Karan Tacker: The day I get married, I will talk about it

Karan Tacker’s rumoured relationship with television star Krystle D’Souza has always been in the limelight. When a leading Indian daily asked Karan Tacker about what makes him to stay tight lipped about his relationship status, he said, "I am a shy guy. I also hold a lot of respect for the personal part of my life. I want that to remain personal. As for relationships, they are very fragile and every time you get into one, you don’t want to talk about it because you don’t know how long it will last. You don’t want to paint yourself or someone else in a certain way. Moreover, what usually happens is that the entire fulcrum of any conversation (in the media) becomes about the relationship. I don’t want that. I want my work to be the focus. The day I get married, I will talk about it. Until then, I am as single as single can be."

It’s been four years that Karan has not worked in television. Talking about the same, Karan had earlier said, "Yes. I miss acting, but with digital avenues opening up, you might see me acting soon. However, I haven’t heard something that I want to be a part of. I stay relevant by doing acting workshops. Being a host involves acting. Every show has a different target audience, and as a host, you have to give them with what appeals to them. For my online show, which caters to a younger audience, I had to work on my language and use words that they do. In my other shows, I try to be a bit formal. You have to keep the audience engaged while sticking to your lines. If people think hosting is easy, let me tell you: it is not."
