Actor Karan Kundrra on Thursday hit back at criticism over his decision to consult his parents before proposing to longtime partner and fellow actor Tejasswi Prakash. The 41-year-old said there was nothing unusual about discussing a major life decision with his family before taking the next step.

Speaking to youtuber Siddharth Kannan on his show, Kundrra defended his actions and said parents and siblings are often the first people one should turn to when making important decisions. He also made it clear that Prakash had no issue with him involving his family before taking the next step in their relationship.

The backlash stemmed from an episode of Desi Bling, where viewers saw Kundrra discussing his relationship with his parents before planning to propose to Prakash. Some social media users criticised the actor, arguing that he should have made the decision independently.

Addressing those comments, Kundrra questioned why consulting one's parents should be seen as controversial. He said people attacking him for seeking his family's opinion should be ashamed and asked who else a person should consult if not their parents and siblings. In a sharp swipe at critics, he also questioned whether they were raised in India or in the "Kardashians household".

What did he say about family and relationships?

Kundrra stressed that entering a relationship does not diminish the importance of parents in a person's life. According to the actor, family continues to hold a special place even when someone new becomes part of one's journey.

He reiterated that discussing a proposal with family members was a natural step for him and maintained that there was no conflict between respecting one's parents and committing to a partner.

How did Karan Kundrra propose to Tejasswi Prakash?

Kundrra and Prakash, who first met on Bigg Boss 15, have become one of television's most popular couples. Their relationship, including moments of affection and disagreements, was featured on Desi Bling during their stay in Dubai.

The show eventually culminated in a grand proposal. As Prakash arrived at the venue, she was surprised to see the words "Will You Marry Me" displayed across the water. Kundrra then went down on one knee and delivered an emotional speech reflecting on their journey together before proposing.
