Karan Kundrra & Tejasswi Prakash: Behind the Glamour—A Shady Past, Scandalous Rumors, and the Truth About Their Relationship

The Fairytale or a Facade?

In the dazzling world of Indian television, where love stories are often scripted for the screen, some off-screen romances manage to capture the public’s imagination like wildfire. Among these, the relationship between Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash has become the talk of the town—celebrated, scrutinized, and shrouded in controversy. But is their love story a real-life fairytale, or is it a carefully curated illusion masking a far more complicated and troubling reality?

As rumors swirl about wedding bells and scandalous betrayals, a closer look at Karan Kundrra’s history reveals a pattern that’s hard to ignore: a string of failed relationships, allegations of infidelity, and even claims of abuse. Is the man hailed by fans as a “gentleman” truly worthy of that title? Or is there a darker side to this television heartthrob that the public refuses to see?

The Rumor Mill: Wedding Bells or Just Noise?

Recently, social media exploded with news that Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash were about to tie the knot. Fans rejoiced, and media outlets scrambled to confirm the details. But just as quickly as the rumors spread, Karan himself took to Twitter to shut them down, calling the wedding news “fake” and asking people to stop spreading baseless stories.

His response was swift and, to many, surprisingly aggressive. Why, people wondered, would he react so strongly to a simple rumor about marriage? Was there more to the story than met the eye? For those who have followed Karan’s journey, his reaction was a red flag—a sign that perhaps, when it comes to commitment, Karan Kundrra is not the man his public persona suggests.

The Playboy Image: Karan’s Troubled Relationship History

Karan Kundrra’s romantic history reads like a guidebook to heartbreak. Despite making his relationships public and dating some of the most beautiful women in the industry for years, he has never made it down the aisle. Industry insiders have even dubbed him “the Ranbir Kapoor of television”—a charming playboy who can never truly commit.

Let’s take a closer look at the women who have been part of Karan’s journey—and the scars left behind.

Kritika Kamra: The First Love

Karan’s first high-profile relationship was with Kritika Kamra, his co-star from the hit show “Kitani Mohabbat Hai” in 2009. The two played leading roles and, as often happens, their on-screen chemistry blossomed into a real-life romance. Their relationship became public knowledge, and fans adored them as a couple.

But when the show ended, so did their relationship. Or did it? Kritika once revealed that they never officially broke up—they simply drifted apart as their careers took them in different directions. Yet, during this period, Karan was already rumored to be dating another actress, Madhura Naik.

Madhura Naik: The Overlapping Affair

Madhura Naik was open about her relationship with Karan, but cracks soon appeared. She later admitted that Karan had never truly moved on from Kritika. Even after their supposed breakup, Karan and Kritika remained close, fueling suspicions of emotional infidelity. Madhura, feeling betrayed, ended things, unable to tolerate her partner’s lingering attachment to his ex.

Karan, when questioned, seemed to confirm the emotional overlap, saying he was “closer to his ex than his present girlfriend.” This statement alone painted a troubling picture—one of a man unable to let go of the past, even as he pursued new love.

Anusha Dandekar: The Five-Year Saga

Perhaps the most public and painful of Karan’s relationships was with VJ and actress Anusha Dandekar. Their romance lasted nearly five years, during which they co-hosted MTV’s reality show “Love School,” doling out relationship advice to struggling couples. To the outside world, they were the perfect pair—open, loving, and committed.

But behind closed doors, the reality was far different. In 2020, fans noticed that the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram and deleted all their photos together. Soon, Anusha confirmed the breakup, making a shocking revelation: Karan had cheated on her.

Her Instagram post was raw and heartbreaking. She spoke of giving her all, waiting for an apology that never came, and losing her self-respect in the process. “Yes, I have been cheated on and lied to,” she wrote. “I waited for an apology, which never came.” Her words were a damning indictment of Karan’s character, and for many fans, a wake-up call.

The Yogita Bihani Chapter: More Overlaps?

