MUMBAI: Harish Kumar, who is known for many films, was a popular name in Bollywood.
He is known for films like Prem Qaidi, Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, and Aunty No. 1 (1998), among others.
The actor has been away from the limelight for quite a while now, and the reason for this, he says, is a back injury that rendered him bedridden. He told Hindustan Times, “I am very much in India, sometimes in Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai. But why I left showbiz is a very personal reason, which I don’t like to talk about much. I suffered a major back injury which left me bedridden which also became my reason to leave showbiz.”
“It was a major slip disc, with issues in my L3 and L5. The situation was so bad that I couldn’t even go to the washroom. I was very careless when I was young, and didn’t even realise when I got this injury, pata hi nahi laga mujhe. But I didn’t want to go for any operation. Kabhi Kabhi ho jata hai life mein, aisa samaya aa jata hai,” added the 46-year-old. However, he doesn’t blame anyone for the downfall of his career. “Pehle pehle doctor ne do saal ke liye kaam karne ko mana kar diya, uske baad pata hi nahin chala ke kahan kho gaya main,” he confesses, but is quick to say he doesn’t think about his past with any sour feeling, for he has accepted his fate.
Harish Kumar said, “I am very happy and content with the journey I have had. I started when I was a kid, and became male lead in my teens, jaisa hota ho woh thik hi hota hai… Shayad mein bahut jaldi bhaag raha tha, isiliye life slow ho gayi.”
