"The messiah of broken-hearted lovers is my holy father. - Harshvardhan Rane"

Mumbai, Nov 1

Actor Harshvardhan Rane, who is currently riding high on happiness with the success of his romantic drama “Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat”, has talked about the deepest inspiration behind his portrayal of romance and heartbreak on screen, sharing that his late father remains the truest icon of love and longing in his life.

"The actual icon of broken-hearted lovers that I have seen in my life with whom I trained for 16 years was my father and the problem with talking about him in an interview is that it could be taken in the wrong context," Harshvardhan told IANS.

"But I saw this man after he got divorced from my mother, even while he was trying to make it work, I saw the efforts that the man made."

He reminisced about witnessing his father's silent yearning for love and connection even after separation from Harshavardhan's mother.

"Today, he is no more. But I saw him longing for that connection. And as a child, I used to ensure that my father should not feel uncomfortable that I was observing him. So, I always made sure that he didn't know I was looking at him," he said.

The 41-year-old star said his father's experiences shaped his own understanding of love and pain.

"But after my mother and he got separated, I saw him try and fail five or six times with different souls... all lovely people, all beautiful people. But I have seen that longing. So, for me, the messiah of broken-hearted lovers is my holy father."

"Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat" is directed by Milap Zaveri and also stars Sonam Bajwa, Shaad Randhawa, Sachin Khedekar, Ananth Narayan Mahadevan and Rajesh Khera.

The film follows the story of a powerful politician who falls for a strong-willed superstar, their passionate romance quickly spirals into a dangerous game of obsession, pride and heartbreak.

As someone who grew up with separated parents, this hits home. The way he observed his father without making him uncomfortable - that's exactly how Indian children often handle family emotions. We learn to be sensitive observers. Great to see an actor bringing such real experiences to his craft.

While I appreciate the emotional honesty, I wish he'd been more careful about sharing such personal family details. In Indian culture, family matters are often kept private, and this might be uncomfortable for other family members. The performance is great though!

Saw the movie last weekend and now this interview makes so much sense! You can feel the authenticity in his performance. The way he portrays heartbreak feels so real because it comes from lived experience. More power to him for honoring his father's memory through his art. 🙏

This is why Indian cinema is evolving - actors are bringing real emotional depth from their personal lives. The father-son dynamic he describes is so poignant. It's refreshing to see male actors talk about emotional vulnerability in such a meaningful way.

"Messiah of broken-hearted lovers is my holy father" - what a powerful line! In our culture, we often put parents on pedestals, but here he's showing the human side of his father. Breaking stereotypes while maintaining respect. Brilliant!