After Anusha, rumors swirled that Karan was dating his “Dil Hi Toh Hai” co-star Yogita Bihani. The two were frequently spotted together, liking each other’s posts and spending time off-set. However, neither ever confirmed the relationship.

When Karan entered Bigg Boss, many believed he was still involved with Yogita. But soon, his chemistry with Tejasswi Prakash took center stage, and the narrative shifted. In a telling moment on Bigg Boss, Karan referred to one of his exes while talking to Tejasswi, sparking speculation that he was talking about Yogita. Later, a photo of Yogita in a dress identical to one worn by Shamita Shetty on the show went viral, further fueling rumors of unresolved feelings.

The pattern was clear: Karan’s relationships often ended with ambiguity, emotional overlap, and a lack of closure.

The Tejasswi Prakash Romance: A New Beginning or More of the Same?

When Karan and Tejasswi’s relationship blossomed on Bigg Boss, fans were ecstatic. Here were two of television’s brightest stars, falling in love before their eyes. Their chemistry was undeniable, their affection genuine—or so it seemed.

But as the initial excitement faded, questions began to surface. Was this relationship different, or was Tejasswi just the latest in a long line of women to fall for Karan’s charm? Would this love story end in marriage, or would it fizzle out like all the rest?

Karan’s aggressive response to wedding rumors only heightened suspicions. If he truly loved Tejasswi, why not embrace the possibility of a future together? Why the need to shut down speculation so forcefully?

Allegations of Abuse: The Dark Side of Fame

It’s not just Karan’s romantic life that raises eyebrows. His professional conduct has also come under serious scrutiny. In 2015, while shooting for the show “Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum,” Karan’s co-star Saanvi Talwar accused him of physical and verbal abuse.

According to Saanvi, during the filming of an intimate scene, she was supposed to slap Karan as per the script. The slap landed harder than intended—a common occurrence during shoots. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, Karan allegedly stormed into her vanity van after the shoot and slapped her in retaliation, also subjecting her to verbal abuse.

For Saanvi, a junior artist at the time, the experience was traumatizing. She later spoke out, saying, “I don’t want any actress to go through what I did.” The incident painted a disturbing picture of Karan’s temperament—a far cry from the “gentleman” image he tries to project.

This wasn’t an isolated incident. During his stint on MTV Roadies, Karan was caught on camera slapping a contestant, sparking further controversy about his aggressive behavior.

The Double Standard: Public Persona vs. Private Reality

Karan Kundrra’s story is one of contradictions. On the one hand, he is celebrated as a romantic hero, a loving partner, and a role model. On the other, his history is littered with allegations of infidelity, emotional manipulation, and even physical abuse.

Fans are drawn to the “Karan-Tejasswi” brand, following them not as individuals, but as a couple. Yet, when questioned about his personal life, Karan insists on privacy, calling out the media and fans for their curiosity. But can you really ask for privacy when you’ve made your relationships so public? Is it fair to label questions about marriage and commitment as intrusive, when your entire brand is built on the image of a perfect romance?

The Emotional Toll: What About Tejasswi?

Amidst all the drama, one question remains: What does all this mean for Tejasswi Prakash? Is she aware of Karan’s past? Does she believe in his love, or is she just another chapter in his long, troubled history?

For Tejasswi, the stakes are high. Her career is soaring, her fan base is growing, and her relationship with Karan is under constant scrutiny. Will she be the one to break the cycle, or will she too become a casualty of Karan’s inability to commit?

The Price of Love in the Spotlight

The story of Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash is a cautionary tale about the dangers of falling for an image, rather than a reality. It’s about the price of love in a world where every moment is public, every mistake is magnified, and every secret is eventually exposed.

For Karan, the question remains: Can he change? Can he finally put his past behind him and build a future with Tejasswi? Or will history repeat itself, leaving yet another woman heartbroken in his wake?

For fans, the lesson is clear: Never believe everything you see on screen. The truth is often far more complicated—and far more dramatic—than any script could ever capture.

As the world waits to see what the future holds for Karan and Tejasswi, one thing is certain: In the world of Indian television, the line between fairytale and nightmare is often razor thin.
