Karan talks about his relationship, bad boy image, his dbut film "Alone" and turning "Nude" if the character demands...and more...
Karan Singh Grover may have tasted love not once but twice. He was married not once but twice...his first ex- wife being Shraddha Nigam and then to Jennifer Winget. However he seems to be twice shy now after experiencing a sour taste in his married life. Undeniably; then the actor decides to mend his ways of not falling in and out of love frequently.
So is it once bitten and always shy for Karan?" Falling in love and falling out...in love frequently? "Maybe, I am more driven by my heart more than my mind, my heart rules it. I can't help it... that's the kind of person I am. I make rash decision in life. Owing to my rash decisions in my life, especially pertaining to my personal life which I may have taken something that is rash and it is my decision, so it is only I have to deal it with!"
Well! When will Karan fall again in love? "This time, I want to be away from relationship. I have learnt for a fact that I should completely be away from any kind of relationship with anybody. I need to understand the person that I am before?? I will have to say and decide for myself -that I am okay to stay with someone else for the rest of my life with that someone. If I am unaware of my own self then I will not be true to somebody else. I want to be alone and away in retrospect at this point in time."
Who's to be blamed for his two break ups in marriage? "I regret a few decisions in life. Well! I do not want to disclose which ones. Of'coz it needs two hands to clap I am not saying I am solely responsible for break up. Of coz, I do not blame myself but I will not say that it's not my fault. In every relationship-if two people decide to stay together let be people to gather and be responsible for it. If it breaks and they fall apart even then two people are responsible for it. I am not somebody who will shy away from blaming my own wrong doings, but that's not the only thing that spoils the relationship."
How easy is it to taste break ups? If we see the other way round, let me tell you ...it is not easy to taste break ups!! The other side is tough to digest. For me I think I was lucky enough to get this film"Alone".It became a bit easy for me to hold all the ill feelings or the wrong doings of we both the partners. As I had no time to sit down and ponder over what had gone wrong while I was in relationship .Work has definitely helped me come out of the loneliness .Film "Alone" came to at a time when I was facing a low phase both professionally and personally too."
Whether as dbut film "Alone" you consider as a good break and will you survive in the B'Town?" I have not thought about what I will be doing in future I am very instinctive. I feel whatever I do on TV/theatres/films...I will never like to point out the wrong doings of others. However, I only follow my heart. Something which clicks me I do that. I can't change this is part and parcel of my nature I am okay with it. Though I do not plan. About survival- I think it's the survival of the fittest! Smiles wickedly.
On choosing this film "Alone."-You have to live the life for yourself; my thought process is very different. It may be not right. I should chose according to what suits me...which others feel so. But it's not so for me, whatever, I have chosen is suiting me. As an actor if I am associated to a story whether it's good or not. ...my close friends did not want me to do this film they wanted me to do a film, which will be carried totally on my shoulders. They wanted me to carry the comedy, thrill and action on my shoulder. But I am happy I followed my own instinct and chose to do "Alone". The film seems to be pretty good.
Having traits similar to Salman...Like removing his shirts, drawing, singing and speaking his heart Karan quips," We have grown watching Salman's films. He has been an inspiration to us all. On his bad boy image Karan says, "Bad boy I will not ask why? It will not effect and change me. Bad boy is image is working for me, its fine. If I am miss-understood for speaking frankly then that's how I am? What I am good at? I don't know? But yes! I sing sometimes, I draw and I swim a lot I do not know, if I am good at that or not? I am very shy I can never get to singing; my laxman- rekha of singing is just my "Bath-room! I might explore writing at some point of time.-Yes! Definitely... May be my traits are similar. But I am not good at drawing! I just draw.
I have been removing my clothes...turning bare [shirtless] from my first show on television,"Dil Mil Gaye! For me if the demand of the story wants me to turn totally nude and if justifies I will unhesitatingly turn "Nude. I have no limitations. I am okay with it.
"I am not having an affair with Bipasha. Our reel love has not transformed to real. We cannot hold the tongues whatever people want to say its fine with me. There nothing to hide. Our on screen chemistry is good. Whenever you feel comfortable it shows on the screen."
Lastly having the tag of being unprofessional especially after Karan left "Kabool Hai he clarifies," I have told this to the media earlier. I was asked to be at bay from the media. As the Zee people wanted their first article to be published on this issue from their side. I have not disclosed, I had a two and a half hrs meeting with them. My contract had finished I wanted to do KH just for one year. I wanted to go these guys had made so many changes in my character; I have given my time as I had promised. I begged their leave. They told me whatever money you want to charge we are ready to pay. At the end of the day if I am not happy with what I am doing what I will do with the money. That's what I told them. My agreement too was over. They requested me not to talk o the media, they wanted to publish first article from their end, but they back stabbed me. This is what they told me, "We will work in future; you'll start producing shows for us, as you are keen in plunging into production. We were all having alcohol that night during the meeting. I say," They all are alcoholic!
