Harshul Kaul Praises Vedang Raina's Inspiring Journey
Debutant Harshul Kaul says Vedang Raina's success has made the Kashmiri Pandit community proud.
Mumbai, July 9 (IANS) ‘Main Wapas Aaunga’ debutant Harshul Kaul has opened up about his admiration for Vedang Raina and the pride he feels seeing the young actor achieve success at such an early stage of his career.
Coming from a Kashmiri Pandit family, Harshul shared that Vedang’s journey has become a proud moment for the community and has inspired many. Harshul, who played Raina’s best friend Aftab in the movie, ‘Main Wapas Aaunga,’ told IANS, “A lot of people have reached out personally to me through social media and messages. Many told me that Aftab's innocence and emotional journey stayed with them long after the film ended, while some even said they felt like they personally knew these characters. Those messages mean the world to me because that's why we do cinema, to make people feel something.”
“My experience of working with Vedang was truly a dream come true. Coming from a Kashmiri family, I had seen his journey being celebrated by so many people around me. After The Archies and then Jigra, I remember hearing his name in conversations everywhere and feeling proud seeing someone from the Kashmiri Pandits community achieving so much at such a young age. Never in my dreams did I imagine that just a year and a half later I would be standing beside him, sharing the screen with him and playing his best friend in my very first film. Even today when I think about it, it feels unreal.”
