I could not agree with you more. When KSG cries, he makes me cry too. He truly is a wonderful actor. I loved him as Armaan in dil mil gaye and I love him as Asad...why, because he becomes the character. Lovely post.

Personally I think the whole KSG suffering from his role is blown out of proportion. He's just said that sometimes when he has to do really sad emotional scenes that he gets a bit down after it, but that gets sorted out once he's home.

And about the whole actors breaking up after shows getting over, don't know why such a debate is going on here. I'll like to point out something completely opposite happened in the case of KSG. So that's quite a pointless debate here, as its not really connected to anything related to QH or KSG. Just my opinion, but don't let my words stop your debate.

I appreciate your constructive criticism. However, I do feel that how strongly or lightly we view an actor's methods is really up to us. While you may feel that it's all very light inside Karan's head, I actually think that he gets so immersed into the characters, that it's harder for him to come out of it than other actors on television. There are few other actors in Hollywood and Bollywood that I feel have the same tendency, like Daniel Day Lewis and Hrithik Roshan. Roshan once said something like this in one of his recent interviews (after his hit Agneepath), "I am a bad actor, I don't know how to act. I have to become this character, which is really tough for me."

I'm just saying that KSG is on the same lines when it comes to acting method.

Thank you! And thank you again for understanding the gist of my post, which you summed up beautifully in these "bold" short words.

You've misunderstood me. I never said that it is very light inside his mind when he's in character. I just meant to say that in really sad scenes he's can get a bit down in real life. But it's nothing that negatively impacts him. Like he says himself, he snaps out of it. Plus KSG is not a happy go lucky type of guy he is made out to be. He's actually quite a calm and collected, and quiet guy. Something most people close to him frequently say. So if he seems quiet or even a bit dull, he's just being himself.

We all know what an amazing actor he is. He depicts every kind of emotion to it's best. We all know Surbhi is a new comer so she can't match up to his level but I think she also is doing an amazing job as a new comer.

[quote] It's very evident that Karan is an actor who internalizes everything. While this makes for great performances and happy producers, directors and fans. I think Karan actually suffers every time he has switch his reality. I think this is also the reason why he falls for people that he acts with, it's psychologically natural for actors like him. It's very difficult and would take a lot of mind training to switch it on and off soo quickly, and Karan hasn't mastered it because he hasn't been doing this for too long. I am not justifying any of his past actions, but just saying that this behavior actually makes sense for an actor like him who internalizes everything.

Coming to this, I have to kind of disagree. Have you seen him fallen for Shilpa or Sukhriti. No. He's been friends with them and that's it. When it comes to Jennifer, he has admitted that he liked her ever since KZK when they first worked together. They have been really good friends and now they're married. And also coming to the switch thing. Armaan was a lot like Karan himself, so there was no switch thing there. He was natural on screen and off screen during DMG.

Can i please disagree? And I am not bashing just stating an opinion.

Out of his women, hi sonly romantic interest whom he acted with was Jennifer but he fell "in love" with Nicole while he was enacting romantic intense scenes with Jennifer. And with Nicole there was no intense acting, emotional scenes etc, just simple proximity due to rehearsals. If I remember there were some 8-10 other participants on that show doing exactly what he was, but none of them fell for their partners or destroyed their marriages for their flavour of the month! Not that it took him long to move on from Nicole.

So unable to get out of character is a convenient excuse - handy and easy to use! Who doesn't have temptations thrown in their way at some point in time? Does being married mean that you don't find any other woman attractive at all? That you become blind to the charms of the other sex? Of course not! You will always find someone attractive and appreciate them - its natural! Its what you do with that attraction that is important and shows strength of character.

But then who am I to judge his life and what he does with it :-)) I have always liked Jennifer and i hope he stays faithful to her.

I think he is a good actor who is very strong in the romantic genre which is aided by his chocolate boy looks. In fact I have always felt that with KSG, even if you were to give him a piece of wood, he would romance that perfectly believably!

So I shall sit back and enjoy the QH ride! Unless of corse the CVs decide to butcher it! :-))

You can most certainly disagree :) However, all points refuting my claim that Karan is an actor who lives his character instead of acting it out hasn't really been responded to in your reply. All I see here is an array of personal accusations about the morality of the way the actor chose to behave in his personal life. Which is completely out of topic. We're discussing acting methods here, not his love life. If you have reasons explaining why you disagree about what I think his acting method is, I'd be happy to continue this discussion :)

I am not saying that he fell in love with all his costars, I'm saying that while acts like Armaan, he actually lives the character of Armaan. So while Karan is acting as Armaan, he's actually living Armaaan, who happens to be in love with Ridhhima, the character (no matter which actress is playing this role.) So Karan, as Armaan, is invariably in love with Ridhhima, no matter who's acting it out. I hope it's clear now.

The fact that he actually feel in love with Jenny, the actor, may actually be an anomaly, because, as you pointed out, he didn't fall for other actors who depicted the characters of Riddhima. Same goes for Asad and Zoya's portrayal as well, I'm talking about when the actors are their characters, not when they're themselves.

Let's try to keep this thread kosher and only talk about Karan's acting method. Much appreciated!

Thank you so much for such a warm reception! Hug back from me🤗

And it's great to know that someone else is also thinking on the same terms. At least now I know that I'm not the only insane one analyzing my favorite actor's acting method in so much detail like crazy!

I've been doing the same since past 5-6 years.I love doing detailed analysis. 😆
We are sailing in the same boat dear.
U deserve all the appreciation.

Take care! 🤗
