Harsh Beniwal Shares His Biggest Kaand In Life, Says, “Maine Banayi Thi Ek Fake ID”

In a recent episode of Tere Gully Mein, we met the viral content king Harsh Beniwal and the lover boy from the hit series College Romance, Gagan Arora. The duo joined Curly Tales on a food trail in South Delhi’s Humayunpur, a neighbourhood known for serving authentic cuisine from Nagaland, Manipur, and Korea. Eager to experiment with food, they tried squids, prawns, crabs, octopus, and more. In tune with their recently released series ‘Lafangey,’ Harsh and Gagan showed their hilarious and mischievous side like never before. As they opened up about their lives, careers, and relationships, Harsh Beniwal, the more mischievous of the two, also shared his biggest kaand (scandal). Read on to find out about it.

Harsh Beniwal’s Biggest ‘Kaand’ Is…

The duo is a complete package of entertainment and comedy, and their mischievous side is clearly visible throughout the episode. So we were curious to know about the biggest kaand of their lives. Harsh Beniwal went on to share his story and said, “Maine banayi thi fake ID ek ladki ki, aur main uss time bohot chhota tha, mujhe knowledge nahi thi.” He created a fake social media ID pretending to be a girl and started chatting with one of his friends for fun.

Apart from that one friend, everyone else in the group knew that it was Harsh behind the fake account, and there was no real girl. This trend of creating fake profiles was common back when social media was just beginning to gain popularity. At the time, people often created fake profiles with names like ‘Angel Priya,’ and Harsh did the same. “Puri raat main baith ke usse baatein kar raha hoon, aur phir main use kehta tha, ‘Suno, 50 rupaye ka recharge kara do,’” he said.

He would ask his friend to recharge his phone, and in return, Harsh would agree to chat with him. To keep up his ruse, whenever his friend asked to speak on a call, Harsh would make excuses like, “Abhi papa aa gaye hain ya mummy aa gayi hain. Lekin maine usse recharge bohot karwaya hai,” he added with a laugh. He even revealed that most of the time, when his friend messaged the fake ID, the notification would pop up on Harsh’s phone. And the funniest part? Harsh would be sitting right next to him the whole time! This hilarious anecdote made everyone burst into laughter.

What’s His ‘Delhi Wala Trait’?

Since Harsh Beniwal is from Delhi, we asked him what ‘Delhi trait’ he carries that just never goes away. To this, Harsh replied, “Main gaali bohot deta hoon. Aaj bhi jab main apne bhai ke saath, jo mere hair karte hain, gaadi mein aa raha tha, toh woh keh raha tha, ‘Harsh bhai yaar, maine pehli baar kisi ko set pe itni gaali dete hue dekha hai.’” His hairstylist even said that because of him, he has also learnt how to abuse. And Harsh proudly took the credit for it.

The duo’s energy throughout the episode was full of fun and laughter. Want to know more about what they shared? Watch the full episode.
