Setting Hearts on Fire -- Karan Kundra
Lady Killer
There is something effortlessly sexy about Karan Kundra; it has not been long since this dashing young gun made his entry into the fickle television industry. This former finalist of Mr. India 2008 knows a thing or two about being macho, but don't mistake him for someone who is all body and no brain. TellyCafe.com got up close and personal with this handsome hunk and found out a thing or two about him.
Handsome hunk
Born in into a business family in Jalandhar, Punjab, Karan was pursuing an MBA degree in Florida, USA, but left it to pursue his dream in acting. His father, SP Kundra, a businessman, and his mother, Suneeta Kundra, a homemaker, were skeptical at first, but later gave in when they came to know how passionate their son was about acting. He has three sisters, Poonam a doctor settled in USA, Meenu who lives in Ontario, Canada and Madhu who lives here in India. A little known fact about Karan is that he owns successful call centre in his hometown of Jalandhar.
Say Cheese!
His first breakthrough came when he was cast in Balaji's 'Kitani Mohabbat hai'. The 26 year old, 6'1 hottie soon became a household phenomenon. He charmed women everywhere and made young girls go weak in the knees as he played the role of 'Arjun Punj' a man wrongly convicted of crime. But fate had different plans for him; sadly the show only lasted from January 19th, 2009 to September 25th, 2009. Fans sure were crestfallen, and at the same time agitated, about the cancellation of the show. As of now there is a buzz going around for a sequel for the show due to strong public demand.
Kitni Mohabbat Hai
The end of 'Kitani Mohabbat Hai' was also a bittersweet one for Karan, because it was during
the filming of this show that he met his lady love, Kritika Kamra. It was a dream come true for all the followers of 'Kitni Mohabat hai' who had laughed, cried, and celebrated moments with their beloved 'Arjun and Arohi'.

After bagging the affection of his lady, there was a strong a rumour going around that Rajashri Production had offered him a lead role in another hit "Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki', but Karan rubbished all of the reports, giving birth to a whole new report of him being loyal to his television matriarch, Ekta Kapoor.
Bachna Aye Haseeno
Karan Kundra has it all -- fortune, fame, and an army of dedicated fans -- but a little controversy of drunk driving in March 2009 threatened to damage his bright future. However, all was well in the end for the bad boy as the case got settled in the court, with Karan learning from his mistakes.
Move your body
As of 2010, Karan and Kritika are a part of the hit dance reality show 'Zara Nachke Dikha' where the age old battle of the sexes is fought by grooving to catchy songs. Karan and Krittika are each other's strength as well as weakness; will the lovestruck couple survive till the end? Only time will tell. Recently Karan fractured his thumb; but he maintains that he is not going to let it get him down, and hopes to be back in full swing on the stage during the shoot.
Most wanted
Love him or hate him, but you certainly can't ignore him. In a place where actors vanish as soon as their show goes off air, Karan Kundra 's talent in abundance, his inbuilt charisma, and a very strong presence on screen as well as off keeps the audience wanting more. This small town 'Punjab da Puttar' is here to stay!!
