Harsh Chhaya talks about his role as Papaji in Undekhi

Harsh Chhaya, known for his versatility, really surprised the audience with his role as Papaji in Undekhi. Critics and fans were both pleasantly surprised to see Harsh in that role.

Talking about his experience, Harsh says, “Undekhi was the culmination of many experiences over time. After stepping away from daily soaps, my next step was to seek out roles in films with substantial character parts. When I was reading the script of Undekhi, two characters truly stood out for me — Rinku and the DSP. Papaji, although interesting, seemed more of a plot trigger. I channeled all my angst into my portrayal of Papaji and did the best I could with the material at hand. I’m grateful that everyone involved in the making of Undekhi appreciated my effort enough to give my character a very decent space in Season 3.”

Harsh was thrilled when he received praise from a great writer like Salim Khan for his role as Papaji. He says, “After the first season, I received a call from actor Arbaaz Khan, who appreciated my work. He mentioned that his father, Salim Khan, was so impressed that he wanted to congratulate me personally. The legend himself came on the line and spoke to me. He told me that one couldn’t deliver the kind of performance I did unless they knew such a person.”
