Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash are one of the most adored couples in the television industry. They often grab attention for their PDA, and it was during their stint on Desi Bling that their dynamic became a talking point. In one of the episodes, Karan opened up about his relationship with Tejasswi to his parents before later proposing to her. Responding to criticism, the actor stressed the importance of involving family in major life decisions and said there was nothing wrong with consulting his parents.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Karan slammed those criticising him for seeking his parents' approval before proposing to Tejasswi. He said, "Ye jitney bhi log hain na jo bol rahe hain usko apne parents se baat nahi karni chahiye thi, lanat hai tumlogo ke upar. If not parents and siblings, who will you even consult?"
"Kisi aur ke aane se aap apne parents ki position nahi bhul jaoge (you will not forget your parents' place in your life if someone enters it)," he added.
Karan further said, "Jo log mereko comment kar rahe hain na ki you should not talk to your parents, bhai kon si duniya mein paida hue ho? Hindustan mein paida hue ho ki kahi Kardashians ke ghar paida hue ho tumlog? (People keep telling me that I shouldn't consult my parents before making a decision. But what world are they living in? Were they born and raised in India, or in the Kardashians' household?)"
He clarified that Tejasswi herself had no issue with him discussing the proposal with his family.
Karan and Tejasswi met inside the Bigg Boss 15 house, where their love story blossomed. They have since been in a committed relationship and moved in together. Their relationship, along with their disagreements and differences, was showcased during their stay in Dubai for Desi Bling.
Amid all this, fans finally witnessed a magical moment when Karan went down on one knee and proposed to Tejasswi.
The proposal was nothing short of grand. As Tejasswi arrived and took in the stunning setup, she was visibly shocked to see the words "Will You Marry Me?" written across the water in giant letters. Karan then delivered an emotional speech, reflecting on their journey together.
