Regretting about being absent during his tough times, Karan stated, “Mujhe sirf is baat ka afsos hai ki main uske tough time mein uske saath nahi tha. Humein pata bhi nahi tha ki woh kya feel kar raha tha. Lekin woh hamesha mere low moments mein mujhe sambhalta tha. Jaise makkhan mein se baal nikalte hain, waisi simplicity aur pyaar se. Mere aise moments the jab mujhe lagta tha ki mujhe give up kar dena chahiye, lekin usne mujhe bahut encourage kiya.”

Praising the Kai Po Che actor, Karan shared, “Toh bolta tha ki ‘Main tujhse better actor dhundh ke launga’. Yeh baat dil se bolta tha aur mujhe hamesha shock hota tha, kyunki woh apne time ka top Bollywood star tha. Main uski journey dekh ke inspire hota tha aur woh phir bhi meri tareef karta tha. It was a big deal for me, aur usne mujhe bahut motivate kiya. Uske saath bitaya har moment gold jaisa tha. Mere phone mein 700 photos hain, jisme se 300-400 uski ya hum dono ki hongi. Humne saath mein bahut maza kiya that.”
