Talking about coincidences, Harshita Gaur who will be seen in the upcoming season of Mirzapur on Amazon Prime actually has roots in Uttar Pradesh. Harshita's maternal grandfather hailed from Deoria, which is close to Mirzapur, and he grew up there along with his siblings.
Speaking about her childhood memories, Harshita said, "Just talking about Mirzapur makes me go all nostalgic as I have spent quite an amount of my childhood there. My naanaji and his younger brother were settled in Mirzapur. My naana eventually settled in Amritsar but we used to visit our cousins in Mirzapur during summer holidays as a kid and I have actually seed guns and pistols in that home. I was in fifth or sixth grade when I would visit the city and women used to be in ghoonghat till their waists. Only a few years back I got to know that my naani was actually fighting a case for long due to some illegal land grabbing and in fact our family and nani was advised not to go to Mirzapur or Wasliganj because of the threat of being killed on sight. It still sends shivers down my spine when I think about it."
