'I am pretty good at singing, dancing and acting' - Karn Vir Bohra

He came, he ruled and he conquered all hearts as Prem in Kasautii Zindagi Kay! Yes, we are talking of the handsome hunk, Karn Vir Bohra, (earlier called Manoj Bohra) who is back to Television after a long hiatus.

Ask him about the reason for name-change and the actor quips, “What’s in a name?”. But then, he goes on to say, “Karn Vir is actually my name according to my Janm Patri, given by my nanaji. My Dadaji who was a staunch fan of actor Manoj Kumar, gave me the name of Manoj then. But now, I am Karn Vir Bohra, as it is always auspicious to be called by the name mentioned in the Janm Patri”.

Welcome back to Television after a long hiatus! “Yes, I am glad that I am back to television. I guess Mr. and Ms. Television is the best platform that I could have ever got where I will get to do what I like – Sing, dance and act, and mind you, I am pretty good at all the three”, chides the actor in style.

Karn Vir gives himself a 10 on 10 when it comes to singing, dancing and acting, and is very confident of doing well in Mr. and Ms. Television, the 2 week reality extravaganza on Sony. The actor will be seen on the big screen too, in the movie Kismat Connection. He says, “I have never been against acting in TV, it was just that I did not get anything good. My movie is slated to release in July, so I guess this is the perfect time to get back to the small screen, and relive all the good memories of being Prem. This is just like a prelude before my movie releases (smiles)”.

So here comes the all-rounder ready to take on the rest!!
