Miss seeing him on TV. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai was never the same after he left. Good to see he's keeping the Diwali spirit alive with family time.
His description of childhood Diwali memories is exactly how we celebrate in our family too! The diyas, sweets, and family laughter - that's what makes this festival so special. 🎇
As someone who's lived in India for 5 years, I appreciate how Karan emphasizes the "grounded" celebration. Diwali should be about meaningful connections, not just extravagant parties.
While I appreciate his message, I wish he'd address the environmental concerns around Diwali fireworks. Celebrities have a responsibility to promote eco-friendly celebrations.
Naitik-Akshara jodi was the best! Still watch their old episodes during festivals. Happy to see Karan doing well and spreading positive vibes. Shubh Deepawali to all! 🌟
