Karan Wahi, known for his memorable roles on television over the years, recently participated in a podcast with Paras Chhabra. During the conversation, he shared insights into both his personal and professional life.
Embracing Vegetarianism and Spirituality
Karan revealed that he has adopted a vegetarian diet as part of his spiritual journey. He credited spiritual figures such as Neem Karoli Baba and Premanand Maharaj for influencing this transformation. “I never thought in my life that I would become a vegetarian, but now, after wearing the Kanthi mala, everything feels very peaceful,” he said.
Health Struggles and Healing
The actor also opened up about his battle with a severe skin condition. He described the ordeal: “My body started drying from the inside; half of my body would become dry. When I scratched, my skin would tear and bleed. When I woke up in the morning and looked at the bedsheet, it was red with bloodstains. Seeing it, I would get scared.”
Karan shared that a random suggestion in Delhi four to five months ago led him to spirituality. “Someone randomly told me that I get very angry, and that I should stay calm and wear a tulsi mala. I never had such a thought. It’s not that I am not spiritual, but over time, I had drifted away from spirituality for whatever reason. But I don’t know… the last four to five months have been beautiful. Somehow, I found myself wondering how I could get a tulsi mala from Vrindavan,” he explained.
The Power of Naam Jaap
He further mentioned the calming effect of spiritual practices. “One thing led to another, but whenever I find time, whenever I’m distracted, or whenever I begin to think something negative, this thought comes to my mind—that when you are doing naam jaap, you are doing something good, and it also helps you forget all your stress and worries.”
Karan also made headlines recently after he refuted rumors of quitting acting amid his spiritual journey. He took to his Instagram handle to confirm that he has not quit his acting career. On the work front, he is beloved for his performances in shows like Dill Mill Gaye, Khatron Ke Khiladi, and more.
