Actor Karan Kundrra found himself in a tricky situation when his name and photograph was used instead of businessman Raj Kundra, who has been arrested in connection with an alleged pornography case. He says the mistake was frustrating.

‘Karan Kundrra arrested for making porn films’ — this is the headline he woke up to recently and since then, has been wondering about its implications. “Not just my picture, some also used my name. When I woke up and opened my Twitter, I realised a lot of people had thought it was me who was caught in the controversy, and were tweeting about it while tagging me. It took me a while to figure out what had actually happened, and that it was Raj Kundra,”

Karan shares. Recalling his ordeal, the 36-year-old feels that although he can’t blame anyone for the goof-up, he can’t shrug off the impact it can have on his career. “So many people have read it. If anyone doesn’t read the updated news, they would think it was me for the rest of their lives,” rues the actor.

The Dil Hi Toh Hai star says, being in showbiz, he has to be careful about the light in which he is depicted in the public eye. He feels the mistake will live on in this Google era.
