Harshvardhan Rane: People said, ‘We are Indians, nothing will happen to us’; all that fell flat

Actor Harshvardhan Rane talks about people pointing fingers at each other on how second wave took over, and him not being interested in being a part of that.

Harshvardhan Rane has “zero interest” in playing blame games during the ongoing pandemic for he feels there’s no one reason or person that can be blamed for the impact second wave of Covid-19 crisis brought upon us. In fact, the actor laments that just when the situation was beginning to look under control, “overconfidence among people” contributed to things getting taking a turn for worse.

Actor Harshvardhan Rane has been a part of films such as Sanam Teri Kasam and Taish.

“I remember, last year, I heard some people say, ‘Hum Indians hain, humein kuchh nahi hoga, hamari immunity duniya mein sabse zyaada hai’. All those things fell flat. The obvious blame games have started, where people are poi ting fingers at others,” he says, quick to add that he prefers to stay out of such discussions.

“It’s always us versus they and them. That’s what happens whenever there’s a dispute or difference in opinion, or misery or suffering. I’m really not interested in being a part of such games,” he maintains.

Reflecting on how the situation unfolded over the past couple of months, Rane, 37, points that the middle and lower middle class were about to bounce back after the lockdowns they went through last year.

Besides helping others, the actor is making sure to also look after his physical health, since he can’t step out to go to gyms. “So, I choose to make the best of whatever is at home. I’ve been working out diligently, and trying to be mobile. I also make it a point to keep my immunity high,” says the fitness freak.
