Harshvardhan Rane Responds to Mawra Hocane’s 'PR Strategy' Remark: ‘So Much Hate in Her Speech’
Actor Harshvardhan Rane has hit back at Mawra Hocane after she accused him of using a relationship for PR purposes, calling her comments hateful and unnecessary.
Mumbai, May 12, 2025 — Actor Harshvardhan Rane has finally broken his silence after Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane recently made a comment implying that their past relationship was part of a “PR strategy.” Responding sharply, Rane expressed his disappointment and labelled her remarks as full of “hate and unnecessary negativity.”
The war of words started when Mawra, in a candid interview, alleged that a former partner—widely speculated to be Harshvardhan—had “used their relationship as a PR move” to gain media attention during a film release. Though she refrained from naming anyone directly, fans quickly pieced together the timeline and pointed fingers.
Not one to shy away from addressing rumors, Harshvardhan took to social media and issued a dignified yet firm statement. “So much hate in her speech. I wish peace upon her. When you give your best to someone and are then called a 'strategy,' it says more about their insecurities than your actions,” he wrote.
The actor further clarified that he has never indulged in any kind of PR-driven personal relationships and has always maintained honesty with his fans. “I never used love as a ladder to fame. If someone sees honesty as strategy, that’s unfortunate,” he added.
The two actors were briefly linked in 2017 when they worked together on a project. While they never publicly confirmed their relationship at the time, their off-screen chemistry had sparked rumors. Now, years later, this resurfaced conflict has reignited interest and debate among fans across both countries.
The entertainment industry has been abuzz with reactions. While some supported Mawra’s freedom to speak about her past, many criticized the timing and tone of her remarks. Harshvardhan’s supporters praised his composed and respectful reply.
Industry insiders speculate that this exchange may lead to further revelations, as both actors seem unwilling to bury the issue just yet.
As the story develops, one thing is clear: personal relationships and professional careers in showbiz often find themselves entangled in the public eye—sometimes with unexpected consequences.
