Diljt Answers Back To Harshvardhan's Rant On Filmfare Award

At the recent Filmfare award night, actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh won the Best Debut Award Male for Udta Punjab. However, this didn’t go down well with Harshvardhan Kapoor who made his debut last year with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirzya alongside Saiyami Kher. Kapoor lost the award to Diljit and he took to twitter to vent out his anger on the Filmfare awards.

He said, “Although I picked up two debutant awards earlier, I was really looking forward to winning the black lady. But I guess every awards event has its own parameters. I’ll be honest, though. I think a debutant award is meant for someone working on his first film. It shouldn’t go to an actor who has worked in several films in another industry or language”.

Now Diljit has broken his silence on the issue after maintaining a dignified silence for few days. He said, "Koi na Koi na.. I didn't feel bad at all. I am a huge fan of Anil Kapoor and Harsh is the son of a big superstar. I know that Dhanush got an award, who has worked in many South films and Fawad Khan also got an award, who is a star in Pakistan. I am not the first example. So it is not ethically wrong. People's love is the biggest award".

When asked if he is hurt about what the Mirzya actor said about him, he politely answered, I am not hurt. I am not sad. I am thankful to Filmfare Awards for the honour that they gave me. I don’t think I was deserving enough. It’s a big award (and) I think they would have seen something in me and so they gave me the award".

Let’s wait to see how Harsh reacts on this.
