Karan Kundrra is currently making headlines with his supernatural show, Tere Pyaar Mein Ghayal. But the actor has done some great work in the past with shows like Kitni Mohabbat Hai and Yeh Kaha Aa Gaye Hum to his credit. Did you know that Karan got his first big break in the most unconventional way? Scroll down to find out!
Usually, actors get their first break (especially with Ekta Kapoor) after waiting for hours and giving multiple auditioning. But all Karan Kundrra had to do was—send a friend request.
In 2008, the actor sent Ekta Kapoor a friend request on Facebook from Chandigarh. He then sent an audition clip to her on Facebook messenger. Ekta thought he was handsome and sent his picture to her creative team. While the team wasn’t a big fan of Karan’s acting, they thought his smile would win hearts. This is how he got his first show, Kitni Mohabbat Hai, in 2009. What luck!
Karan Kundrra On His Struggles
While most actors have had to struggle to even get the smallest role, Karan accepts that he has been very lucky.
In an interview, he said, “When it comes to my profession, I am lucky that I never had to struggle in life. But I don’t consider acting as my profession but passion. Professionally, I am more involved in my dad’s business. But I draw creative satisfaction from acting and I shall never stop entertaining my fans. Acting is an essential and precious part of my life, and I consider myself lucky to be known as an actor.”
Television would not be the same without Karan Kundrra, and we’re glad he decided to send that one friend request!
