Taking at length about the same, Karan Tacker told Hindustan Times, “I had a business with my dad. The world hit a recession in 2008, and that’s when my entire business went down. We had a tough time making ends meet as a family. At that time I started scouting for jobs. From my education, I would have probably gotten a job for twenty-five thousand, which was little for the kind of debt our business faced in the recession.”
“I had a couple of (clothing) stores that I shut down. I remember letting go of all my stocks, and putting out a sale because I had no place to keep my stock. I had let go of my house. I had put up a sign of ‘Buy one get six free’,” said the actor.

After seeing the handsome amount, he told his Dad, that he’d work as an actor as it will pull them out of misery.
“For five and six years I was only earning money to pay the debt of the business. After 6 odd years I started making and saving money,” concluded Karan Tacker.
