Harshvardhan Kapoor is a name that you might not have heard before. This is because he is a newbie in the Bollywood industry and has done only two movies till date. He is the youngest son of Anil Kapoor and brother to Sonam and Rhea Kapoor

Recently he managed to get enough popularity with his interview for Quartz but for all the wrong reasons. Here is what had happened. Earlier this week Harshvardhan Kapoor gave an interview to Quartz. He spoke to Quartz about his fledgling career and about the filmy empire his father build for their family. But what sparked the controversy was when the actor explained why he doesn’t take advice from his star sister, Sonam Kapoor. Here’s what the quote reads like,

Sonam is in her own world, and she’s done all kinds of films. But I also think it’s easier sometimes for a heroine to fit in a lot of films. For example, a Padman is not driven by her, right? So she doesn’t have to be there for a 100 days. Heroines can be more free. For me now, the whole film will hinge on my shoulders. So, I don’t really take advice from her.

Rhea’s a producer. She has more marketing feedback as opposed to creative feedback with script and stuff. Our films (Bhavesh Joshi and Veere di Wedding) are releasing on the same day, so she’s too busy and she couldn’t help us.

Soon he faced the heat as the twitter army started to troll him for his sexist remarks. This is how twitter responded to his unprogressive comment with sarcasm.

Interviewer: Do your sisters Sonam and Rhea guide your decisions in any way?
Harshvardhan Kapoor: No, I'm sexist. pic.twitter.com/wUA9DXVt64

If my brother had said this…I would disown him immediately! What rubbish.

Nicely done, @HarshKapoor_.
You truly deserve the enormous success of Bhavesh Joshi. Here's wishing you more Bhavesh Joshis on your "shoulders". https://t.co/YSYX2GmVri

Harshvardhan Kapoor responded to the controversy with a tweet, he said, “If you believe everything printed in the media and start accusing people immediately … can’t help you … I never said this … it’s taken completely out of context and misinterpreted ok I’m done defending myself gonna go hang with my sisters now bye.”

While, we  don’t know if the comment was taken out of context as Harshvardhan Kapoor  has said.  What we know for certain is that he has not denied that he had made these comments or neither explained the context in which he made them. Even while taking up a movie like Veere Di Wedding during the conversation which has a all women star cast and is female driven, he still believes that women in cinema are much more free and relaxed.

Harshvardhan Kapoor’s movie, Bhavesh Joshi Superhero and Sonam Kapoor’s Veere Di Wedding were released on the same date. Veere Di Wedding had a huge  box office hit over Bavesh Joshi Superhero. Nevertheless Harshvardhan Kapoor  gave a brilliant performance in the movie. So we really wish that he broadens his horizons and be a contributing part of the progressing phase in Indian cinema.

Hoping that he has already learned the lesson on the significance women in cinema, we wish him all the best.
