We had the good fortune of connecting with Harsh Kumar Shakti and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Harsh Kumar, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
Trust in God, trust in yourself. With unwavering faith and self-belief, you can conquer the world. This affirmation has been a guiding light throughout my journey, reminding me to stay motivated, hopeful, and dedicated to my dreams. By embracing this belief, I know that my hard work and perseverance will ultimately lead to achieving my goals and making my dreams a reality. And as I continue to manifest my desires and put in the effort, it all adds up, leading to a life of purpose, fulfillment, and success.

Please tell us more about your art. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
What sets me apart is my unique blend of creativity, emotional depth, and versatility. I’m most proud of my ability to fully immerse myself in diverse roles and bring characters to life in a way that resonates with audiences.

My journey as an actor has been both challenging and rewarding. I’ve faced rejections and setbacks, including working as a lead in two Bollywood movies that didn’t even release. But I didn’t let that stop me. Instead, I continued to manifest my dreams and work hard. I believe that every experience, no matter how challenging, is an opportunity for growth and learning.

One of the best things about me is that I can’t think negative. I’m always optimistic about everything, and I believe that this mindset has helped me overcome obstacles and achieve my goals. My motto is simple: believe in yourself and believe in God, and you can achieve anything in this world.

I’m excited about the projects I have lined up, which showcase my range and talent. I want the world to know that I’m a passionate storyteller, committed to authenticity and excellence. My brand is about authenticity, vulnerability, and inspiring audiences through my work.

The lessons I’ve learned along the way include the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and collaboration. I believe that acting is not just about performing, but also about connecting with others and leaving a positive impact. And I’m grateful for the journey so far, which has taught me to stay focused, stay positive, and always keep manifesting my dreams.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We’ll start with the breathtaking Niagara Falls, where we’ll take a boat ride along the Niagara Gorge for up-close views of the falls. Then, we’ll head to Ithaca and explore the stunning waterfalls and gorges in the area. We’ll hike through the beautiful trails, take in the scenic views, and enjoy the tranquility of nature.

After working up an appetite, we’ll indulge in some delicious food at the local restaurants, trying some of the region’s specialties like buffalo wings and garlic parmesan wings. And of course, we’ll enjoy some refreshing drinks and desserts along the way!

This road trip will be an unforgettable experience, combining the thrill of adventure, the beauty of nature, and the joy of good food and company.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to express my deepest gratitude to my amazing parents, who have been my rock throughout my journey. Their unwavering belief in me has been a constant source of inspiration and motivation. They never doubted my abilities, even when I pursued both engineering and acting simultaneously. After completing my engineering degree, I devoted myself to my passion for acting, and their support never wavered. I am forever grateful for their unwavering faith in me, which has been the driving force behind my success. Whenever I faced rejection or setbacks, their encouraging words – ‘You are already a hero to us’ – motivated me to work even harder. The release of my movie ‘Khwab Sare Jhootey’ was a proud moment for our entire family, and I am eternally thankful for their love and support. Today, I stand tall because of their belief in me, my hard work, and their unrelenting support. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being my everything!
