This sends a good message out that aap logon ne akele poora ka poora Bollywood se nepotism hi khatam kar diya (audience alone finished nepotism from entire Bollywood).”The crowd erupted in applause at his candid and inspiring words. Harshvardhan, visibly moved by the response, folded his hands and added, “I hope you like it. And those of you in your family who haven’t watched it, please come once again with them.”His statement has since gone viral, with fans praising him for promoting healthy competition and celebrating the success of fellow outsiders like Ayushmann Khurrana.
