Karan Tacker reveals why he stays away from TV shows, says ‘It tends to limit you’

Over the years, Karan Tacker has featured in a number of TV shows like Love Ne Mila Di Jodi, Rang Badalti Odhani, and Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai. Karan was also seen playing a small role in the film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008. Later, the actor took a break from TV shows to try his luck in Bollywood.

In a recent interview, Karan expresses that TV limits artists because of its nature and that the strain of regularly producing daily material impairs the satisfaction of the creative process. "Sometimes TV tends to limit you because of the nature of the medium. When you are working every day, doing 8-9 scenes, and shooting almost 20 minutes of the run-time footage, it becomes very difficult to feed your creative soul. That is probably one of the reasons why I am not looking at doing television at the moment,” said the actor.

Karan who always openly speaks about TV content said, “As long as I can do quality work, the quantum of it doesn’t matter. Agar quantum kaam hi karna hai toh phir TV pe bhi kar sakte hain (If quantam is what I am looking at, I can work for TV). Obviously, what happens is when I speak like this, it can be misconstrued that ‘you are not giving respect to TV’, but the thing is this is a choice you make as an actor for your career. It just somewhere stems from that.”

Karan Tacker has hosted many TV shows such as The Voice, Nach Baliye, and India’s Got Talent. Currently, he is working in the OTT domain and features in web series called Special Ops and Special Ops 1.5.
