Karan Patel vows not to disrespect anyone on The 50

In an exclusive chat with us, Karan revealed one 'red line' he wouldn't cross with any contestant on The 50. "I won’t disrespect someone’s family, personal life, or dignity for the sake of the game. Competition is fair, character assassination is not."

Continuing the conversation, Karan shared how he deals with criticism and trolling as a public figure. The actor stated that criticism has always been a learning for him. He believes that audiences make an actor and if they criticise his work, he knows that he must be doing something wrong. And that's the reason Karan considers it and always tries to improve. "Where trollers are concerned, I feel there is too much of unemployment around people have nothing else to do but troll. Trollers are like tolls minus the 'r'. You pay the fee and walk out. You don't question why was I charged or why was I stopped. Pay the fee and walk out."

Why Karan Patel deserves to win The 50?
