  • When Karan told about his acting desires to Akshay and Twinkle they didn’t believe him at first. Karan told in an interview-

    They didn’t see it coming because I’ve always been an introvert. But, once I told them, they were extremely supportive. They both warned me that it won’t be an easy journey ahead. At the time, I was this chubby kid who thought I only had to lose weight and bagging films thereafter won’t be too tough.”

  • The actor also disclosed about facing rejection in the auditions. He said-

    I have gone out there for auditions, I have been rejected and been told already by a few people that they don’t see any spark in me. However, most said that I do have potential. So, it’s good that I have been exposed to rejection early in my career.”
