Karan Kundrra opens up about ‘public scrutiny’ of his relationship with Tejasswi Prakash, says ‘we can't complain’

Actor Karan Kundrra recently spoke about the public scrutiny around his relations with actor Tejasswi Prakash. He addressed how being in the public eye has made even the smallest aspects of their relationship a topic of discussion, judgment, and speculation.

Karan Kundrra candidly spoke about public scrutiny

In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Karan Kundrra was joined by Sunny Leone for the conversation. Karan said, “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." (Like if I even raise my hand, where I place it, or how I hold her, everything gets scrutinised.)

Karan Kundrra says he has no complaints

“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. We cannot be hypocritical and say, ki nahi yaar mat capture karo. (…saying, ‘No, don’t capture us.’) We are there; we are public figures," he explained.

Karan Kundrra on being labeled a red flag

Karan further added that while love from fans is rewarding, public judgment becomes inevitable. “We are not gonna say, jaise humko nahi chahiye. (We are not going to say that we don’t want it.) 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. Main toh like red flags ka baap hi ban chuka hoon Hindustan mein."


Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash have been dating since 2021, after their relationship blossomed on reality show ‘Bigg Boss 15.’
