Karan Tacker starred in the TV show Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai that aired from 2011 to 2013. Since then, a lot has been written about his alleged relationship with co-star Krystle D’souza. But Karan has refrained from commenting on it, always sticking to “we are good friends” statement. Ask him why he has shied away from talking about his personal life and he says, “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.”
The actor who’s been hosting reality shows on TV and even on an online streaming platform now, has been interested to do films. Reportedly, he was about to sign a film too.
Many actors from television have starred in erotic thrillers, does that interest him as well? He says, “I know many actors are doing erotic films and they (offers for such films) do come to me but I don’t see myself as an erotic guy (laughs). I’m not like that. Then there is also the matter of what you relate to or aspire to be. At the moment, the genre doesn’t fall into what I want to do. I do respect those films as they are so well-made. But I don’t want to venture into it. I’ve got film offers but I can’t talk about them for now.”
