Tejasswi Prakash gets candid

Recently, Karan and Tejasswi appeared on Angad Bedi and Neha Dhupia’s podcast, shared on YouTube, where they candidly opened up about their careers and their relationship. The couple also has an age gap of nearly nine years.

Looking back at his career, Karan revealed how one Facebook friend request completely changed his life. Karan said, “It was very adventurous. Jalandhar is a very small town compared to Mumbai and Delhi. In small towns, life is simple. We are 90s kids and were not exposed to much. The entry of internet changed it all. I was running a call centre and working with my dad. One day, I sent a friend request to Ekta Kapoor on Facebook in 2008, and she replied saying, ‘Come to Mumbai.’”

When asked about her life during the same period, Tejasswi laughed and said that she was in “school in 2008.” She admitted that acting was never part of her original plans until she unexpectedly gained popularity as a fresh face featured in newspapers. The attention eventually brought audition offers her way, opening the doors to the entertainment industry.

Talking about what she knew about Karan before meeting him, Tejasswi mentioned, “It’s funny because I had not watched any of his shows except Love School. I found Karan interesting, but he is completely opposite to the kind of guys I thought I would ever date. To begin with, I had never dated actors before. I don’t like dating at my workplace. I like being professional.”

More about their relationship

Tejasswi Prakash and Karan Kundrra have been dating since 2021. Karan and Tejasswi participated in Salman Khan's reality television show Bigg Boss 15. Their friendship on the show turned into love, and they became one of the most talked-about couples on the show, with fans calling them TejRan. Even after the show, the two have remained together.

Recently, fans got a glimpse into their relationship in the reality show Desi Bling. In the Netflix show, they had their share of fights and dramatic moments, sparking breakup rumours online. However, Karan put all speculation to rest after proposing to Tejasswi in a dreamy setup in Dubai in the last episode.

The actor went down on one knee and presented Tejasswi with a massive diamond ring before asking for her hand in marriage in Punjabi. “Tejasswi Prakash, will you marry me?” he asked. The Naagin actor was visibly overwhelmed by the surprise proposal. With tears in her eyes, she said, “I am shivering. My hands are not going to stop.” They have not yet announced when they plan to get married.
