Diljit won the award for his stint in "Udta Punjab" and Harshvardhan, who was also nominated in the same category for "Mirzya," believes the award should have gone to people who are actually newcomers, and not to somebody who has worked in several films before heading to Bollywood.
Filmfare Executive Editor Anuradha Choudhary tweeted, "The sense of self entitlement some of these newcomer actors have is beyond imagination. If only they were half as talented."
She also retweeted a blogger, who wrote, "You know what's ridiculous? #HarshvardhanKapoor thinking that he deserved Filmfare more than #DiljitDosanjh. Better your acting buddy!"
Harshvardhan shot back, saying, "Don't feel entitled to any award, I'm questioning the principle of who is a newcomer, have zero problems losing to a genuine newcomer."
Alluding to Diljit's appearance in one of the song video's of "Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya," Harshvardhan wrote, "And go through people's filmographies while your at it. The guy was in a Hindi film in 2008...."
The 26-year-old said he would not have minded losing to Jim Sarbh from "Neerja".
"@jimSarbh was amazing in #neerja and is a newcomer would've been happy to lose to him," he added.
Except for Filmfare, Harshvardhan has won most of the best debut awards this year.
In the same award show, his sister Sonam Kapoor won critics' award for best actor (female) for her performance in "Neerja".
