Karan Wahi has the highest fan following and after getting many mails GR8! selected him for this exclusive column-Fan Club
Facts little known about me...
I hail from Delhi and came to Mumbai to do my first show, Remix. The auditions for the show was done in Delhi itself. All my life, I have been a cricketer and have played cricket at the state level. I always aspired being a cricketer as a kid and later wanted to become an actor, which I did. Before cricket, I was an ardent soccer player. I was just about okay in studied, neither too good nor too bad. I was basically part of each and every school activity; be it the dramatics society or choreography, art and craft, music (I was a drummer!). This was basically to keep myself away from classroom as much as I could (Smiles).
My passions...
My passion has always been and will always be cricket. If given a chance, I would love to get back to cricket and fulfil my childhood aspirations.
Craziest thing done by me...
I am totally scared of heights and yet three years back I did Parasailing in Bali. I don't know what came to my mind that I even considered doing that. Besides this, we keep on doing a lot of weird stuff like, while a friend is sleeping we keep eggs in his one hand, a pastry in the other and put something on his face. So when he gets up or even when he turns around, he's all messed up. Also, sometime back one of my friend had dislocated shoulder and unknowingly I patted on his back without realizing that he was still now okay. The shoulder which was supposed to get well soon took another one month to heal.
Interesting incident of a fan...
Long time back, two of my fans made a two and a half feet long book for me which was full of my pictures with messages written on it. Besides, when I went to Pune and Kolkata, some crazy fans ripped my shirt. But it's still good to know that people love you.
Love is very special...
Life is very dicey...
Are you single Yes, I am!
What kinda girl will you fall for?
There are no certain 'to haves' as such. Once you start being with the person, you gradually realize it. Offcourse even I would want someone who's good looking, charming and interesting. For me, looks do matter to a certain extent but after that you need to connect with the person. If you can't connect, it's like being with a showcase that you just see and have no relation with.
Your favorite possession...
My car-Honda Accord. I can actually kill a person if he/she does something wrong to it.
Closest to heart...
Though I am very flamboyant, my family is still closest to my heart.
In one line, Karan is...
Very weird but in a good sense I might react to the same situation in two different ways. Also I am quite moody, I might upset someone with something and immediately after that I might surprise people by doing something very special. My friends, too, call me weird.
One role that you would die to play...
Any role that makes me famous. But yes, any of Shah Rukh Khan's roles would be my dream role.
One serial that you wouldn't miss an episode of...
Remix. I genuinely never missed any episode of the show probably because that as my first show. As a kid though, I never missed watching 'Just Mohabbat'
Your ultimate dream...
I guess like everyone else, even my dream is to be successful land happy with what I am doing. If I am content with what I am doing, then other's opinion don't really matter. All I hope for is people loving me for the work that I do.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Jennifer Winget:
Obviously my fondest memories of Christmas would be my childhood days. It use to be so exciting to sing carols, to go out on street singing and wishing people Merry Christmas, regular visit to church and greeting everyone with love. It was the purest and joyous form of Christmas that made you happy from within. I haven't planned anything as such for the New Year; probably I will be celebrating with my family and a few close friends. I don't think there is any place I would especially got to celebrate 31st December as all the places are crowded. Even in Mumbai 31st December is like a nightmare if you visit any pub, disc or any such place, I don't enjoy in such crowded places. I would rather spend it with my family and friends, setting up a small house party at a villa or a farm house. I would really to enjoy with the people whom I know but none the less I would love to holiday at various places around the world.
