its nt realy an interview it jus some info bout karan
Karan Singh is numerology's latest victim."My real name is actually Karan Singh Grover.But I never used Grover earlier.I've made the change for numerological reasons. It comes to a better number."is his explanation
Landing in Dill...is quite a bonus.i went for an audition,a look test and got the role.And the going's great.I play Dr.Armaan Malik.It's fun because I play a character very close to myself,and someone who's my age too.Armaan is naughty and full of life.Also,it's a different show.I'm not saying family dramas are boring,but they are not something I can relate to myself,It's not the usual saas-bahu stuff;it's a youth oriented show about doctors.There is drama,but it's very profession related,not home related.Plus working here,in such a positive environment,helps immensely.There's no bickering,everyone gets along,and there are no insecurities.The story line may be quite cliched at times,but,still,it is shot differently.We dont have cheat shots,nor do we use duplicates.I'm quite involved in the creative side too.I read scripts beforehand,check the screenplay out,and even try and attend the creative meetings.I've never done all this for any othr show in my life,"he reveals.
He had to make a lot of changes for this show, like dropping out of his previous projects to concentrate solely on this."
Before I got Dill...I was doing Solah Singaarr and I even did Parivar on Zee for a weekThen I left both for Dill...Star and Cinevistaas needed an exclusivity contract.I didnt have a choice."
Was you disappointed with the way the show Solah Singaarr eventually turned out ?
"I was disappointed by the change of the story actually.It turned out okay;the show is doing quite well.I liked the whole initial bit,when the story dealt with widow remarriage.That was a touchy subject.But after that something went wrong and more characters were brought in.I preferred the initial story anyday."
Wasn't he supposed to go back to working with Balaji with a very big show?
"Yes,that's true.I was playing the lead in Khwaish.To be precise, I was t play Sumeet Sachdev's younger brother.Sumeet's character eventually dies,and I was going to take over after that.That's why I was to shift to Dubai as well.We even shot for it,some of the shaadi sequences here.But the dates didnt work out,and then my passport was taking too long to get renewed.It had expired,and by the time I managed to renew it,it was a little late.Also they needed 25 days in Dubai,which I couldn't give,because that time I was doing Solah Singaarralso.15 days is all I had in hand.Initially,Balaji was okay with it,but then the passpost problem added to the confusion.They got stuck and had to find somebody else."
He's open to any new work that comes along the way.
"My shecule may be tight,but anything can be worked out.Work is work,and is always welcome!"
He's finally moved on from his painful break up with Barkha Bisht and has found love with Shraddha Nigam.A year ago,Karan had become quite a Devdas. Today he's happy and raring to go."Nobody stays depressed for so long in life generally.I've moved on,both personally and professionally."
He elaborates,"I've only started seeing Shraddha since about 6 months now. We used to keep bumping into each othet because of common friends.We mest properly at an after-party for an awards function.I remember it was the 31st March.Dates are not something I'm forced to remember;I just tend to remember dates,clothes,colours,scenes and dialogues.I even remember my dialogues from Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi.I can't help it.'
He goes on," So yeah,I met her at the party,where we partied for a bit.And then she didn't want to go home and I didnt want to go home either.So we sat at the J.W.Marriott all night,talking.It was the first time I spoke to someone for so long.I spoke to Shraddha from 1 o'clock in the night to 8 o'clock in the morning at the coffee shop.We were talking about anything an d everything in life,any nonsense.That's how it started."
How different is this relationship from the one he had with Barkha?"Very different!I'm also at a place in my life where I'm a little sorted in my head.And she's(Shraddha) been in this industry and in this world much before me.She's a little older than me.And she's very mature and balanced.That's the kind of person I needed actually.We connect at all levels. There are things which she doesnt even have to say and I just know."
He adds,"Sometimes you dont have this kind of relationship with your spouse.Sometimes you might have it with your best friend.With Shraddha,it's like that.The kind of connection I have with my best friends from college,whom I've known for some nine years now,I have with Shraddha in six months.It's very strange actually;nice but strange."
Karan doesnt wish to spoil things by dwelling too much on the future."I'm not thinking about the future and neither is she.We'd rather take it one day at atime.I've decided not to think so much anymore.I'm not thinking;she's not thinking;we're both just doing our respective work and we're happy that way."
But why so many denials initially?"I dont deny anything in life.But she was a little apprehensiveat first.Maybe she was worried because I've always been linked with so many women.Or perhaps she didn't want her parents to know.i really don't know.Women are always a bit antsy in the beginning.So I played along.She didn't want to tell anyone,so I didnt tell a soul." They dont know where to go from here."We really dont know.And my motto in life now is to not think at all.I dont think about tomorow.After all that I've been through in these 25 years of life, I realize that if you're really happy right now,then you'll be happy tomorrow as well.Just concentrate on now;tomorrow doesnt matter.What's the point of planning,when it might not work out?It just gets upsetting."
Now Shraddha is totally comfortable with Karan talking about their relationship."Now,I've interacted a lot with her parents.I keep going to her house for dinner quite often.Her mom and dad are also a little more comfortable with me now.Basically, she's totally cool with the fact that we're together."
Karan's new resolution-"Whatever you have right now,just give it your 140%,the rest will happen when it has to." 2 of his films,Magna Films' Bhram-An Illusion and Saurabh Shukla's I Think I Am 24
