His parents never approved of his celluoid dreams and thus they enrolled him in an engineering college. Harshad audaciously states ''"I only did engineering because my parents asked me to do so.However, i was clear in my mind as to what i wanted"''


Later after completing his studies he headed straight to Bombay to pursue his acting career hoping to make it big one day just like Salman Khan, his favorite Bollywood actor. <ref>[http://www.bollywoodhelpline.com/news-gossips/telly-buzz/yes-i-am-a-complete-salman-khan-fan-says-harshad-chopda/20806]</ref> He struggled hard during these years waiting for his big break but before that break would come he found himself successfully auditioning for Zee's Mamta and so began the journey of the actor Harshad Chopda! <ref>[http://www.bollywoodlife.com/celeb/harshad-chopra/]</ref>

And as they say there has been no looking back for him after that. He has just grown as an actor and done various shows with varied characters. He has been part of , ''[[Left Right Left]]'', ''[[Amber Dhara]]'', ''[[Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil]]'', ''[[Tere Liye]]'', ''[[Dharampatni]]'', ''[[Dil Se Di Dua... Saubhagyavati Bhava?]]'', ''[[Humsafars]]'' . <ref>[http://www.filmyfolks.com/kmh/harshad-chopra.shtml]</ref>.

'''Harshad''' started his career with the role of Karan in ''[[Mamta (TV series)]]''.<ref>[http://www.indianexpress.com/news/all-in-the-family/460719/ All in the family - Indian Express]</ref><ref>[http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report-after-serial-hits-they-move-on-to-greener-pastures-1770555 After serial hits, they move on to greener pastures - DNA]</ref>.

He bagged his first prominent role in his second serial ''[[Left Right Left]]'' where he essayed the character Cadet Ali Baigh. This role found him a small measure of fame as he starred alongside actors like Rajeev Khandelwal but he feared typecasting and so he soon quit the show.
[[File:164175-harshad-as-cadet-ali-baigh-in-tv-show-left-right-left.jpg|200px|framed|right|HC in LRL]]

He joined the cast of ''[[Amber Dhara]]'' soon after quitting ''[[Left Right Left]]''. He essayed the role of Akshat and his performance was acknowledged at a larger scale. Unluckily, his stint with Amber Dhara didn't last long due to problems with the production house. <ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/Harshad-Chopda-I-try-not-to-get-affected-by-rumors/articleshow/44899267.cms]</ref>

After remaining off screen for a short period of time, Harshad bounced back strongly with the Balaji show ''[[Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil]]'' where he portrayed the character of a passionate lover, '''Prem Juneja'''. He was recognized for his outstanding performance at various award functions. His flawless portrayal not just won him many awards but worldwide acknowledgement as well. Harshad played '''prem''' with such finesse and made his place in the heart of the audience in such a way that '''prem''' was turned into one of the most perfect and loved characters of indian television. He was loved and appreciated so much so that a character which was supposed to last only few months remained the power house of the show until the very end.

He was also supposed to play the role of '''arjun''' in ''[[Ekta Kapoor]]'' version of Mahabharat titled ''[[Kahaani Hamare Mahaabhaarat Ki]]''

After '''Desh''', '''Harshad''' bounced back in action to essay the character of '''Anurag Ganguly''' in the massively popular show ''[[Tere Liye]]'', The show was based on how two childhood friends go through the different stages of life over-coming all the obstacles in their path to discover true love and be together despite all the forces that try to drive them away from each other. Anurag as a character which had various shades and '''Tere Liye''' told the journey of him discovering himself and true love, where ultimately '''Anurag''' lost himself completely in his love. Harshad played insanity to such perfection that Pagal Onu had his own exclusive fan following.

[[File:Anurag Ganguly.jpg|300px|framed|right|Harshad as Anurag]]

After '''Tere Liye''', '''Harshad''' shed the lover boy image of telly and played the grey shaded character of '''Mohan Gala''' in ''[[Dharampatni]]'' who is far from being the perfect and loving husband, as he portrays the role of a drunkard who ultimately discovers the positive things in him to create a success story. Harshad played Mohan To The T!! be it his one liners,his passion for work,his guilts,his struggle to breathe free in Gala house, everything was perfect.

Next he went on to play '''Raghavendra Pratap Singh''' in the hit show ''[[Dil Se Di Dua... Saubhagyavati Bhava?]]''. Here he had played the role of Raghav, a fearless young man who only works on what his heart says. Not only his name but his personality too is synonymous with Lord Ram, who was saviour for many, same way he is a saviour for many though his ways can be different given account to his intensity and angst but all he wants is no injustice with anyone but he does not like fighting for them, he likes making them capable to fight for themselves. HE does not speak much as his actions do that job and if often being misinterpreted for the same.His fearless attitude, strong will, passion to set everything right and for that going to any limits is what sets him apart from the crowd.

His latest role is that of '''Sahir Azeem Choudhary''' in the show ''[[Humsafars]]''. Where he plays the role of the owner of a fasion house named saiyyara. He is a complex and complicated character with many shades and layers to him each of which '''Harshad''' has portrayed to perfection. '''Sahir''' is ruthless, money minded and seems hard at the exterior but he is a poet, artist and an amazingly caring,sweet and loving guy on the interior. The show covers his journey and how he heals his past wounds and re-discovers himself through his '''Humsafar''' Aarzoo.
