Karan Kundrra defends seeking parents' nod before Desi Bling proposal to Tejasswi
Karan Kundrra has responded to criticism over consulting his parents before proposing to Tejasswi Prakash. His remarks have sparked fresh conversation about family and relationships.
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.
