’s post, which compared Manchester City to a “ponzi scam” and prophesized its eventual decline, sparked an unexpected backlash from a user who questioned Harsh’s acting career and mocked his financial independence. The troll’s comment, crudely suggesting that Harsh should focus on his film career instead of spending his father’s money on sneakers, was met with a swift and savage reply from the actor.
Listing his filmography, which includes notable works like Ray, Thar, Bhavesh Joshi, and AK vs AK, Harsh questioned the troll’s own achievements before labeling them an “irrelevant loser”. This isn’t the first time Harsh has stood up against social media negativity. He’s been known to engage with trolls, defending his stance while highlighting the absurdity of their unprovoked attacks.
Harsh’s approach to dealing with internet negativity sheds light on his philosophy of not letting unwarranted criticism slide, especially when it crosses the line of respectful discourse. His retorts are not just about defending his persona but also about maintaining the boundary between public figures and the often too-bold online populace.
While Harsh’s film debut Mirzya may not have been the box office success many had hoped, his subsequent projects have seen a mix of critical acclaim and audience approval. His portrayal in Thar, a Netflix release, alongside his father Anil Kapoor, and his upcoming role as Olympic gold medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra in a biopic, indicate a career that’s interestingly varied and still very much in the ascendant.
Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor’s journey in the film industry is a testament to his resilience, both on and off the screen. Facing the brunt of harsh online scrutiny, his responses highlight a mix of wit, self-assurance, and the reality of celebrity in the digital age. As Harsh navigates his career, one thing is clear: he’s not one to back down from a challenge, be it in acting or in taking on the trolls.
