Karan loses his heart 2 a young intern!

He debuted on television with Balaji's Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi but it was with his second show Kasauti Zindagi Kay, also a Balaji production, that Karan Singh became popular. But when Kasauti's Sharad turned from a good to completely bad guy and was sent to jail, Karan did not take a break from acting.

In fact, he was working in another daily Solhah Singaar which was telecast on Sahara. "The problem with Sahara is that it's not the viewers' favourite channel," he rues. However, that's the reason behind his quitting the show. "Nothing was happening with the character. And when I was offered Dill Mil Gayye I decided to quit Solhah Singaar because the story had taken a different turn and my character was not moving at all," explains Karan who is quite excited about doing the second season of the very popular medical series Sanjivani.

Dill Mil Gayye, according to Karan, is quite different from Sanjivani though doctors and hospitals continue to be the common links between the two seasons of the show. "The new season of the show is young, fresh and peppy. It revolves around the lives of five interns and their interpersonal relationships," he says, adding, "The show is going to be aired at a time when people are looking for something different on television."

The serial now has pyar, masti, emotions and betrayal has Karan playing the young intern Dr. Arman Malik. "Arman the son of a doctor. He is confident, spoilt and flirtatious. But he is a very good doctor too and is very serious about his work," says Karan.

He says Arman is both serious and fun-loving. He gets along well with the dean's elder daughter, also an intern, Dr. Anjali Gupta and romance starts brewing between the two. But before the relationship evolves any further, complications arise and Arman falls in love with the dean's younger daughter Dr. Ridhima. "I am expecting everyone to love the show. It's not a normal family drama. The new interns are full of spunk, commitment, energy and the story has lot of drama. It also explores the complex world of relationships," says the actor who is having great time working for the show. "We have lot of fun on the sets. The idea is to enjoy your work and when you are happy you tend to work better."

Ask him whether his character in Kasauti will return and he says that he is unaware of any such plans. "Entries and exits keep happening in daily soaps. If Sharad is brought back from jail I will do the show again," he avers, adding, "I am not a complete Balaji boy but haven't parted ways with them either." Karan is a fitness freak and loves swimming besides playing basketball and volleyball. But he is not a party animal. "I am not into parties and late nights. I have a few close friends but they aren't from the TV industry," he signs off.
