Karan Tacker: Won’t stop doing television shows even after getting into films

Actor Karan Tacker, who is rumoured to be a part of the sequel to the film Student Of the Year (2012), says that whatever he is today is because of the TV industry.

Karan Tacker is one of the most well-known actors on Indian television. After making a name for himself in the television industry with shows such as Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna and Rang Badalti Odhani, he is now rumoured to have bagged a major role in the sequel to the film Student Of the Year, which stars actor Tiger Shroff in the lead. Refusing to confirm or deny the rumour, he says, “ [Acting in] films is definitely what I am looking at doing next. But I can’t talk about the film right now.”

Actor Karan Tacker is rumoured to be a part of the upcoming film Student of the Year 2.

There have been so many people who have successfully transitioned from television to films — actors Sushant Singh Rajput and Shah Rukh Khan being the biggest examples.

This has in turn given rise to the popular notion that people quit TV after getting a chance in Bollywood. But Karan doesn’t have any such ideas. “TV will definitely not take a backseat. It has made me what I am today — someone who can even aspire to be in films. I will always be open to doing a lot of work here (for televsion),” he says.

“I have never understood the logic that you need to choose any particular medium to work. The entertainment industry is like a big tree, and everything is just a part of that. An actor should be comfortable working anywhere — it all depends on the kind of work you get,” says the 31-year old actor.
