'I was at my charming best to impress Bipasha'

Sonil Dedhia in Mumbai

'I had worked really hard on my films but unfortunately, they flopped. It was almost like a slap on my face.'

'I can’t really pinpoint what went wrong. I wish I could figure it out but I am not that smart. I was disappointed and hurt when my films didn't work.' 

'I would just lie on my bed the entire day and stare at the ceiling and wonder what went wrong. I never got an answer.'

Harman Baweja gets candid.

After a disastrous start to his acting career, Harman Baweja disappeared from the industry for a long time.

Almost five years after his last movie, the actor has resurfaced and is ready to start a new innings with this week’s release Dishkiyaoon.

Co-produced by Shilpa Shetty, the film also stars Sunny Deol and debutante actress Ayesha Khanna.

But more than the film, it is Harman's love life that has brought him back in the news. The actor is currently dating Bipasha Basu.

In this candid chat with Sonil Dedhia, Harman opens up about what went wrong in his career, why he chose Dishkiyaoon as his comeback film and what it's like dating a superhot girl like Bipasha.

When did you start dating Bipasha Basu?

I met her at Mr Amitabh Bachchan’s 70th birthday bash.

The entire film fraternity was present and everyone was catching up with each other.

Bipasha is a very attractive person. I was at my charming best to impress her and leave a lasting impression.

I was trying to figure out a way to stay in touch with her after that.
