Karan Tacker rings in his 34th birthday in lockdown

Indian television heartthrob Karan Tacker, who is presently basking in the huge success of his debut webseries Special OPS, rings in his 34th birthday today. The actor is delighted to be at home and spending his special day with his mother.

“Festivals and occasional days are always with family as they are the most special people in my life. I will surely miss meeting my friends on my birthday, this year. Looking back, there is so much to be thankful for this year with my web-show doing so well and people appreciating my work. It is a happy feeling,” says the actor.

Karan is a fitness freak. He cannot miss his work outs no matter what. The actor has been working out regularly even during the lockdown. “When the lockdown started, it was all about making the most of the time that I had on hand, and I have been helping out at home but every week has its own challenges. Working out in my building compound has been working for me, and I finish my work out early in the morning and evening. We get veggies in our building and no one needs to go out and we have a huge parking space, which is where I run. We are allowed to run inside the building.

However, the actor is missing boxing as he used to love doing it. “This phase has taught us all to be minimalistic. Like I have learnt how to train with one bar. Once we go back to being normal, a lot of gyms are going to shut down as they won’t be able to survive the economy. That breaks my heart. Gyms are tough to turn around as the rents and equipment are expensive,” concludes the actor.

Saif Ali Khan has spoken about stepping away from wedding performances, saying the mix of wealth, access and social circles makes him uncomfortable. The actor said in a recent interview that the shift began years ago, after a relative questioned why he was dancing at a private event.

Saif Ali Khan remembered being backstage in Mumbai when his father’s sister walked up and said she could not believe he was dancing at a wedding. The remark stung, and it stayed with him. He said that some actors see themselves as entertainers and are happy to turn up, take the fee and move on. However, he has stopped feeling that way.
