Karan Khanna to enter Dangal’s Nath Zewar Ya Zanjeer as Adhiraj

Karan Khanna who was seen in serials- Amma Ke Babu Ki Beti , Ishqbaaz , Divya Drishti will be seen as Adhiraaj in Dangal TV show, Nath- Zewar Ya Zanjeer. He shares, “I play Adhiraj, who is a doctor. It’s a grey character, who feels that his actions are justified.”

The actor is mostly remembered for his mean avatar in TV shows. Does he enjoy it more? “Honestly, I don’t worry about the shade of my character. Starting se mujhe jo milte gaya main leta gaya. Work is work. I call Ishqbaaaz my biggest break, in which I played a negative character and in Amma..., I played the positive lead. Look, it depends on what the audience likes to see us as and how we portray it. The challenge is to perform a character to the best of your ability, be it grey or positive and the rest is in the hands of the audience,” he replies.

Talking about the overnight decision to pull his previous show off air owing to the second wave of the pandemic, Karan says that it took him a while to understand the seriousness of the situation. He adds, “We were all set to get back to the shoot after a 15-day gap but then it was suddenly decided that the show was wrapping up. People associated with the show cried over the decision and understandably so, as everyone had got that opportunity after the lockdown. Somehow I was fine and positive. However, it hit me a month later. It wasn’t about the money or the visibility. It was about shooting for 15 hours a day and then suddenly sitting at home without work. In today’s scenario, it’s a huge deal to get a show. The process involves a lot of struggle. While at home, I became anxious and it took a toll on my health as well. But I am glad that I am back on the set.”
