Harshad Arora Joins Ravie Dubey And Sargun Mehta's Haale Dil, To Romance Manisha Rani
Last Updated:
In Haale Dil, Harshad Arora plays the character of Vivek, a man whose journey is defined by emotional growth and relationship dynamics.
Harshad Arora, who will soon be seen in Ravie Dubey and Sargun Mehta's Haale Dil, which is produced under the couple's banner Dreamiyata Dramaa and will stream on its official YouTube channel, is happy with the name of the show as he believes it beautifully portrays the show's essence. The story focuses on two couples and their intricate relationships, and the actor feels the name resonates deeply with the emotional highs and lows that define the characters' journeys.
'Haale Dil is a perfect title for the show because the show revolves around the story of two couples, and the way their relationships progress. There are a lot of moments between the couples where there is love and hate, there is trust, there is a lot of guilt, and it goes through a lot of ranges of emotions. So, I think the name Haale Dil justifies the entire plot of the show really well," he said.
The actor plays the character of Vivek, a man whose journey is defined by emotional growth and relationship dynamics. 'He goes through a transition, and it was a lot of fun while performing those scenes," he said.
He is hopeful that the audience will like the gradual change in the character as the show progresses and added, 'There's a beautiful arc that we have for the character, his relationship with Dolly and Indu and his family.'
While Harshad doesn't directly relate to Vivek, he stressed that every actor brings a piece of themselves into their roles. 'You do kind of put some real elements of yourself in the character to, you know, give it that authenticity," he said, emphasising his effort to make the performance as real and believable as possible.
He also reflected on how Vivek differs from his past roles and mentioned that each new character is a unique blend of familiar and unfamiliar traits. 'You do pick some elements, some layers from different characters that you perform, and you make a new character, work on some extra emotions, some extra quirks and traits, which kind of develops into a new beautiful character, a new journey," Harshad ended.

Gave Amitabh Bachchan a Hollywood film's CD instead of a script when I went to sign him, recalls producer: ‘He asked what do I do with it?'
In the early 2000s, Amitabh Bachchan was successfully mounting a comeback in Bollywood after enduring a tough period in the 1990s. During this time, filmmakers in India had no qualms about remaking Hollywood films, even without buying any rights as the laws regarding these matters weren't strictly in place at the time. Keeping up with the trend, Big B was also offered the remake of a Hollywood film, but interestingly, without a script. The actor, who is often regarded as the greatest actor in the Indian film industry, was directly handed the CD of a Hollywood film and was told that they will Indianise it if he came on board, which, obviously, left the actor shell shocked. While appearing on Friday Talkies' YouTube channel, producer Bunty Walia spoke about the making of Ek Ajnabee, which was directed by Apoorva Lakhia, and also starred Arjun Rampal, and said that Lakhia decided to make this film after watching Denzel Washington-starrer Man on Fire. The duo thought that if they wanted to remake it, Amitabh would be the best man for the job. Right before this, Lakhia had made his Bollywood debut with Abhishek Bachchan-starrer Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost. Bunty recalled, 'I talked to Amitabh sir's secretary, Sheetal ji, and we fixed up a meeting with him. When I met with him, he asked me for the script, and I told him that we didn't have any script, and I handed him the CD of Man on Fire. I told him we were going to 'Indianise' it and then make a film.' Walia added that Amitabh was confused with what they were trying to do and asked him, 'What do I do with it?' His secretary was definitely not impressed by their level of readiness. 'I remember Sheetal ji looking at me like I was a fool. We didn't have a script or schedule for the film, and we were trying to sign him for the film. He gave us dates for many months later and told us straight that now it was our job to convince Amitabh sir to do the film.' ALSO READ: Bollywood's biggest hairstylist died penniless, family was left with 'nothing to eat' despite counting Bachchans, Kapoors as friends After borrowing money from his father and talking to the actor, Walia was able to sign him for the film, but even though the veteran actor had said yes to the project, he still had his reservations about playing an action hero. Walia talked about shooting in Bangkok and shared how Amitabh was curious to know why they signed him. 'We had some time on our hands, and Amitabh sir asked me, 'Why did you guys sign me? I am an old man.' I smirked and said, 'If you think you are old, then so many people from the industry should just retire'.' Amitabh's time shooting Ek Ajnabee was certainly eventful, as previously shared by Apoorva Lakhia during his appearance on Friday Talkies. The director shared that while roaming around Bangkok after shooting one day, Big B ended up going to a strip club called Exotic p****. 'I told him, 'Sir, this is Patpong; there are live shows here. If I take you, there will be riots. He said, 'No, we will go.' So, I said, Let's go.' Big B would make new plans every day after filming was over, and according to Lakhia, he would reach the set right on time, even if he had been clubbing the night before. Apart from Amitabh, the cast of the film also included Arjun Rampal, Rucha Vaidya, Perizad Zorabian, and Akhilendra Mishra. The movie it took inspiration from, Man on Fire, was directed by Tony Scott.

