Rane owns a charity foundation holding garage sales for the ShirtOff Foundation to raise money to support the education of a girl-child (Swati) who had lost her parents to HIV. The campaign has him selling T-shirts he wore in his films at charity garage sales. And the actor had recently sold his shirts in Hyderabad from his latest hit Sanam Teri Kasam and managed to single-handedly raise close to Rs Two lakhs and still counting through online sales. Talking about this unique initiative, " My fans buy my shirts on sale and pose with me holding placards that read Took my #ShirtOff۪ while some choose to simply contribute." Harshvardhan also says that he is humbled by the support his fans have shown him over the years. Every contribution no matter how big or small, go a long way in helping Swati, he says.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bizasialive.com/harshvardhan-rane-goes-shirtless-for-a-good-cause/|title=Harshvardhan Rane goes shirtless for a good cause|date=2016-02-19|work=BizAsia {{!}} Media, Entertainment, Showbiz, Events and Music|access-date=2018-08-08|language=en-GB|archive-date=9 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180809024958/https://www.bizasialive.com/harshvardhan-rane-goes-shirtless-for-a-good-cause/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/140216/harshavardhan-rane-hosts-shirf-off-to-fund-the-education-of-a-little-girl.html|title=Harshvardhan Rane hosts Shirt Off to fund the education of a little girl|date=2016-02-14|work=Deccan Chronicle|access-date=2018-08-08|language=en|archive-date=8 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180808234316/https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/140216/harshavardhan-rane-hosts-shirf-off-to-fund-the-education-of-a-little-girl.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
