People said ‘Hum Indians ko kuch nahi hoga’, all fell flat: Harshvardh­an

The obvious blame games have started, people are pointing fingers at others... HARSHVARDH­AN RANE,

Actor

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

“Last year, I heard some people say, ‘Hum Indians hain, humein kuch nahi hoga, humari immunity duniya mein sabse zyada hai’. All those things fell flat. The obvious blame games have started, people are pointing fingers at others,” Rane says, and is quick to add that he prefers to stay out of such discussion­s.

“It’s always us versus they and them. That’s what happens when there’s a dispute, difference of opinion, misery or suffering. I’m really not interested in being a part of such games,” the 37-year-old maintains.

Reflecting on how the situation unfolded over the past couple of months, Rane outlines, “Just when we all were getting back on our feet, the second wave hit. There were many theories about it, but all have fallen flat on their faces. I usually hear these theories, but I don’t add anything to them, because I know they’ll turn false within a week or two,” says the actor, who recently sold his bike in exchange for oxygen concentrat­ors, to help people in need.

Besides this, Rane is also making sure that he looks after his health, since he can’t step out to go to the gym. “I choose to make the best of whatever is at home. I have been working out diligently, and trying to be mobile. I also make it a point to keep my immunity high,” says the fitness enthusiast.
