Television actor Harshad Chopda made an emotional revelation on Netflix’s reality show Lock Upp 2 when he spoke about a painful chapter from his past. During the weekend episode, Harshad found himself in the bottom three alongside Sufi Motiwala and Yogesh Rawat. The contestants received a chance to save themselves from elimination by pressing the buzzer and revealing a personal secret. Harshad pressed the buzzer first and opened up about a suicide attempt that he had never shared publicly.
Harshad revealed that the incident happened when he was 22 or 23 years old, soon after he moved to Mumbai. He recalled that he was in his first serious relationship, which lasted around eight or nine months. A phone call from his girlfriend left him heartbroken, and he struggled to handle his emotions. In that moment, he slit his wrist because he wanted to escape the emotional pain. However, he immediately regretted his decision.
The actor shared that he panicked after realizing the consequences of his action. Despite an injured leg, he somehow reached a nearby hospital. He also faced police questioning after the incident. Harshad said the experience changed his life forever, and he promised himself that he would never harm himself again. Even today, he looks at the scar on his wrist as a reminder of that promise.
Hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh reacted with concern and praised Harshad for speaking honestly. Riteish urged viewers to reach out to family members, friends, or someone they trust instead of hurting themselves during difficult times. Harshad also encouraged everyone to value themselves and remember that no relationship or situation is worth self-harm. He said he feels grateful that he survived because it gave him a second chance at life.
Harshad Chopda has enjoyed a successful television career with popular shows like Left Right Left, Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil, Bepannah, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 3. His honest confession on Lock Upp 2 has shown fans a deeply personal side of the actor while adding another memorable chapter to his journey.