GothamChess addresses viral drama over Emil Sutovsky's tweet: 'It should change.. now I look like an egocentric idiot'
(Image via YouTube/GothamChess) A major controversy in the chess community has sparked discussions this week, putting International Master Levy Rozman in hot water after he made a comment about his fame. It further escalated when Emil Sutovsky, FIDE CEO, weighed in, leading to a feud. The entire drama involved perceptions of players' fame in the game and online creators' influence. Rozman now has stepped forward with the pointed response, clarifying his stance on this escalating situation. GothamChess claims misrepresentation of the post, calling it out of context Levy Rozman has finally addressed the ongoing drama which was ignited after a critical tweet by Emil Sutovsky. It's asserted by him that his non-controversial statement that was made on the global chess recognition was ripped from its original context, leading to a widespread misinterpretation. "This image and quote is quite out of context, which is annoying, but understandable," Rozman stated as he expressed his frustration at how his words got spread online. GothamChess further clarified his intention, which was not self-aggrandizement. He explained, "My quote was a reference to... speaking to an athlete (casual chess fan) who could only name myself, Magnus, and Hikaru as chess." My Response To The Allegations The International Master further emphasized he was trying to highlight a problem. He said, "I was simply making the point that it's unfortunate if someone can only name us 3 as chess players, and it should change. But of course, now I look like an egocentric idiot." He conceded this label might at times fit, but he argued it was definitely undeserved in the instance. Discussing the original comment that sparked the entire drama 'That's Not My Fault' – GothamChess Fires Back in Chess Drama! The ongoing controversy can be traced back to the interview Rozman gave during one of his recent European tours. An individual reportedly expressed difficulty following up professional chess and claimed familiarity with only 3 figures worldwide: Magnus Carlsen Hikaru Nakamura, and Levy Rozman Rozman presented the anecdote not as a boast but as evidence of some significant accessibility gap that exists within chess. The core argument of the player, before the quote gained traction, was actually centered on the struggle of the game to promote a diverse array of top players to a mainstream audience, much beyond dedicated fans. He even saw the limitation within recognition as a barrier to a player's broad growth. Emil Sutovsky challenged the streamer's perfection and influence The drama escalated when Emil Sutovsky, the CEO of the global governing body of chess, shared Rozman's isolated quote on social media. Posting the image, he questioned the fans, "Do you agree with that? I don't - but maybe that's because my bubble consists of hardcore chess fans." He even directly critiqued Rozman's viewpoint as "extremely US-centric," reflecting regional bias. Further, Sutovsky even cast doubt on YouTubers' and chess streamers' current impact, suggesting their significance has decreased compared to the previous years. He stated, " I also feel, that in general streamers/youtubers impact on the game is much less significant than it used to be few years ago," acknowledging he "might err." His comments prompted a flood of reactions, debating chess popularity's true drivers today. Chess Community reacts to Emil Sutovsky's stance Sutovsky doubled down in the follow-up tweet that quite subtly compared Rozman to Sagar Shah (ChessBase India), suggesting that Shah's content creates "hardcore chess fans" and not just some casual viewers. It further sparked more debates on whether chess's popularity should be measured by the mass appeal or its dedicated engagement. Rozman did fire back and defended content creators and their roles within growing chess. He argued that without any accessible figures, including himself, there would be many fans who would not engage with the game at all. On the other hand, Shah took a diplomatic stance, praising creators and FIDE for pushing the game of chess forward. The entire drama highlights a very deep divide between whether or not chess requires mainstream influencers or any traditional ambassadors to thrive. For now, the debate is still raging without any resolution. But hopefully, it will soon come to an end. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here
