This boy from little known Gondia district of Maharashtra is certainly living his dream. Harshad Chopra today ranks among the promising young actors on Indian television.

His family moved to Pune after he completed his class 12 exams. His parents never approved of his celluloid dreams so they enrolled him into an engineering college. He unflinchingly admits, “I only did engineering because my parents asked me to do so. However, I was clear in my mind as to what I wanted.”

Post his studies, he headed to Bombay, successfully auditioned for Zee’s Mamta and so began the journey of actor Harshad Chopra. He bagged his first prominent role in his second serial Left Right Left where he essayed the character Cadet Ali Baigh. He joined the cast of Amber Dhara after quitting Left Right Left. Unfortunately, his stint with Amber Dhara didn’t last long as he was reportedly bumped off from the show.

After remaining out of action for a while, Harshad has bounced back strongly with the Balaji show Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil.

Harshad isn’t one who sets ambitious goals but goes about his task very astutely. Says he, “I’m not one to make tall claims but I’d believe I’m very much on the right track to achieve my goals.”
