In an exclusive conversation with mid-day, actor Harshad Chopda, who was recently seen in Lock Upp, opened up about his reality-show experience, what he learnt about himself and whether he would consider doing another reality show. The actor revealed that he entered the show without thinking about winning, instead viewing it as an opportunity to present his real self to the audience.
“I’ll start from the beginning. Maybe it will help you understand better. So, the moment I decided to do this show, I never thought about winning. I thought about giving,” he said.
