has been an eminent name in the advertising industry and the New York theatre circuit. He shall be seen next in 'Taj: Divided By Blood'. The young lad shall be seen playing Rahul Bose's on-screen son, 'Afrasiyab' on the show.
While much cannot be revealed about his character, Harshil adds, “When I went to New York, I had a bucket list of 10 things that I wanted to do in my career and one of those was to share screen space with Naseer Sir. Honestly, I thank my stars for having done that so early in my career. Naseer sir is an institution in himself. 'Taj: Divided By Blood' happened by chance and I am glad it did. It was also a very creatively enriching experience to work with . When Rahul Sir is around, you just know that you are going to be taken care of, he encouraged me and held my hand through the entirety of the shoot. I am very grateful to him for being so kind.”
Talking about his character, Harshil further states, "I play a character who is entirely parallel to my real self. I am a typical boy-next-door, a SoBo boy whereas my character is a Mughal prince at war with his family and himself. To do justice to 'Afrasiyab's' character (his character from Taj), I had to prepare thoroughly. Firstly, I was required to have a natively authentic flow in Urdu, learn how to ride a horse and swing a sword! My character is a young and conflicted Mughal Prince who is forced by circumstances to fight for his family."
For the unversed, prior to 'Taj: Divided By Blood,' Harshil Shah has also worked as an assistant director on projects like ‘Kedarnath’ and with Rajkumar Hirani Films Pvt. Ltd. for an ad film.
