No one is perfect nor is he. I won't really call him complicated and neither will I say that what he said proved him to be self centered. That was merely stating he thought the event and results were biased. I think for someone whose been in the industry for so many years and has genuinely performed so amazingly, does not get any sort of reward that encourages the talent he has, it gets frustrating. We as students and employees feel that too, when we put in so much and never get rewarded, then it should not be different for him.

Coming to self centered, he has said it himself that he is self conceited and if he has put in everything he has to make the character real to all of us, he definitely has all rights to think he deserved it. I respect everyone's opinions though.

Nisha, I am glad you brought it up. If someone compared me to an actor of such calibre as Shah Rukh Khan - and they were comparing the actors Karan and Surbhi to the SRK and Kajol of the television screen, take it as a compliment. Even Surbhi was trying to point it out and later did an excellent job of helping him clarify it by pointing out that they'd like to have the charactersAsad-Zoya seen for their own unique qualities. Karan seemed horribly offended and I could not understand why. Part of the reason this comparison was used: to help some people understand that two actors can be great friends and an amazing jodi and be married or involved with other people. So there were two reasons for the compliment.

Second, even if you are unhappy with the voters methodology, do not make it public otherwise you look like a sore loser. The person who won, his producer is linked to me on FB and he was praising him on his FB as a deserved win. I do not know the actor, I do not watch the show, but what IF the tape sent was in fact showcasing his talents as a versatile actor? Personally I have no respect for Indian award shows either television or film and completely understand why Aamir Khan boycotts them. However, Karan needs to think carefully how he expresses himself especially on the night of the show. If I was his manager, I'd be calling him and saying "Karan, W*F were you thinking?!"

ummm I'm sorry but do u really think world is full of saints? Really now :/ Come on man! He spoke what he felt like u just spoke what u felt..Why are this issue being hyped-up like this...nd ppl vote for the PH?? Allah miyaan, Ye kab hua! Dude! Wake up and smell the coffee..We all know how popular karan is on the internet..The other guy who won is anything but popular and No am not degrading him but sadly the guy isn't popular in masses atleast the internet medium where the Voting was conducted...and the only reason KSG spoke up was coz he was very well aware of the whole scenario..It was biased..Nahi hota to ITA ke page par bashing ki dukan nagi lagi hoti!


About the Kajol-SRK issue...have u seen that ad "I don't wanna be the next somebody one" where someone points a kid as the next einstein and he gets sad..That is comparison...He doesn't want to be the next someone...let him be the first KSG nd he sure is one of a kind.

A very sensible post,I must say.

It's your right to like or not like an actor on personal basis.

I love KSG because he is a brilliant actor and what he does in his personal life hardly bothers me.

Personally,I feel that we cannot judge a person without meeting him.a few interviews can't reveal much about a person until and unless you meet him personally and spend some time with him.I can't make a very strong opinion about a person I've never met.KSG entertains me to the fullest and that's why I love him.

So what if KSG appears self-centered??why does it bothers you or anyone,I fail to understand.

KSG is a human and noone is perfect!!We all have our share of good and bad aspects and so is KSG.I think we should not call him self-centered just by a few statements.He might appear to be self-centered and I think today everyone thinks about himself before others.KSG has full right to speak what he feels and he uses his freedom of speech nicely.His answers are honest and never ever diplomaticTthis is the best thing about him.

Rather than being self-centered,I find KSG honest and carefree person.He is a man who is on TV for 2 things-work and fame.He hardly cares about what others talk or think about him.He does what he feels is right for him.He is only concerned about his family,friends and fans.He loves his fans a lot.

As Vicky rightly said,KSG is a very COMPLICATED person. The more you try to understand him,the more confused you are.

He is an enigma and it's really hard to understand his behaviour and attitude by a few interviews😆

I've seen KSG since past 6 years and 1 thing I know about him.He is a very straight forward person.He believes in saying things on face rather than back-biting.

If he does not appreciate something,he can say it in a crowd of millions which I believe can be done very few people in this world.

