Karan Singh Grover Quotes

There was a scene in ‘Qubool Hai’ where Asad shoots his father. After shooting for it, I was drained completely. At times, my character’s mood gets very depressing. Post shoot, it takes a good half hour to get out of character, to leave Asad behind.

– Karan Singh Grover

I came to Mumbai in 2000 to do a hotel management course. Following this, I worked as a marketing executive with Hotel Sheraton in Muscat for a year. It was in 2004 that I participated in the Gladrags Mr. India contest and bagged the most popular model award. After that, I did few ramp shows and ads.

– Karan Singh Grover

I really liked the script of ‘Alone.’ I thought there were a lot unexpected things in the film, which I would want to watch as a viewer. I did not think like I was doing a horror film; I did not think in terms of genre. I decided on the basis of the script.

– Karan Singh Grover

I quit ‘Qubool Hai’ at the right time. When ‘Alone’ was offered to me, I was learning production and direction. I don’t think not being seen on TV for more than a year will affect my popularity or ‘Alone.’

– Karan Singh Grover

Each person’s body type is different, and they need to understand that food should be eaten in regular portions.

– Karan Singh Grover

I am originally a surd who was born in Delhi in 1982, just two years before the Sikh riots, so all my childhood pictures are in baby frocks with ponytails, as my parents wanted to hide the fact that I was a Sikh boy, given the riots. My dad worked for a travel agency, and we soon moved to Saudi Arabia.

– Karan Singh Grover

I am flirtatious by nature, but I have never hurt anyone.

– Karan Singh Grover

As actors, we need to do our parts exactly the way they have visualised it, because if we don’t, we have to keep doing it many times over.

– Karan Singh Grover

If I had my way, I wouldn’t be sharing my personal life online. I’m a private person. At home, I don’t wander around shirtless, flexing my muscles. I roam around unshaven, with my hair disheveled. Unfortunately, people perceive you differently. It’s okay; they’re free to speculate.

– Karan Singh Grover

Hate is a very strong and heavy emotion, probably as strong as love. I don’t think I can live with hatred. If something bad happens, you feel bad about it; you forgive and move on. There’s no hatred.

– Karan Singh Grover

Saudi had been a very restricted place. Even on the magazines there, if there was a little leg or cleavage showing, they used to blacken it with a black mark. Me and Ishmeet, so many times, had tried to remove the black portion with our spit, but of course, it would never come out.

– Karan Singh Grover

I grew up watching Salman Khan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who have always juggled fitness with acting. In real life, I’m a fitness freak. Besides, it is nice to look at an actor who is fit, and if you become a role model, that’s a perk.

– Karan Singh Grover

I want to play someone really dark, like a real bad guy on screen. But I am sure I won’t be able to do so because my fans will not let me do it. They are aggressive. My image is such that no one will allow me to do a negative character.

– Karan Singh Grover

Both me and Ishmeet were very naughty. We used to have my grandfather’s swords in the house. We used to take all these swords and take all the showpieces Mom had and slice them one by one. He actually locked my nana in the kitchen once for two hours.

– Karan Singh Grover

I would love to work with Shilpa again. But it would have to be for ‘Dill Mill Gayye (DMG)’ – that’s the only fiction show I’ll take up on small screen. I’m extremely faithful to that show. That apart, I’m not likely to do anymore fiction on TV for the time being.

– Karan Singh Grover

There are co-ed schools in Saudi, but those are American or British. My dad, of course, believed in the good old CBSE Indian school system and thus, my younger brother Ishmeet and I were put in an all-boys CBSE school. My mother could move out only if she wore a burkha.

– Karan Singh Grover

I think there are only two kinds of heroes: the flamboyant ones and the angry-yet-silent types. Every character on TV falls into either category.

– Karan Singh Grover

I am just like Dr. Armaan – fun-loving, flirtatious, and tension-free. I am serious about my work, but apart from that, I am always playing pranks on people. As a viewer, I relate more to ‘Dil Mill Gayye.’

– Karan Singh Grover

My character Saurabh Singhania is a rich, bad guy who is driven by revenge, so much that you feel like scratching his face or throwing stones at him. The intimate scenes in the trailer are creating quite a buzz… I wish they had shown more of the story instead of the sizzling scenes. The film is not about boldness or intimacy.

– Karan Singh Grover

As an individual, I need space and can’t be locked in a house with strangers. I would do ‘Bigg Boss’ if I get to co-host it with Salman Khan.

– Karan Singh Grover

Why are we tiptoeing on glass? You can ask me whatever you like; people usually do, and I try to be as honest as I can.

– Karan Singh Grover

TV is like a school. It is easy to shoot for a film. In movies, you have a definite start and end. You know your character is there for a particular period.

– Karan Singh Grover

I love to sing. I also had a band during my college days in Saudi Arabia called Thousand Decibels. If not an actor, I would have become a singer. I am very passionate about work. I am a fitness freak: I go to gym before doing my shoot. I also do yoga.

– Karan Singh Grover

I am not against any kind of physical intimacy on screen, but kissing is a big no unless it’s with Jennifer. I’d like to kiss her on-screen as we do it at home, too. If we get paid for it, that’s even better.
