Karan Kundrra is enjoying hosting the dance reality show Dance Deewane Juniors. The Kitani Mohabbat Hai actor shares, “I am hosting a full-fledged show for a proper GEC (General Entertainment Channel) for the first time. Hosting ki meri journey shuru hui thi Gumrah End Of Innocence show se. Since this is a children’s reality show, the sensibilities are different. Bachche bahut sensitive hote hain. Hosting a show with kids is definitely a lot of fun but at the same time kids, especially younger ones, do not know how to react on stage, in case they have won or lost.

Ask Karan if he likes anchoring more or acting and pat comes the reply, “It is like asking a father to choose between his two kids. You can't! Hosting is a great challenge for me and I like competing with myself.”

He adds, “I want to grow bigger career wise. Abhi tak response bahut achha hai but if you ask me that kya main isko apni rozi-roti banaunga then I don’t think so. If you tell me to leave films and start only hosting shows that can’t happen.”

The Bigg Boss Season 15 contestant says he has changed a lot post the reality show. “I think now I am calmer about my life post-Bigg Boss. What happens in a format like Bigg Boss is that whatever decisions you take in a show like that are very pure as there is no outside influence. So you get to know that actually mein mujhe kya chahiye. You learn a lot about your ethics, principles, what kind of people you like, what kind of friends should one have – a lot of such things about yourself you come to know. So when you come out of the show, you are more sure of yourself,” he says, adding, “Also, I don’t repent doing anything that I shouldn’t have done inside the Bigg Boss house. In fact, maine apni zindagi mein kuchh repent nahi kiya. Yes, about the mistakes that I have made, I have either been unapologetic about them or extremely apologetic about them.”

Talking about the recently blossomed love in his life, Karan, who is in a relationship with actress Tejasswi Prakash, says, “We don’t hide anything. We are taking it slowly. As far as marriage is concerned, madam ke pass time kahan hai. (laughs). Har interview mein woh mere upar phenk deti hai and now I will be putting it on to her. The funny part is that our parents meet each other more than us as they have more time. But we are going with the natural progression as of now.”
