In a recent candid conversation, actor Karan Kundrra has opened up about the relentless public scrutiny that surrounds his relationship with fellow actor Tejasswi Prakash. The actor, known for his roles in television and reality shows, spoke frankly about how being in the public eye has transformed even the most mundane aspects of their personal life into subjects of intense discussion, judgment, and widespread speculation.
Every Gesture Under the Microscope
During a recent chat with Pinkvilla, where he was joined by Sunny Leone, Karan Kundrra revealed the extent of this scrutiny. He explained, "In Teju's (Tejasswi's) and my case, everything we do, jaise haath bhi uthaya toh, ya kahan rakha, aur kaise pakda, yeh sab scrutinize hota hai." This translates to how even simple actions like raising a hand, where it's placed, or how they hold each other become meticulously analyzed by the public and media alike.
Choosing Public Life Comes with Consequences
Karan emphasized that he and Tejasswi have consciously chosen this path. "The idea is that as long as Teju and I have the maturity to not get affected by all of this, then we are fine. Listen, we chose to be actors, we chose to do a show like Bigg Boss, and we chose to be out there. So we cannot complain about it," he stated firmly.
He further elaborated on the inherent contradiction some public figures face, saying, "We cannot be hypocritical and say, ki nahi yaar mat capture karo. We are there; we are public figures." This acknowledgment highlights the acceptance that comes with their celebrity status, where privacy often becomes a luxury.
The Double-Edged Sword of Fame
Karan Kundrra also touched upon the dual nature of public attention. While expressing gratitude for the love and support from fans, he didn't shy away from addressing the negative aspects. "We are not gonna say, jaise humko nahi chahiye. We are actors, and we love getting love from people, but yes, there is a lot of hate that comes, a lot of scrutiny, and a lot of judgment that comes," he shared.
In a lighter vein, he added, "Main toh like red flags ka baap hi ban chuka hoon Hindustan mein," referring to how he's often labeled negatively in public discourse, showcasing his ability to maintain humor despite the criticism.
A Relationship Born in the Public Eye
It's worth noting that Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash's relationship has been under the spotlight since its inception. The couple began dating in 2021 after their bond blossomed on the popular reality show 'Bigg Boss 15'. Their journey from co-contestants to partners has been closely followed by fans and media, making their relationship a constant topic of interest.
This transparency from Karan offers a rare glimpse into the challenges faced by celebrities in maintaining personal relationships amidst constant public observation. It underscores the delicate balance between enjoying professional success and navigating personal life under relentless scrutiny.
