Despite coming from the film industry, he didn’t follow the same glittering road to fame as his father and sisters. His father is one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actors, known for films like Mr India, Slumdog Millionaire, Beta, and Nayak. His sisters? Equally successful in the film and fashion industries. Yes, we’re talking about Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, the youngest son of Anil Kapoor and brother to Sonam and Rhea Kapoor. Born on November 9, 1990, in Mumbai, Harsh Varrdhan had a box full of opportunities, but he chose a journey that’s anything but ordinary. Before stepping into the limelight, Harsh Varrdhan started his career as an assistant director on Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet (2014). He then marked his debut in the lights-camera-action world with the 2016 film Mirzya. Made under the direction of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, the film had all the elements of success, such as poetic dialogues, a classic love story, and a soothing soundtrack. Despite the hype, the film failed to connect with audiences. After this, the actor took a break from the entertainment industry for two years and made a comeback with the superhero movie Bhavesh Joshi. The movie received a positive critical reception from the audience, and Harsh Varrdhan’s performance was also widely appreciated by all. However, it was also a flop at the box office. Made on a budget of Rs 21 crore, the film only grossed Rs 4.35 crore. After this, he was seen in a small role in the OTT movie AK vs AK, which starred Anurag Kashyap and his father, Anil Kapoor, in lead roles. He then jointly produced and starred in the Netflix movie Thar with Anil Kapoor in 2022. The neo-western thriller marked his shift from being just an actor to a creative force behind the camera. After Thar, Harsh Varrdhan stepped away from films, but he remains in the public eye for his fashion sense, fitness, and love for art. Recently, Harsh Varrdhan made headlines for buying a Rs 5 crore luxury apartment in Mumbai. Located in The Smoky Hill CHS Limited, the apartment has a carpet area of approximately 970 square feet. The location is one of Mumbai’s most connected areas, with business hubs like the Bandra Kurla Complex and Lower Parel nearby. While his Bollywood journey hasn’t mirrored his father’s success, Harsh Varrdhan continues to grab eyeballs with his fitness and fine living.
