Sorry to say this and burst your bubble, but Karan is the worst father out of the Virani household.
He had the sanskar and power of Tulsi, the brains of Mihir and the humility of Ba, but, he was so lost in love (I don't want to hear any excuses... because there are many stupid ones), that he was unable to bring up his children in the right way.
Case 1: Bhoomi
Karan always saw a reflection of Nandini in Bhoomi and therefore, took special care of her and made sure that she is free from error and all her wishes are granted. Like all fathers, he loved her and never made her feel as if she is an orphan.
But, because of this "love shower" and sympathy towards her, he was unable to be strict with her, which made her a freak, who doesn't care about anyone except herself and insults everyone, including Karan's idol, Mother India Tulsi Maiyya.
Case 2: Manthan
Drugging a person's drink, insulting poor people, ridciuling elders and ignoring the commanding is the nature of Manthan Virani. He doesn't care if he is right or wrong, he just does what he "thinks" (when he doesn't have a brain) is good for him.
Tanya took care of him and pampered him alot, but in the end, his father, Karan had the most impact on him. Karan was unable to make his son like himself and due to that, a girl is raped and Manthan's erratic behavior has made him an enemy within the house, where people like Tripti and Mohini are plotting against him.
