Actor Karan Kundrra, who is remembered
as Arjun Punj from the show Kitani
Mohabbat Hai, credits his film career to his
stint on the small screen and says working
in television makes a difference.
Karan made his Bollywood debut with the
2017 film Mubarakan and in 2018 featured
in the horror movie 1921.
Asked if he gives credit to his work on the
small screen for the recognition he has
achieved, Karan told IANS here, "Absolutely...
There are people who know me because I
have done all of my other shows. So, yes TV
makes a big difference and also I think the
reason I was cast in some of these films
was because of what I have done on
television.
Karan Kundrra
Does he want to star in films in the
romance genre?
"Beggers are not choosers. I would want to
work with good directors. I've had Vikram
Bhatt in two films and Anees Bazmi for
Mubarakan. Right now my focus is to be
working with as many directors as possible
it's not what I want to play because now
I'm an actor and I have proven myself, said
the actor, known for playing a lover boy on
the small screen.
The 33-year-old believes that he wouldn't
be typecast in the industry as he has
featured in films of comedy and horror
genre.
"I don't think I would be typecast because
of my TV background (of playing a lover
boy). I might one day get up and say if
there is a good negative, I would like to kill
it, he added.

Karan is here along with his girlfriend and
popular VJ Anusha Dandekar for the season
three of MTV Love School.
Asked if working together on the show has
strengthened their bond more, he said,
"Yes, it does. Definitely... I am here with
Anusha and there is no network and we
have come closer... You have to understand
if your ego is bigger than your girlfriend's
respect and she (Anusha) also needs to
understand what are the things that irritate
me... We understand each other very well...
So, it's about understanding.
Karan has previously hosted reality shows
like Roadies Rising and Love School season
two.
Is working on reality shows currently his
focus?
Karan said, "No. Not really. I took a break
from reality shows... I opted out of Roadies
Rising because I wanted to do Mubarakan...
The shooting dates clashed. I was in
London through and then I did 1921 which
was my solo... I have always been an actor. I
enjoy being on MTV.
The Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum actor says he
wants to balance it out.
"It's not like that I am focussing on reality
shows. Love School' is my reality show after
two years and I did three films in the
middle. It's all a balance for me, he added.
