Harshad Chopda recalls being scared of gay person
While interacting with
Kundali Bhagya actor Dheeraj,
Harshad recalled an old incident where he ran away after meeting a gay person. Before narrating the story, the
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor stated that he once did a ramp walk, but didn't get paid for it. And it's because the actor had to go home and collect the money.
Talking about fleeing after meeting a gay person, the actor shared, "
Pehle na main bhaag jaata tha seedha. Samajh nahi aata tha. Uss insaan ko main kuch din pehle mila tha. Darr bahut lagta tha, uss time pe bhaag gaya tha bahana bana ke ki shoot hai. Usko pata tha ki shoot cancel hai phir bhi main bhaag gaya tha."However, when Harshad recently met the person, he apologised saying that he didn't know how to handle the situation. The television actor admitted that he's not a confrontational person, and called himself
'phattu insaan'. "Maybe it takes me longer but mujhe darr lagta tha," he confessed. Dheeraj, on the other hand, said he is comfortable around gays. The actor personally believes that they are better human beings and sensitive towards everything. "They are wonderful," he added.
