One thing you avoid doing on sets: Eating more of set food as it gives me acidity
What is your current obsession: Normally
I am obsessed with travelling and at the moment I have no obsession.
But I am definitely occupied with the renovation of my house.
If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it: A sea-facing terrace apartment on the highest floor in Bandra Bandstand.
What are your must-have pieces for winter: An Armani Jacket and a good pull over
A language that you would like to learn: French

Does having a married co-star affect your on-screen chemistry?
Not
at all! Suhasi has a very supportive family that trusts her completely
and stands by her decision to work in the industry. I have met some of
them. I have met her husband and he's a great guy. Her in-laws believe
in the Barjatyas and so there's no negative vibes at all for me to be
working with her.
At what point in your life did you realize you wanted to be an actor?
I
realized quite late in my life that I wanted to be an actor. I'm a
chemical engineer by qualification. I got a KT in my last year. I
pursued event management and that's what gave me an entry into the field
of entertainment. I've worked with experts like Umang Kumar.
When I
saw what happened at these events I was like- 'I wanna be on stage, I
wanna dress up, I wanna give interviews.' I realized I loved everything
about an actor's life. So I started giving auditions and here I am.
You
see, this is the reason why coming everyday to the sets does not feel
mundane at all. I love coming to the sets every day. I love every moment
of being in this profession.
Have you achieved whatever you had planned you would by this time?
I
don't make such time limited plans. I don't keep any physical goals
like- by so and so time I'll buy my own apartment or own a Mercedes.
Nope!
I'd made a goal that I want to be an actor and I've achieved
that goal. The press and media are accepting me and I'm happy with this
achievement. Somewhere down the line I want to make films and contribute
more to the entertainment industry. But then again, that has no cut-off
line.
What are the three things, according to you, that aspiring actors should always bear in mind?
First, know the job.
Second, stay true to it. Be sincere.
Third, it is the medium that makes you and not the other way around. You are never bigger than the medium.
What is the motto of your life?
My motto is as the classic song goes, "Don't worry, be happy".

It is notable that Karan has come of age since his debut in 2004 with the show Saarrthi. He feels that in the past eight years he has learned a lot many things. Talking of his growth in town, he said, "I would give myself 6/10 in terms of my growth as an actor. When I came into the industry, I didn't know much about acting but over the years, performing different roles, and meeting different kinds of people have helped me learn a lot".
He further added, "This industry is like a school for me. I am blessed to have had such a wonderful journey so far. It is not difficult to get famous in this industry but it is difficult to sustain. You don't get work on time. There are times when you don't have any work and there are times when you are flooded with it. It sometimes does become difficult as one has to be very patient when it comes to work".
