Life after Bigg Boss 18

During his Bigg Boss 18 win in January, Karan was presented with the prestigious shiny trophy and also won ₹50 lakh cash prize.

Calling his fans ‘fan-mily’, a twist to the word family to signify his closeness to them, the actor said that his life had changed a lot after walking out of Bigg Boss Season 18 as the winner.

“Life has changed a lot, to be honest. After Bigg Boss 18, I have an amazing fan-mily. I have got so much love and attention. The appreciation is too much. My fan-mily say it was like a personal win for them, and when they meet me, their energy makes me feel like part of their family. I really appreciate that,” he was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

Negativity-proof

He also opened up about the online hate he has received during his time at the reality show.

“I am negativity proof. I can't do anything about changing people's thoughts, but I work and keep fit. That makes me stable and positive,” he told the newspaper.

After his Bigg Boss 18 win, Karan, known for his roles in shows such as "Shanno Ki Shaadi", "Virrudh", "Amrit Manthan", "TV Biwi Aur Main" and “Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 14”, credited his family and fans for supporting him.
