'Inspector Avinash Wasn't Just Another Project...': Harjinder Singh On His Transformative Journey

Actor Harjinder Singh may have steadily built his career with projects such as Tipppsy and Inspector Avinash as Kamlesh, but the actor admits that the crime drama holds a special place in his heart. Having been a part of both seasons, Harjinder says the series proved to be a defining moment in his acting journey.

Looking back at his experience, the actor describes Inspector Avinash as a project that changed him both professionally and personally. "Being part of Inspector Avinash for two seasons has been a game-changer for me. On a show this intense, you realize acting isn't about delivering lines, it's about living every moment. Sharing screen space with actors like Randeep Hooda made the journey even more rewarding. Watching his dedication up close pushes you to raise your own standards. Over two seasons, I've grown not just as an actor but as a person. The show taught me to trust my instincts, stay grounded, and value patience. Looking back, Inspector Avinash wasn't just another project, it was a turning point that deepened my understanding of the craft," he says.

With audiences eagerly awaiting the next chapter of the series, Harjinder says expectations surrounding a successful franchise should be seen positively rather than as pressure. "If audiences were waiting for a second season, it means the first one made an impact, and that's something you value, not fear. What excited me about Season 2 was the chance to surprise people. Audiences already knew the world of Inspector Avinash, so the challenge wasn't repetition, it was discovering new layers within it," he shares.

As OTT storytelling continues to evolve, Harjinder feels actors today have greater freedom to experiment and grow. "What's most exciting today is that actors are no longer defined only by how they look or where they come from, but by the stories they can tell. It's created an environment where actors can grow organically, experiment with genres, and build a career through meaningful roles rather than waiting for one big break," he concludes.
