While he’s a seasoned actor now and a fan favourite, Karan’s journey began all the way back in 2005 with the teen drama, Remix. From there, he climbed the ranks of Indian telly royalty. But did you know he’s been in loads of shows and films that often fly under the radar?

2. Surya – The Super Cop

Before crime thrillers became all the rage, Karan was already donning the badge in Surya – The Super Cop. As Inspector Rajhans, a dashing officer new to Mumbai’s homicide unit, Karan was every bit as clever, charming, and sharp as you’d expect.
