Meet actor, who romanced Karisma Kapoor, Mamta Kulkarni, challenged Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, lost stardom due to…, is now…

Today, we will talk about this actor, who made his Bollywood debut at the mere age of 15, and became a star following its first release. Despite working in handful of hit films and garnering appreciation, he lost into oblivion. He is none other than the 90s chocolate boy, Harish Kumar, who made his debut opposite Karisma Kapoor in 1991 film Prem Qaidi. It was Lolo’s debut as well. The film was a success, catapulting both Harish and Karisma to stardom.

Harish Kumar began his acting career at the tender age of 4. By the age of 15, he made his debut as a lead actor, garnering recognition not just in Bollywood but also in South cinema. He starred in several successful Bollywood films including Coolie No. 1 and Tirangaa.

Following the release of Inteqam in 2001, Harish chose to step away from the world of glitz and glam. According to a report in Dainik Bhaskar, he faced a setback in his career due to sudden weight gain, leading to loss of work opportunities for him. However, the accurate information about his situation remains difficult to describe.

As per a report by Film Stories, a YouTube Channel, Harish was experiencing extreme backpain initially considered minor, but it unfortunately worsened over time. Gradually, his condition declined to the point that he was bedridden. When doctors figured out, it came as a spinal injury that Harsh had since childhood which he was unaware of and it exacerbated over time leading to slip disc. He was put on medications and advised a two-year break from work, during which his weight increased and altered his appearance significantly.

In 2001, Harish tried to make a comeback with film Naughty @40, co-starring Govinda, but the film failed to revive his magic on-screen. The actor also starred in 2012-release Chaar Din Ki Chandni, which turned out to be a box office flop.
