Karan Patel, who is known for his amazing work on television and his angry young man characters, is still hailed as the Salman Khan of TV. People on television know him for his habit of arriving late for morning shoots and whatnot. Recently, Karan appeared on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Lambhachiyaa’s podcast, wherein he revealed how he is not getting any offers from television.
Karan Patel revealed how he is out of work on television
Karan Patel has a massive audience who still hope to see him on Colors or Star Plus like in the good old days. However, in a hearty conversation with Bharti Singh, he was questioned whether he wasn’t getting any work on television. To which, Karan quickly stated that nothing is being made on television. He said:
“Nai, TV ban hi kaha raha hai. Aur waise bhi ban bhi raha hai toh aata toh nahi. Pata nahi mere hisab se aisa hai ki roj 200 actors paida ho rahe hai toh vo jo hai unka budget jo hoga vo 10 percent hoga. Hum 90 percent bhari padte hoge. Toh wahi, safedi wahi hai agra kam daam mein mile toh koi vo kyo na le.”
Further, Bharti asked Karan when he would be making his comeback on television. He jokingly asked her why she only wanted to see him on TV. Bharti instantly rephrased her question and asked him when he would be signing a show for Colors or Star Plus. She said, “Humari mummiya marr rahi hai apko dekhne ke liye.” Karan said:
“Yahi cheej toh Star Plus or Colors walo ko kyo nahi bolti. Mai toh ghar hi baitha hoon.”
Karan also expressed his wish to play a negative role. He stated that there is a lot of scope in the performance if you are playing a negative character. There is no character sketch for a villain. Also, in today’s world, everyone wants to be a hero, so he would love to be a villain.
When Karan Patel talked about the darkest phase of his life
Earlier, in a conversation with Pinkvilla, Karan Patel talked about the darkest phase of his life. The actor revealed that his serial, Kasturi was shut down due to him as he thought of himself as a ‘big person’ and a ‘superstar’. Soon, his attitude came in the way of his work, and the show got shelved. Mentioning that he didn’t get work for more than 2 years, Karan said that people didn’t want to work with him because of his behaviour. In his words:
“It has been the darkest phase of my life. Kasturi had shut for a reason and the reason was me. Not many people know about this, but I was erratic during that phase. I thought I was too big for my boots. I was a superstar. I thought mere bina show chalega nahi only to have the show shut. For around two and a half or three years, I was out of work. People thought that I was on a break but I was not; people didn’t want to offer me work because of what I’d done.”
