Harman Baweja: Hope people are a little more gracious to make up for the things they wrote about me
Hindustan TimesHarman Baweja, who returned to screen after 10 years with Hansal Mehta directed web show, Scoop, is garnering all the praise for his portrayal of JCP Shroff. “When you write something negative about an actor, it’s not just that individual, but a whole family behind, who reads it and get affected. And when the economics don’t work out, the opportunity is taken away, and that’s extremely fair,” he continues, “For me, what was more unfair was some of the personal stuff, which was written about me.” Glad that people are now recognising and acknowledging his acting chops, Baweja adds, “While they are appreciating my work, I hope they are a little more gracious than they need to be to make up for the things they wrote about me in the past.” The 42-year-old is currently enjoying this phase being a part of the industry, where he is able to take challenges in terms of stories and characters. But that didn’t happen,” he recounts, adding that the biggest setback in his career was when his debut film Love Story 2050 tanked at the box office.
