Karan Wahi On Inferiority Around Television: “No One Says FRIENDS’ Jennifer Aniston Is A ‘TV Actor'”

Karan Wahi is clearly one of the most loved actors, especially on the small screen. The actor who is known for his hosting skills as much as for his acting chops, is no new to female attention and girls swooning over him. However, amid the whole favoritism and nepotism debate around the Sushant Singh Rajput case, Wahi has raised some very important issues.

While it is not new to see actors being slotted on the basis of the platform that they act in, TV actors are often looked down upon in India. Questioning the reason behind this attitude and treatment, the Hate Story actor says that people need to first become more accepting of an actor irrespective of the platform they come from.

Speaking to Pinkvilla about the same concept, Karan Wahi said, “Why call me inferior to another person just because of the platform we come from. I think the audience needs to reflect on that aspect. If I work on TV, and on web as well, and even in films then why just call me a TV actor? Call me an actor na? I am not saying I have a problem with it, I am very proud to start from TV, it has made me what I am today. But, to segregate people based on the platform they work on, and then talk about equal opportunities? We shouldn’t be. Eventually who is making us a star? The audience. I feel the audience needs to give credibility to everybody and then see the change.”
