Wasn't Karan raised abroad? Because that is how he befriended Saahil and him along with the 2 others who were his friends, confidante and accomplices in the revenge phase who joined Virani Industries only to ruin them?

He came to India on a business trip for his company "Mandira something" suggesting that he was well off. There were references of him becoming alone after his mother's speculated passing (because she returns to Shantiniketan and marries Kiran). There were never references of any "struggles" except that she was a single parent. Infact he and everyone including Tulsi commended his upbringing despite Mandira being the kind of person she was.

Back then and even in S2, he always said that had it not been for Tulsi, he would have been branded illegitimate for life after the truth came out.

@bold yes Karan was raised in Australia

He came to India to fulfill his plan of avenging his mother by Mihir and get her her place in Virani household. He established Mandira investment in India and that was after Mandira supposedly died (and Gautam had married Damini by cheating) and he had got some money from Viranis. Nothing he wasn't well off, Mihir paid for him and his mother but that was enough to survive and stay there. So he was normal. But it was clearly shown he was repeatedly looked down upon for being illegitimate as we know Damini 's parents denied their marriage owing to his background. It was clearly mentioned that since his childhood Mandira was ill(fake) so he had to take care of his mother since childhood and Mihir was nowhere there

Karan’s struggles were never financial. I don’t think FP even implied that they were, they were always more about being accepted by Mihir, the psychological and emotional toll that the condition of his mother’s apparent mental health took on him as well as his father’s refusal to accept him as a son.

Mandira had him in Australia after she managed to randomly bump into Mihir, who was there for some business trip. We don’t know how Mandira managed to empty enough funds from her accounts or raise enough money by selling her shares/cars/jewellery/properties to settle in Australia without making Anupam realise the same as one would presume that he would have managed the transfer/closing of her assets and bank accounts post her presumed death.

How he never knew that there were assets missing/sold or accounts emptied probably in instalments or maybe all at once before her death is beyond me.

Even if Mandira had her own money courtesy of her career as a doctor, we don’t know how she got to Australia. Heck, Anupam and his mom never even wondered how her passport was missing afterwards is a mystery. Because per Hindu traditions, the items belonging to the dead which can be donated are given away to the needy and the poor on the 13th day post their death, else the rituals post the death aren’t considered complete and the departed soul is not properly allowed to move on or even have liberation. So one would presume they had to have emptied out her cupboards, drawers and eventually had to have closed her bank accounts, demat accounts, lockers and any investments made in terms of FDs or MFs or otherwise. They would have transferred the properties she had inherited/owned to Anupam’s name too as I doubt her mom was willing to do it given she had lost a young daughter.

Mandira was quite wealthy but it’s hard to get how her family would never figure out all these loopholes and have questions about her presumed death.

We can imagine that post Karan getting born Mihir took care of her financially as in S1 there was a scene where he is telling the family that Mandira’s doctor called him to inform him she was pregnant, but he never quite landed to see her or take care of her. The doctor would call to inform him about the updates but he never made the calls himself. Then he eventually got the call from her doctor that she had given birth to his son. He says that he couldn’t neglect his duties towards the child who wasn’t at fault for what had transpired between Mandira and him, couldn’t just dismiss his existence so he did what he could and ensured that Karan never lacked for anything be it food, clothes, good education, a roof over his head etc.

We can presume though it was never clearly stated that Mihir also perhaps made some investments in Karan’s name in Australia so that his son could have some share of his inheritance thinking that perhaps he would never inherit anything from his paternal or maternal families, this was the least Mihir could do to ensure his security until Karan was old enough and capable enough to take care of his own finances and earn his own money.

So Karan having money isn’t the biggest issue here. What Karan lacked was a dad who loved him and acknowledged him as his own, a mom who wasn’t pretending to be a nutcase; not to mention a huge loving family with siblings and cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents. Yes, Gautam too missed out on these but he never had to think he was being rejected by his dad for merely existing even though he thought Kiran was his dad. Kiran didn’t deny accepting him as a son, he had assumed he had a sibling in Karisma too, a mom in Aarti.

Karan and Gautam have both had messed up childhoods where money wasn’t the issue but the environment a child needs definitely were - however even there if we compare, Karan got the shorter stick. I had mentioned this in the previous EDT - Gautam is the child the family pined for, Karan is the child who pined for a family; a family that didn’t even know he existed and shunned him the very moment they found out about him.

Wow, so this is a crazy coincidence - Hiten, Sumeet and Smriti all share the same birth month - March! Their birthdays are on 5, 18 and 23 respectively!

Will be out watching Dhurandhar 2 on Wednesday; so Thursday it is for me!

Oops double post

I forgot about Hiten. That’s such a coincidence. I have still not watched the first Dhurandhar yet. Happy advanced Birthday 🎂 🥰❤️

Absolutely, their stars are aligned!

D1 is an absolute masterpiece and I loved it. Was bummed when I had to wait until the second week was nearly over to get a single ticket and those were literally the last ones available too else I would’ve had to wait another week to try since the tickets sold out like crazy here with people going for a rewatch repeatedly with a different group of friends or family or just because they wanted to hear the songs again in the theatre, some went again because they missed a plot point or detail they didn’t pay attention too carefully the first time around.

This time I got a chance and took it which thankfully paid off since I got the tickets for the preview show itself! D2 is selling tickets like hot cakes here and I didn’t want to get inadvertently spoiled just because I opened Twitter or Instagram
