Actor Harshad Chopda made an emotional revelation during the premiere of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Saza, opening up about a deeply personal betrayal that he says changed the way he approaches relationships and his private life. The actor, who has largely kept his personal life away from the public eye despite spending nearly two decades in the television industry, shared that he was once betrayed by both his girlfriend and his closest friend.

‘I Lost My Friend and My Girlfriend at the Same Time’
During the show, co-host Riteish Deshmukh observed that fans know very little about Harshad’s personal life. Responding to the observation, Harshad said he prefers letting his work speak for itself but acknowledged that some viewers perceive him as distant. “I will try to work on this. I want to improve and not come across as ungrateful,” he said. Later in the episode, Harshad drew the “Expose” card, which required either him or fellow contestant Shivangi Joshi to reveal a personal secret. Choosing to take the challenge himself, the actor made a startling confession.

“I lost both my friend and my girlfriend at the same time. My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend. Since then, I have become a bit cautious. That is my secret,” Harshad revealed. The revelation left the actor visibly emotional. Harshad shared that he had kept the painful experience hidden for 16 years and admitted that he is someone who trusts people easily and is emotionally sensitive. Shivangi Joshi comforted her co-star after his confession, while fellow contestant Sufi Motiwala expressed his support by telling him, “We love you!”
