Karan Kundrra is currently the host of Splitsvilla X6. In the open discussion, the actors were inquired about the effects of sustaining relationships as public figures, with Karan disclosing that his romance with girlfriend Tejasswi Prakash is always being monitored.

In conversation with Pinkvilla, Karan said: “In our situation, regarding Teju (Tejasswi), everything we do—like lifting a hand, where we place it, and how we hold things—is analyzed closely.” (Even the way I lift my hand, where I position it, or how I embrace her is all examined closely.)

“The notion is that as long as Teju and I possess the maturity to remain unaffected by all of this, we will be okay. Hear me out, we decided to become actors, we opted to participate in a show like Bigg Boss, and we opted to put ourselves out there. Therefore, we shouldn't resent it. Hum hypocritical nahi ho sakte aur keh sakte hain, ki nahi yaar hume mat capture karo. (We cannot be hypocritical and tell people not to capture us). We are present; we are well-known individuals,” the actor stated.

He added, "Jaise aap jaante hain, Sunny aur Daniel ki ek niji zindagi hai. Although Sunny is present, they succeed in maintaining a high level of privacy. Main aur Teju yeh kar nahi sakte kyunki hum kahin bhi ja sakte hain. Hume kisi ke shadi ke samaaroh mein jana padega, ya kisi ki mehfil mein jana padega.”

(Similar to Sunny and Daniel, you see, they maintain a personal life. Although Sunny is quite visible, they succeed in maintaining their privacy. Teju and I aren't able to do that because, no matter where we go, we must go to a premiere or a party for someone.)

“Hum nahi keh rahe hain, jaise humein nahi chahiye. (We won't claim that we desire it.) We are performers, and we enjoy receiving affection from others, but indeed, there is a considerable amount of disdain that arises, a lot of criticism, and much judgment that follows. Main toh Hindustan mein red flags ka sabse bada maalik ban gaya hoon.” (I’ve nearly turned into the ‘father of red flags’ in India.)

Karan and Tejasswi have been together since Bigg Boss 15. The two were co-contestants in the show and are likely to tie the knot soon.
