Karan Konfusion!
The TV industry has as many as seven Karans... not counting one-show-old Karan Johar

When William Shakespeare said what's in a name, he didn't know the confusion that names can cause in a small world like our TV industry. With Karan Grover, Karan Singh Grover, Karan Mehra, Karan Oberoi, Karan Wahi, Karan Patel and Karan Kapur, the industry seems to be having an overdose of this name. While Karan Kapur became Caran, Karan Singh Grover took out the Singh and became Karan Grover. So, now there are two people with the same name. Luckily for them, neither is more popular than the other. Therefore, cases of mistaken identity are few and far in between.
So, what do the 'Karans' have to say about this? Karan Oberoi, who's also a singer, says, "Speaking for myself, I am saved of all the confusion because I am also a singer and I have done only four shows on TV." Though few actors are willing to acknowledge there is a lot of confusion about the actors' identities, especially when event organisers call one Karan thinking he is another. Karan Mehra says, "Karan happens to be one of the most popular names in our industry. Unfortunately, my poor friend Karan Wahi gets blamed for all the mischief I do. Not only the name Karan but the letter 'K' itself has come to be synonymous with our industry. Right from Ekta Kapoor's serials to Karan Johar's and Rakesh Roshan's movies."
For Karan Singh Grover, though he has a namesake within the industry there hasn't been any cause of trouble. "We both look very different and there hasn't been any confusion as of now," he says.
So, is there a solution to this name game? Karan Mehra seems to have one. "In my friends' circle, we call each other by surnames because there are at least four Karans among us," he says. And to add to it there is Karan Johar whose TV chat show took him into millions of homes worldwide. Well, it would be nice to have coffee with Karan, but which Karan is the question!
