Karan Singh Grover in two minds about signing Kasautii Zindagii Kay

There is bad news for fans who got really excited when they came to know that handsome hunk Karan Singh Grover was set to enter Ekta Kapoor’s popular show Kasautii Zindagii Kay to play the iconic character of Mr Bajaj.

If sources are to be believed, Karan Singh Grover is yet to sign the project on the dotted line. The actor is, reportedly, still unsure about making a comeback to television and that too with a show which does not feature him in the lead role.


Fans who devotedly follow television would know that Karan Singh Grover bid adieu to the medium in 2014 and made a crossover to films. In 2015, the actor debuted on the silver screen with horror flick Alone, which also starred his now wife, Bipasha Basu.

Alone was an average success at the box-office. Grover followed it up with T-Series’ Hate Story 3, which hit screens in 2017. Since then, the actor has not been seen in any project. He is still awaiting the release of his three films though.

Grover has also ventured into digital space and is awaiting the release of his two upcoming web-shows. “Karan is still in two minds and is contemplating whether to come back home to the tube or wait for his ALTBalaji web series, Boss, where he is the main lead. His other ALTBalaji web series, Judaai, is also stuck,” a source reveals to an entertainment portal.

Another source goes on to add, “Karan is not against doing TV per se, but would prefer a new show, centring around him.”

Author Chetan Bhagat says the obsession with fame is harming Bollywood actors' mental health

Highlights:

  • Bhagat says some stars can’t enjoy meals if not photographed.
  • Author calls Bollywood a “drug house of fame.”
  • He left movies to focus on writing and moved to Dubai.
  • Sees industry as insecure, with friendships mostly transactional.
  • Believes creating stories gives him more satisfaction than films.

Chetan Bhagat says fame in Bollywood can take a serious toll on mental health. The bestselling author, whose novels like 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che! became major films, explained that many actors and directors struggle when their work doesn’t succeed. “There are actors who, when going to a restaurant, if they aren’t recognised, don’t enjoy the meal. They wonder, ‘No one came to click photos?’ Can you imagine what a sick life that is?” he said.

Bhagat added that the pressure of attention and constant public scrutiny can worsen insecurity. He recalled seeing stars fade over time, their mental health affected by the highs and lows of fame.
