‘Don’t Spread Rumours’: Karan Wahi Clarifies He Has Not Quit Acting Amid Spiritual Journey

Karan Wahi has responded to rumours suggesting he has quit acting, clarifying that he continues to be active in the entertainment industry despite recent conversations around his spiritual journey.

Karan Wahi Shuts Down Quitting Rumours

The speculation began after a clip from one of his interviews was shared by an Instagram page, claiming that the actor had stepped away from acting to focus entirely on spirituality. Addressing the misinformation, Karan reshared the post on April 22 and firmly denied the claims.

“Being spiritual doesn’t mean I have to leave my work. Please don’t spread rumours for the sake of virality. Request to the concerned person to remove this post and not spread lies. Thank you,” he wrote.

Opens Up About His Spiritual Transformation

In a recent podcast with Paras Chhabra, Karan spoke at length about the lifestyle changes he has embraced over the past few months. He revealed that he has been practising naam jaap, wearing a Tulsi mala from Vrindavan, and has given up non-vegetarian food for the last three months.

He also credited spiritual figures like Neem Karoli Baba and Premanand Maharaj for influencing his journey.

“I never thought in my life that I would become a vegetarian, but now, after wearing the Kanthi mala, everything feels very peaceful,” he said.

Battle With A Severe Skin Condition

Karan also opened up about a distressing health issue he had been dealing with. Describing the severity of the condition, he shared, “My body started drying from the inside, half of my body would become dry. When I scratched, my skin would tear and bleed. When I woke up in the morning and looked at the bedsheet, it was red with bloodstains. Seeing it, I would get scared.”

He added that adopting a healthier lifestyle and making dietary changes have helped him find relief.

Continues To Stay Active In Entertainment

Karan Wahi first rose to fame with shows like Remix, Dill Mill Gayye and Baat Hamari Pakki Hai. Over the years, he has also established himself as a popular host, fronting reality shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

In recent years, he has expanded into the digital space and continues to be involved in OTT projects, making it clear that his spiritual path is not a departure from his professional one.
