'I'm quiet, single and available'
Bombay, 25 May, 2001: Debutant Karan Nath was an extremely charming guest, who made it amply clear that he is single but has his priorities right. Warding off comparisons with the extremely successful star son Hrithik Roshan, he announced that he'd rather chart his own course as an actor.
Karan Nath : Hi guys wass up?
vibchan : just tell me about your work Karan
Nath : Paagalpan is just around the corner, it should be releasing on the 8th of June, I'm very excited about it, till now everything is right on
track.
ash : so karan aage ka kya plan hai Karan
Nath : Now lets see yaar, waiting for the release of the film, I'm
very charged up about it, lets hope for the best
parry : So ur late karan even before ur First
release Karan Nath : You have to forgive me yaar, yesterday
was my birthday so I was partying till late last nite, otherwise I'm very
punctual, you can ask Joy, he'll be coming on the 28th:-)
ujjval_S : karan reply kar yaar..u forgot that we met the
other day ? Karan Nath : Hi Ujjval man, hows it going?
JayGoa : Karan, how did u feel working with Joy (i'm from
Goa and i know Joy very well. Karan Nath : It was a
wonderful experience working with him, he is vry talented and a great
technician, plus he has a great sense of music as well. And also very good at
heart, very friendly, always joking around whenever we were off the sets, but on
the sets he is very hardworking and punctual
ArjunYou : So how does it feel doing your first
film? Karan Nath : It was a superb experience, I mea
especially working with experienced people like Kuku Kohli, Aruna Irani, Baba
Azmi, for Yeh Dil Aashiqana and at the same time on the other hand I had
Paagalpan which had all newcomers even the technicians were even the spotboys
were new
vibchan : karan your fav colour Karan
Nath : Its the most simple question uptill now, black, blue and
red
parry : Karan do u like any particular Role which u wanna
do in future Karan Nath : The role which Al Pacino played in Scarface where he played the mafia don, thats a character I would like to essay, a character which was full of fire, something like what Sanjay Dutt did in
Vaastav
preeti : karan
karan????reply,replyreplyreplyreplyreplyreply whats
yr future plans ,do u have girl friend Karan Nath : No
Preeti I dont have a girlfriend, I'm quiet single and avialable;-)
ArjunYou : Do you have any professional qualification in
acting? Karan Nath : I have done my acting course from Mr
Kishore Namit Kishore, where dance is concerened I have done a 3-4 month course
under Shaimak Davar and then I have done courses Jojo, and for action I trained
under Dinesh and Yagneesh Shetty.
parry : I don't think it will suit ur personality karan Karan Nath : Till now you have only seen in me in the soft
romantic looks but I'm sure I can give equal justice to such a character too,
guess only time will tell
parry : Why do Hindi Actors Always have a choice from
Hollywood Films??? Karan Nath : Bcause I guess Bollywood
actors dont experiment much, guess all the films that have clicked over here are
romantic films, so audiences have been seeing the sme films. Whereas in
Hollywood they are always experimenting and working on new characters
jeet : karan will u act oppossite mads if given a
chance Karan Nath : YEAH i WOULD LOVE TO, but definitely not
opposite hr because she would look like my mother:-) but I would love to act
with her because she is a tremendous actress
ArjunYou : But do you think with the onset of so many
stars you would succeed? Karan Nath : I just need to be
focussed on my work and its good that there are others around because if the
competition is healthy only then would u know where you stand. And I'm really
looking forward to it so lts see
papai : Karan you know you have the same face as my
boyfriend has? Karan Nath : Well I guess you now know the
truth, I am your boyfriend, and my real name is Karan....guesss have been lying
to you all these years :-(
parry : How is ur film different from other LOve
stories Karan Nath : Its different because the treatment in
the film is very different, its a romantic love story but its not the same as
the regular love stories even the scenes have been treated very differently
though the best part is that it is lookoing very fresh because right from the
artistes to te technicians everyone is new.
