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."

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
