Humne history ukhaad di thi, Being at the right place at the right time waali situation hogyi thi. 4-5 saal se voh baat toh kar hi rahe the aur uss time humara Covid khatam hua tha. They were like nahi Karan toh hume chahiye hi. Toh maine kaha main toh thoda gusse waala admi hoon. Toh mereko mat hi leke jao (My biggest pay cheque was from Bigg Boss. We created history — it was one of those ‘being at the right place at the right time’ situations. They had been in talks with me for four to five years, and at that time, COVID had just ended. They were like, ‘No, we definitely want Karan.’ So I said, ‘I’m a bit of a short-tempered person, so maybe you shouldn’t take me)."He added, "Fir end main maine muh faada aur unhone haan kardia. Accha khasa muh phada tha. Jo main bande hain show ke, unhone mujhe btaya tha ki jitna tune manga hai voh history main kisi contestant ne nahi manga (In the end, I quoted a huge amount, and they agreed. I had asked for a pretty substantial fee. The main people behind the show told me that no contestant in the show’s history had ever demanded as much as I did). Because around that time, I was also behind camera and had done things as co-producers as well so I knew how much to ask for."About Bigg Boss 15The season featured several television actors, including Shamita Shetty, Tejasswi Prakash, Jay Bhanushali and Karan Kundrra, along with reality show stars such as Pratik Sehajpal.
