Harshad, has made his comeback with the Balaji Telefilms show 'Taryay Liyay' where he's paired opposite rookie actress Anupriya Kapoor. The show launched on June 14 and clocked a cool TVR of 3.96 for its first episode. In its opening week, 'Taryay Liyay' drew an average TVR of 3.8. These numbers are impressive but Harshad Chopda fans are still disappointed. Their bone of contention is that Ekta Kapoor should have taken Additi Gupta and not Anupriya for this show.
We've received quite a few such comments from ardent Harshad-Additi fans. Below are some of the comments.
Surekha: Not..Ekta...it would have been better if she could cast Additi Pupta opposite Harshad in 'Taryay Liyay'. I hope the show flops big time
Urja: Girls love Prem, not Harshad. When he was with Heer, we were happy but now that he's with another girl, they are getting angry.
Dhiraj: Do not like Harshad this time. He's Ekta blue-eyed boy now. Want to see you with Additi.
Payal: The masala is missing without Additi Gupta. Not going to like the show no matter how great the concept is. .Sorry Harshad.!
So, how does Mr.Chopda react to such fanaticism?
"Well, this was expected. We've had famous jodis before, but none could create the magic like Heer and Prem. Whatever popularity I've achieved today is primarily because of 'Kis Desh...' Additi, as a newcomer really rocked, Tomorrow, if I'm paired opposite another girl in a new show, people will say the same thing about Anupriya." said Chopda, who now plays Anuraag in 'Taryay Liyay'.
Taking into account, the viewer feedback, would he then ask Ekta to consider adding Additi in 'Taryay Liyay'?
(Laughs). "I don't think can do that. Ekta knows what is best for her show. She's often gets her jodis right. I hope that tomorrow when Aditti takes up a new show with a new guy, the viewers appreciate their pairing. Once that show is over, the fans will no longer want to see me with Additi but the guy with whom she goes on to do her second show. I wish her all the best," Chopdaa concluded.
Amidst the Heer-Prem craze, our heart goes out to Anupriya Kapoor. Our Tanni of 'Taryay Liyay' though is cool with it.
She says, "I'm aware of Heer-Prem's fan following. However, it doesn't affect me a wee bit. I faced a similar thing whilst I did 'Miley Jab Hum Tum'. But after a while, people began to appreciate my role. Similarly, I'm confident that people will accept me as Tanni. I think people need to grow with time."
Both Harshad and Additi have expressed their point of view, but we doubt that it can satisfy the die hard Heer-Prem fans.
