So I decided to quit it. I told its producer Asit Modi about my predicament and he thankfully understood it. Hence, they decided to kill my character.

In an interview, Asit Modi said, "No one can tell me their priorities. I will not compromise with my story. If the story demands than Karan will have to come back to the show. We can bring him back” He added, "My story is strong and people are not going to stop watching the show just because Karan is not a part of the show anymore.

  I can’t participate in reality shows. They become boring after some time. I did Nach Baliye only after a lot of persuasion. And in between, I lost all interest and by the end of it, I was just trudging along. So, no reality shows for me – ever. 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,”

Ravi had a word with Karan and asked the latter if he wanted to join the show as Angad. Karan agreed to do the part. 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,”
