Some Lesser Known Facts About Harshvardhan Rane

- He was born to a Tegulu mother and Maharashtrian father in 1983.
- When he was 15 years old, he ran away from his house with only Rs. 200 in his pocket. In an interview, he said,
The fact that people told me that I wouldn’t be able to make it. Even as a kid, I would go out of my way to prove that things could be done if one tried enough. When it came to acting, many told me, ‘Yeh kya hain? Yeh toh koi profession bhi nahin hain.’ I was asked questions like, ‘Who do you know in Bombay? How will you survive?’ I just wanted to get out of Gwalior. I ran away not just from my home but also from a society that kept telling me what is possible and what is not. That’s what I am still running away from… people who have no vision, no faith, no belief.”

- In 2010, he made his film debut with the Telugu movie ‘Thakita Thakita’. He did many other Telugu movies including Avunu (2012), Maaya (2014), Brother of Bommali (2014), Kavacham (2018) and others.

- As a part-time job, he did carpentry to earn money. In an interview, he talked about choosing such a career and said,
I started buying old furniture from Nampally Station (in Hyderabad) and retextured it…. Ameer logon ko distressed look bahut pasand hain (laughs), toh main woh karke unko bech deta tha. Usse mere khaane-peene ka ho jaata tha. That taught me a lot and even today my WhatsApp status says ‘Carpenter.’”
- In 2004, he worked as a delivery boy, and he delivered a helmet to actor John Abraham. [1]Hindustan Times
- In 2021, Harshvardhan revealed that he did many small jobs from 2002-2004 before he became an actor. When he was young, he faced problems speaking in English, and to learn English for free, he joined a call centre. In an interview, he said,
Between 2002 to 2004, I also worked as a waiter, courier boy, at an STD booth, cyber cafe, and even assisted a DJ when I didn’t have money. That time people would say it’s important to learn English. It then became my goal to learn the language. I looked around for coaching classes, but I didn’t have money to pay for them. So, I joined a call centre. At call centres, they used to give training in soft skills and English.”
- In 2021, he sold his bike to help people who were affected by Covid-19. He was also admitted to the hospital as he got Covid positive in 2020.

It’s called so because I was giving my shirts away and turning them into notebooks, in a way. I was thinking of a way to secure a girl child’s education. People used to call me for donations and I couldn’t relate to that because I have spent most of my life trying to support myself. Earlier I thought that I’d make furniture and give it to orphanages, but that wasn’t a practical thought. Then I thought I would give away clothes, but that wouldn’t help much either. That’s when I thought of a garage sale, the proceeds of which, go towards Swati’s education.”
- On his Instagram, he posted about his breakup with Kim Sharma in 2020 and wrote, “K, Thank you gentle soul! It was amazing, and much more. God bless you, and God bless me too. Bye. H.” Talking about his breakup, he said,
