Sanam Teri Kasam actor Harshvardhan Rane says he will never appear on a podcast amid Ranveer Allahbadia controversy - Know why

Harshvardhan Rane, who is back in the news since the theatrical re-release of his film Sanam Teri Kasam, has spoken about why he would never appear on a podcast. The news comes as Ranveer Allahbadia is in the midst of a controversy over his 'unsanskaari' question on India's Got Latent. While Ranveer continues facing backlash, with celebs canceling appearances on his podcast, Harshvardhan has a rather different reason to never go on a podcast, and it has a lot to do with his personality.

Why Harshvardhan Rane will not go on a podcast?

It was when Harshvardhan Rane was giving an interview to Bollywood Hungama, that he revealed why he would rather not be one of those actors attending a podcast. And it has nothing to do with Ranveer Allahbadia controversy, but his own introverted personality. Harshvardhan explains that many actors seek self-acclaim by going on podcasts and introspecting over a particular statement they mentioned on the podcast. Tagging the concept of podcasts as 'psychologically sufficing' that tricks people into saying random things, he points out that would not translate to people actually coming to theatres to watch your movie. While mentioning that, Rane noted that there are many great podcasts but that did not translate to footfalls for the movie aimed to be promoted. While not seeing a point, the actor further noticed a trend on podcasts - of pulling the host down. Thus, his immediate counter-question when asked why doesn't he appear on the podcast is, "Conversion kitna hota hai?"
