Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor on Monday found himself at the receiving end of trolling after he asked people to not wear fake sneakers. He was accused of being elitist and putting down people who could not afford expensive shoes. Reacting to the trolling, the actor said that whenever he says something, ‘there will be people on social media… going crazy’.
Responding to a tweet calling him out, Harsh Varrdhan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “When I put this out I already knew people who don’t know people would come after me etc. But the truth is I’ve been doing this for a long time and reps (replicas) of hyped shoes are more expensive than say a pair of converse old skool vans or used air forces etc.”
He added, “I know every time I say something there will be people on social media who don’t know anything about footwear etc. going crazy but a lot of my followers are enthusiasts or are looking to collect and that’s the audience I’m speaking to. You can now continue going bonkers on here for a temporary release of joy.”
Harsh Varrdhan earlier posted an Instagram story that read, “Don’t know who needs to hear this, but please stop wearing fake sneakers… if you have a low/moderate budget there’s plenty of great options out there. Converse vans basic air force etc… if someone gets you a gift and they happen to be inauthentic you can pass them onto someone else that doesn’t know what they are and would be happy to wear… but if you are buying you’re own please do your own diligence… buy from trusted sellers…”
Another post read, “Also really hope more men/boys look into how they dress and invest well in what they wear.. again doesn’t have to be expensive tons and tons of cheap options out there.. but no point wearing a really expensive pair of shoes if you don’t know how to put the rest of it together tbh… It’s supposed to say something about you… your tastes and preferences… there’s information everywhere and access don’t be lazy… look into it and learn it can be a lot of fun… when we talk about the culture be it sneaker culture or street or whatever it’s not about clout it’s about your own individuality uniqueness and about how your outfit and choices speak for you and what they represent.”
On the work front, Harsh VarrdhanKapoor was last seen in Netflix’s Thar, which he also co-produced. The film also featured his father Anil Kapoor. Harsh has the biopic of Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra in the pipeline.
