Karan Kundrra the charismatic actor has had a long and fruitful 12 years journey in the industry. From being the lucky one to be chosen by Ekta Kapoor from his Facebook profile, Karan Kundrra has entertained his fans and audiences in the best possible ways.
Karan who has had challenging roles to play in shows Kitani Mohabbat Hai, Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum, MTV Splitsvilla, MTV Roadies and much more, has always strived hard on perfection when it comes to work.
Karan who has recently entered Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai in the role of Ranveer, says, “Ranveer is a fantastic character. It is in one of the biggest shows in Indian television. It is a very well-written character. I love to take characters that are fun to deal with, and I see to it that I have not dealt with such a character before. The intensity of Ranveer is what I can relate to.”
Ask Karan whether he followed Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai before, and he says, “I had known about this show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, but had never seen it.”
Tell him whether he was not apprehensive of entering a show which was 12 years old, and had the most popular Jodi of Kartik and Naira, and Karan quips, “I don’t do shows on that basis. I want to do a character and live the character to its full potential. I will not mind it if it ends too, after going its length. However, there should be no drag. This is the first time I am working with Rajan Shahi. It was a 10-minute conversation that was supposed to happen, but it ended up being for an hour or so. This role just happened then and there.”
Ask Karan about the compliments received for Ranveer’s character and he accepts, “Yes, fans have been going really gaga about the role. Fans are the ones who will always love you. As for them, this happens to be one of the best characters that I have played. They say that Ranveer is so very different from the rest that I have played. For them to find me doing something fresh even after me being in the industry for 12 years, is really a compliment. I am grateful to them.”
Karan who looks his best in the role of Ranveer is happy about being complimented by his fans. “Yes, I have been getting great feedback for my look. People have been asking me about the secret to his good look, and I cannot stop but smile. Guess it is in my parent’s (laughs).”
On completing 12 years in the industry, Karan confides, “I have had a pretty good blast. I have had people following me and my journey for all these 12 years. There have been many new fans who have come in and seen my work now in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. It feels good to be loved.”
Karan expresses huge satisfaction at the way in which his career has shaped up. “I never work on the basis of the platform. I pick up work and give my best for it. I have a blast doing what I am doing. I am surely satisfied with my journey. I work in my own space and have my own pattern in life. I like to be positive and maintain a good balance in life.”