I'm proud to be his fan.Today,his interview proved that he is a man who can't stand injustice.He had an award in his hand and rightly he should have praised the jury coz jury selected him for that award but he didn't do that. This is because he felt that the awards given were not fair and so,instead of being acting diplomatic with a fake smile(as he himself said in the beginning of his interview) he chose to speak the truth.He said it in general for award shows.He was not saying that he should have won.He talked about favouritism to channels or PH which is quite usually seen in the awards and is much evident in this ITA.

KSG has been very kind and loyal to his fans. He is aware about the popularity of all the actors.By his statement, he was hinting at jury and not at the voters because we all are aware that the awards that were given were not based on public voting solely.

I respect your opinion and really loved the way you have put across your point.

In the end,it's ur choice to like an actor or not.KSG is an outstanding actor and I think he deserves all the appreciations for that.

We all have the right to express ourselves and so does KSG.

Regarding comparisons,KSG is not at all fond of it and personally,I also hate it when people compare me with someone else.It hardly makes him appear self-centered.

I wonder why everyone is bashing him for that.I'm so glad that he voiced the opinions of his fans..

Anyways,I enjoyed reading ur post as you have put across your points in a very nice manner.

I wished to write my views on KSG using ur thread coz I've been too much irritated to see few people bashing KSG at other forums and ITA discussion thread for his statement.

Seriously,I don't understand why people wish to interfere in an actor's personal life soo much.how would they feel if someone keeps an eye on them 24*7 and makes a huge issue out of nothing for a single statement..

Again,I would say that I really appreciate this thread and am loving the discussions over here.

It's just that when things come to KSG,I just loose control when I start typing.😆Sorry if I've hurt u or anyone unintentionally.

Keep writing!

Take care!





asma u said it out perfectly here & i hv nothing 2 add👏

Mods I am not sure if I am allowed to make such a topic but I merely wanted to express my opinion and I am not bashing him so please dont shut it down.
So before you all go nuts hear me out. And no I am not from some other forum coming here to bash or whatever KSG. I come here regularly and write for QB too.
Getting back to the point. I have watched some of Karan's SBS/SBB interviews and I really get the feeling that he is self-centered sort of individual. The other day when asad-zoya was bein compared to Shahrukh and Kajol he freaked out and said all these thins. Basically implying that he was in a league of his own so dont compare him to Shahrukh. Okay some people dont like comparisons but there was no need to take it so personally. Like dude calm down. That interview in itself made me think he was kinda self-centered. It was supposed to be a compliment not an insult and even if you feel insulted calm down...the reasons he felt insulted seemed self centered.

And then I just read the update for today's interview. He didn't win best actor so he is angry. But this is life man, you don't always win. Learn to accept defeat gracefully, that is the sign of a good matured individual. What he said about the voters was uncalled for. He said "if so you are not fit to be in the jury," but Karan there is no "jury" in the sense that this isn't life and death. It is a voters choice thing and usually whoever is the most popular will win. If voters want to vote for a production house, then fine it doesnt reflect the true talent, but that is the voters choice. You do not get to insult the voters. Then again remember that these same voters have to vote next year and because you said such things...they may not like you as much.
You lost, why be a sore loser? Did you consider even the remote possibility that maybe there might have been someone better that is why they won rather than automatically assuming voters voted to support PH and their favorite shows rather than talent. Which may be the case but the fact that he didnt even think twice...that says a lot about him. Maybe he is just that confident but according to me that seems borderline over-confidence...too much emphasis on the SELF.
Anyways, these interviews just made me think he is not exactly the kind of person I would hang out with since he seems to self absorbed.

Regardless, I am not a Karan diwani or any actor diwaani. I do not follow actors lives closely or even remotely. I occasionally might watch SBS and catch an interview, but I honestly just watch the tv show. I like Asad, and I think Karan is an amazing actor yes. I do believe his acting is AMAZNG, but in his personal life I may not like him that much considering he doesnt seem to have humility.


