EXCLUSIVE: Karan Patel admits success ‘went to his head’, says, ‘Had no work because I didn’t suit the professionalism’

Karan Patel is one of the most popular actors in the industry. In our latest episode of ‘Let’s Talk With Bollywood Bubble’, Karan spoke about his journey, being called the Shah Rukh Khan of TV industry, success and more. Speaking of the latter, Karan shared how success went to his head and put him in bad professional light.

Over the years, Karan has starred in TV shows such as Kasturi, Kasamh Se, and Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. He is one of the most successful actors in the industry.

Karan recalls he took success for granted

Recalling the time when success went to his head, Karan said, “I lost my head. It happens. Initially, not everybody can fathom or digest the kind of success that one gets very easily. For me also it happened for the short span though. But yes, I probably started flying too high than I should have and didn’t realise till I fell down, till I fell flat.”

Karan added, “I realized it when Kasturi shut and for about couple of years I had no work. And only to realize that there is no work not because I don’t suit the role but because I don’t suit the professionalism that people expect from me. So, that was something I had to work on.”

The actor continued, “I had three years to sit back and retrospect because it took a long time for probably someone to come back and take that chance or give me a helping hand and say that ‘No worry, you f***ed up. Come one, we will try working on you again’.” Karan further mentioned that the person who helped him was Ektaa Kapoor, with whom he shares a good bond.
