Television actor and personality Karan Kundra recently talked about his journey on Laughter Chef. He clarified that joining the show was never about chasing ratings or headlines; it was mostly about feeling “at home.” Karan shared that Colors TV feels like family to him, a bond that has kept him loyal to the channel since 2021. “I haven’t really worked with any other channel after that,” he explained. His connection with Colors isn’t just business; it’s deeply personal. For Karan, Laughter Chef wasn’t merely another project; it was like returning home.
Regarding the competition, Karan admitted he entered the kitchen not with dreams of winning, but with a real desire to learn. “I sincerely wanted to learn cooking,” he shared, recognizing that he wasn’t a culinary expert before joining the show. His approach was refreshingly honest; he wasn’t there to prove anything. “I don’t take pressure, and I’m not worried about many things as a human being… I don’t need to prove anything in life because I already have,” he said. He believes this laid-back, grounded attitude helped him enjoy the process and improve as both a cook and a performer bringing humor to the screen. Interestingly, Karan also revealed that Laughter Chef was originally meant to be a filler show but surprised everyone by becoming a hit.
Naturally, the conversation moved to Karan’s often-discussed personal life, especially the ongoing curiosity about his marriage plans. While he didn’t provide any concrete answers, he made it clear that marriage will happen when the time feels right. He’s aware that the topic often overshadows other aspects of his life but prefers to let things unfold naturally.
Karan also reflected on a sweet coincidence between him and his partner, actress Tejasswi Prakash. While he was preparing for his culinary debut on Laughter Chef, Tejasswi had just finished her own cooking-related show. “It was funny how her cooking show’s finale coincided with the start of mine,” he said with a smile. However, he quickly pointed out the difference: “Tejasswi loves cooking; it comes naturally to her. I only cook on set, not at home.”
Looking ahead, Karan shared an exciting possibility: a potential restaurant collaboration with celebrity chef Harpal Singh. According to Karan, Chef Singh showed real interest in partnering with him, something Karan is considering seriously. Over time, he’s found a talent for creating flavors and is intrigued by the idea of bringing that skill to life through a business. Karan mentioned that opening a restaurant is a shared dream between him and Tejasswi.
Karan also took a moment to reflect on his past teammates from Laughter Chef. He fondly recalled working with Arjun in the show’s first season, describing him as an important part of the show’s success and someone he truly misses collaborating with. Karan expressed gratitude for having worked with both Arjun and Elvish, appreciating the camaraderie and talent they brought.
In the end, Karan’s journey on Laughter Chef seems more about personal growth, joy, and human connection. This includes rediscovering the warmth of his Colors TV family, strengthening his bond with Tejasswi, and exploring a new passion in the kitchen.
