I have had my share of choices and temptations, too; I would not lie about that. And I would also like to confess that had it not been for my mother, I would probably have never been able to make the right decisions during those formative years of my life.

Karan Patel

I am blessed with a funny gene that makes me enjoy life.

I don't go by or change my attitude based on what people say. At the end of the day, they, too, are judging me from their perspective. I would rather be myself and let people accept me for what I am than be somebody who I am not, just because I want people's approval.

Karan Patel

Change Attitude Would

The funniest memory that I can recall about my school days has to be one incident that involved unfinished homework for numerous days. I didn't do any of my homework for days and days at a stretch, and kept stalling my teacher that I was extremely unwell and was under heavy medication.

My diet is high on protein, which keeps me energised and fresh.

My mom has always been beside me, always telling me what's right and what's not, guiding me through it all, keeping me away from bad company and from bad habits.

My life is an open book. You're welcome to speculate.

It's just sad that one's attitude is always speculated, even if you've not done something.

My ideal woman would be someone with both beauty and intelligence. Someone who can hold her own in a conversation, gets along with my family and respects elders, loves children, and have a sense of humour as whacky as mine.

Karan Patel

Respect Love Intelligence

If you want to be loved, keep your head on your shoulders and feet on the ground. There is nothing wrong in that. I do the same, and others should also follow this motto.

Love Your You

I don't belong to the slums, but to play Naru in 'City Of Gold,' I had to live for months in a real chawl before we shot the film.

You cannot go far alone. You enjoy your journey better if you have people by your side.

I understand that people have aspirations, and everyone wants to play the lead role. But, I do believe that one must climb the ladder from the first step.

People are sensible enough to know who's dragging my name in dirt for publicity.

London has always been my favourite city. I visit it almost every other year.

My role model has been Shah Rukh Khan. There is something or the other for one to learn from his career.

Shah Rukh Khan started his career with television, and now he is a superstar. You can't generalise and say that TV actors can't make it to films.

My trainer ensures I eat right and balance out in between my hectic shoot schedule.

I respect people's feelings when they say they love me, but it is completely their choice of expression, and I am alien to it. People have a right to express, but that's it.

Karan Patel

Respect Love They Say

People will bring up all kinds of masala, but all that matters to me are my fans. They are my strength. I am overwhelmed by their support and love. It just pays off for all the hard work you put in.

Karan Patel

Work Strength Love

If I was constantly on TV, people would get bored of me.

Karan Patel

Once in a while I do put up a video or a thank you tweet for my fans. I think our interaction cements our bond. Getting so much love from them makes me feel blessed.

Karan Patel

I have always been misunderstood.

Karan Patel

There was a time when I had no work, and I had to sit at home for 4 years.

Karan Patel

My fitness instructor helped me with strength training, muscle building, and toning.

Karan Patel

There have been times when I have goofed up, and like every adolescent, I sometimes did get led the wrong way. I would come back home really scared to face my mom's wrath and anger, but surprisingly, I never got to face one. She would always tell me in a very nice manner that what I did was wrong and that I should correct myself.

Karan Patel

At the end of the day, you entertain for few hours, but people remember a good human being for a longer time.

Karan Patel

I don't like people lying; I like honesty.

Karan Patel

I used to think I was a big star. And I used to think that the TV industry, Balaji, and my show will not survive without me. But then I realised that you cannot be bigger than your work.

Karan Patel

I do a lot of weight training, and my workouts are intense, which include cardios, core body workouts, and functional training.

Any common man can relate to the story that 'Ye Hai Mohabbatein' has.

Karan Patel

I am a celebrity, and it feels good to be famous.

Karan Patel

There is something like destiny. I don't really care if people doubt or express shock over whether our marriage will work.

Karan Patel

I am quite a fitness freak. I may not have the time to sleep, but a workout is a must. I have even set up a small personal gym on the sets.

Karan Patel

I have had my share of choices and temptations, too; I would not lie about that. And I would also like to confess that had it not been for my mother, I would probably have never been able to make the right decisions during those formative years of my life.

Karan Patel

I don't think I am a very big star on TV.

Karan Patel

Atmosphere on the sets of 'YHM' is absolutely brilliant. It's kind of picnic always, and we have a gala time shooting together.

Karan Patel

For me, stardom means when people know your name when you appear on screen.

Karan Patel

It is a proud moment for any male actor to have thousands of females chasing you.

Karan Patel

I think one needs a companion at some point in life.

Karan Patel

Adopting this lifestyle and opting to exercise has helped me a lot in life.

Karan Patel

I've always loved the media and will continue to do so, but I do feel with due respect to all concerned that surrounding us and giving us no space to move becomes difficult when you're out with family.

Karan Patel

I express myself the way I want. Sometimes, I know, I do put up posts that might be insensitive, but I am not someone who deletes a post. If my posts end up hurting people, I don't have any qualms apologising, and I have done that in the past.

Karan Patel

Just because I am a celebrity doesn't mean I can't say, 'Sorry.'

Karan Patel

The audiences know their actors. Didn't Shah Rukh Khan have a romantic image despite playing a dad in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai?'

Karan Patel

Giving a break to yourself and the audience, once in a while, is good.

Karan Patel

People might be surprised because I settled for an arranged marriage, but that's what's chosen for us.

Karan Patel

Success is a collective job, and one can't claim the credit for themselves.

Karan Patel

I always try to balance life by thinking failure of any kind, be it relationship or any project, should not affect me as an individual.

Karan Patel

I was a kid when I did the hit show 'Kasturi' in 2007. Maybe stardom went to my head and I thought I was bigger than I actually was. I took everything for granted.
