Harshad Chopda Shares Emotional Secret

Harshad Chopda, a well-known television actor currently participating in Netflix's reality series Lock Upp – Sach Ya Saza, has been in the spotlight due to his close relationship with co-star Shivangi Joshi. Recently, he stirred emotions among viewers by revealing a significant personal secret during the show. Alongside fellow contestants Yogesh Rawat and Sufi Motiwala, Harshad found himself in the elimination zone, where he had to share a personal story to avoid being voted out. He disclosed a heartbreaking moment from his past, stating that he attempted suicide following a breakup with his first girlfriend. Previously, he had also mentioned being betrayed in another relationship.

Harshad's Heart-Wrenching Revelation

In his candid confession, the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai star shared, "Pehla relationship tha, kuch hua tha, naraaz thi. Phone kar ke mujhe bataya gaya ki yaha hoon, ye kar rahi hoon, kiske sath hoon." (I was in a relationship before. Something happened, and she was upset. She called me and told me where she was, what she was doing, and who she was with.) He continued, "Jo main feel kar raha tha, feel nahi karna chahta tha. Aur mujhe kuch bhi samajh nahi aaya, to maine apna haath kaat liya." (I was feeling something that I didn't want to feel. I couldn't understand anything, so I cut my hand.) Harshad even displayed the scar on his wrist while recounting the painful experience. He explained that after harming himself, he faced difficulties in reaching the hospital, as doctors initially refused to assist him without a police report. Reflecting on that moment, he said, "Bahut haath-pair jode, bahut minnatein ki." (I begged and pleaded with them repeatedly.) Harshad emphasized that this incident transformed him, vowing never to harm himself for anyone again.
