As it is, I feel all such shows are ultimately the same – wahi ek type ki judging and wahi ek type ke contestants, whether they are celebs or the general public,”

In an interview, Karan expressed his opinion of the character that he plays on the show Udaariyaan and said,
  

  Ravi and Sargun are not only dear friends but also very enterprising individuals. So as an actor, if you get an opportunity to collaborate with your friends and create something together, you must not let go of that opportunity. I feel lucky to be a part of their maiden show ‘Udaariyan,’ and take this beautiful journey ahead. When it comes to my role, Angad is a complex yet dynamic and fun character. I think his presence in ‘Udaariyaan’ will create a new layer in the show’s plot that will surely bring in a dichotomy for the audiences to enjoy. I’m grateful to COLORS for giving me this wonderful opportunity as this is my first show with them, and it couldn’t have been anything better.”

  What’s the need of doing films when I’m getting to do such great work on TV? TV is offering me so much variety. Films, on the other hand, are a bigger medium undoubtedly, but I’m not being offered anything interesting, so I’m happy being a TV actor. The only thing that I have missed out is doing fullfledged comedy. But my current show is giving me that also, so no complaints. Thankfully, TV has a very wide scope now. You no longer see those same saas-bahu sagas on TV. There’s a lot of variety which satisfies the actor in me,”