Do you get what I am trying to say? Do you agree and if you dont can you explain why not. I would like to believe there is an alternate explanation then my theory, but right now I don't. Btw, I dont think anyone will agree with me for what its worth, since I already browsed through the forum and everyone just gives excuses for his behavior or condones it and says shahbash mere sheer type thing.





well,if u r talking about interviews.he himself said in an interview that he is very complicated.i will say he is very frank.every body wants to win and if he doesn't win and he shows his displeasure with decency that does not make him selfcentered.we in the forum always talks about what we want in the show make assumptions,predictions,criticise,appreciate acc. to what we feel or wish.if certain thing doesnt happen acc. to us,we become hyper and thats truth.if these things dont make us selfcentered then ksg also can not be called as selfcentered.

i think he was not just talking about himself but about ITA as whole.
i appreciate him for honesty and for having such guts.

and one thing it was SBS also which tried to put mirchi tadka ... it was they only who kept saying that KSG is angry for not winning, he himself never said that neither he took anyone's name ... and even when jenny said thank you, they insisted KSG to talk ...

but awards were highly biased, anyone can say that.

this is not first time anyone is talking about awards being biased, aamir khan has also said it couple of times and he never even attends any award function ...

and even in cricket we see bad umpiring many times and wrong decisions but few of cricketers do speak about it

Well if he has said it himself that he is self centered then fine. So then I must have been right??
I didnt know he had said that in an interview...I hvnt watched all of his interviews...just a couple.

But seriously I think you all have convinced me that he is an amazing actor and just stick to that. And you convinced me that based on 2 interviews I shouldn't judge him (but I hadnt yet judged him and still havent...I got a feeling and was wondering if it was right thus I made this thread hoping someone will be able to sway me away from what I felt about him...Its not like I like to dislike an actor. I want to respect the actors who plays someone really like).

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">What you call 'self-centered' and 'over-confidence', I call it having the guts to speak up for what's right! It's easy for us to say all this, but if you try to put yourself in the actor's shoes then you'll realise that whatever he said was completely called for and in all honesty I'm glad he voiced his opinion for what he felt was wrong and completely unfair! I mean what is the point of having awards when they're all going to be fixed, what is the point of asking fans to spend their time voting when their votes aren't even gonna get counted :S

If there is any actor on TV atm who is giving his best shot for each and every scene, who puts his heart and soul into performing every scene with perfection it's KSG and I'm not just saying this because I'm his fan, but it's true even a blind person can tell who deserved that award, yet he still didn't get it thanks to biased voters who just seem to be sucking up to the channels and sponsors, his hurt is obvious and I can completely understand his plight. Not everyone has the guts to speak the truth and most actors take the easy way out by being all diplomatic, only a few are confident enough to be man and speak what's on their mind, no matter what the situation is and I truly respect him for his honesty. We're all human beings at the end of the day and we all get hurt when we really deserve something but still don't get it, so IMO his reaction was completely understandable :)

PS - I don't know anything about the SRK-Kajol comparison so I'll not comment on that.

I agree with u!

Hey Nisha,

I completely agree with you from thw first to the last word that you said. Your opinions about the interview on comparison with srk and kajol and also the ITA awards exactly mirrorred mine.

And I would like to add that...so what if you were compared to srk? You were not being compared to a toilet cleaner or something like that. You should be happy. And okay agreed you want to be doing something new and not a mere shadow of someone else but...sheesh...wo apne aap ko samajta kya hai? Its not that I dont like his acting. I do. lots. He is my favorite tv star. doesnt mean that I will blindly be all ooo and ahhh about him and ignore his self centeredness. He seems very full of himself in some other interviews as well. Isse behtar to kayi bollywood ke actors hai. And offscreen personality definitely affects your fame, not only on screen acting.

Now I know almost everyone here will either throw chappal at me. But seriously, passing it off as 'COMPLICATED AND TRICKY'. Really? How do you know. And well why the use of these words to defend him. Reality is in front of your eyes. If he isnt happy, by announcing it, he just threw away some votes from potential voters in the future. I voted this time. Next time. ..I dont think so.

Yes I dont know anythng about his past. I dont keep up with the personal life of actors.
Clearly I was wrong about Karan being like that.
So he was poor apparently...if what you say is right and slept on railway station.
So I will edit that comment out. But I wasnt saying that Karan is rich. I was saying I know guys who are rich and attractive and its gone to their head.
Plus it could have gone to his head now that he is rich and famous. Could being the word...dont know if it has.


if you think thing got over his head then talk to his fans who met him resently they wil he is most humble person and whats wrong in wanting to win an award when we our 100% getting ill and hurt, then also giving perfect scene.
