Karan Kundra rose to fame with Ekta Kapoor's soap opera Kitni Mohabbat hai opposite his former girlfriend Kritika Kamra. He portrayed a romantic character in the series. He became the heartthrob of small screen soon after doing Kitni Mohabbat Hai, people loved his unadulterated acting abilities and his unbeatable charms swept the girls off their feet. 

On being asked whether acting was always his first choice, the actor said, "No, it happened to me accidentally. I come from an academic family, both my sisters are doctors and I was gearing for an MBA when one day I got a call from Ekta asking me to come to Mumbai. Considering it a hoax, I declined the offer twice but then one day I finally decided to go and see the matter and then it was clear and I became an actor."

Karan, who was recently seen as one of the judges in the reality show Roadies along with Actor Neha Dhupia and Ranvijay Singh said that he is not keen on doing any fiction shows like Kitni Mohabbat Hai, "I am eyeing on bigger projects as I am doing a lot of movies and I am really looking forward to them," the Jalandhar-born actor said.

Their PDA's and fun banter on the social networking sites often grab headlines. On being asked if he is getting married anytime soon, the actor replied with a wide smile on his face, "Marriage is definitely on the cards but it is not happening anytime soon. I have a lot of work to do and moreover, I am too young for marriage, I am in my early thirties. Marriage can definitely wait," the actor winked.
