Karan Wahi
Actor Karan Wahi recently addressed rumours which claimed that he had quit acting. The actor put all rumours to rest by making it clear that he is very much continuing his work in the entertainment industry. Karan's clarification comes after several social media posts misinterpreted his recent interview about his spiritual journey.
The speculation about Karan quitting acting began soon after an Instagram page shared a clip from one of his interviews, suggesting that he had stepped away from acting to focus on spirituality. Karan responded to the claim by resharing the post on his Instagram story on April 22 and denied the reports.
He mentioned, "Being spiritual doesn't mean I have to leave my work. Please don't spread rumours for the sake of virality. Request to the concerned person to remove this post and not spread lies. Thank you."
During a podcast with Paras Chhabra, Karan opened up about the lifestyle changes he has made in recent months, revealing that he has been practising naam jaap, started wearing a Tulsi mala brought from Vrindavan, and has also completely given up non-vegetarian food for the past three months. The actor also credited spiritual figures like Neem Karoli Baba and Premanand Maharaj for influencing his spiritual journey. Talking about the transformation, Karan shared, "I never thought in my life that I would become a vegetarian, but now, after wearing the Kanthi mala, everything feels very peaceful."
The actor went on to reveal that he had been dealing with a serious skin issue. Describing the experience as extremely distressing, He said, "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 noted that adopting a healthier lifestyle and making dietary changes has brought him relief from the condition.
Karan Wahi rose to fame with his appearances in popular television shows such as Remix, Dill Mill Gayye, and Baat Hamari Pakki Hai. Apart from acting, the actor has also built a name as a host, having hosted reality shows such as Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. In recent years, Karan has also transitioned into the digital space and continues to be actively involved in OTT projects.