parry : U are right karan That is Why a Brilliant Actor
Like Amitabh has to suffer But even then he gives Full full justice to his roles
like in EK RISHTA Karan Nath : I dont think Amitabh is
suffering he is a ery accomplished and known actor and he is a legend but you
are right in a way his potentional has never been tapped, I guess Amitabh and Al
Pacino are of the same class, only difference being Pacino has experimented a
lot
Akanksha : Karan if you happen to have a affair with a
co-star will u announce it or keep it under wraps? Karan
Nath : Nah na, I;m a very open guy, I never hide anything so
whenever any such thing happens I will definitely let the whole world know about
it I dont believe in hiding things
jeet : will u act if ur father directs a film and offers u
a role in it Karan Nath : Yeah definitely and we are
planning on it, my home production should get underway in a coupl of months and
uptill now only the director has been fianlised that is Mr Satish Kaushik.
meera : hi karan, are u planning to act in any ads...that
seems to a better way of getting exposed to the indian crowd Karan
Nath : Yeah but then what happens is too many ads definitely give
you a lot of exposure but then you become too common, so I guess if you goal is
ultimately movies the best way is to directly go for it
amy : Karan Nath, do you think changing your name would
make you more appealing as a star? Karan Nath : I ont
believe in changing names yaar, I think Karan Nath sounds pretty ok and first of
all I dont understand why people believe in changing names but I guess thats
their way of thinking
jeet : does it help being a son of big time film
personality in the industry, do people take you more seriously than a new
comer Karan Nath : It definitely does, right now all the
exposure Im getting is due to my dad and I consider myself very lucky and
fortunate to have somebody like him behind me because I have seen people
struggling for work and like that I never had to strugle that much, but right
now my strugle is on because my dad has got me in, but from here now its gonna
be all on my talent whether I can carry forward or not., and I'm very confident
of myself so I guess only time will tell
raaji : what could have been your future position had you
not turned up to this field? Karan Nath : Actually I was a
tennis player I used to play at National level, so I think if I have something
to fall back on its tennis first, but I have never thought of an option becuase
I'm very positive about myself and I'm an optimist I never think negatively
lekha : HI KIRAN, HAVE U LOVED ANY ONE? Karan
Nath : Yeah I mean I did break up with one when I was in college
but that was more than a year back, I hav had my share of few crushes but right
now I'm just too focussed on my work I hve been shooting around the clock
aaa : karan , in this film world every person who has
something different survives, what do you think you have? Karan
Nath : I think in todays world you have to be a complete actor
because the competition is too high so you have to be good in all the slots and
I do believe in myself a ot and I am a complete actor, I just need to prove
myself. As for being different, which somethings you guys will have to judge for
yourself
raaji : what will you do if you win in
crorepathi??? Karan Nath : First of all even if I win they
will make me donte my money or maybe I myself wll donate it, I think the best
thing about crorepati is that you have one hour to chat with a legend
sharad : what do you say about the song "dil dil hai
deewana Karan Nath : Oh I think the song has been very well
picturised and it reall grows on you, the entire song has been shot in Mauratius
and it hs come out really well
parry : My advise to you karan is that don't go for masses
u go for classes and u will automatically accepted in masses also but opposite
is never possible Karan Nath : You must be knowing about the
Govinda factor! What I am concentraing on is going for all kinds of roles were I
am not labelled as a loverboy or a action hero or a Govinda, Thats why in
Paagalpan my character is a loverboy and in Yeh Dil Aashiqana my character is an
action hero which has got a totally different shade to it
Akanksha : Karan will u be openly accessible to ur fans or
u prefer to be aloof? Karan Nath : I have always been very
humble because I have been brought up like that so I will always be open to all
my fans
vandy : karan what will be ur reaction if u become a
phenomemon like rithik roshan Karan Nath : Its definitely a
good feeling but that feeling has gots its highs and lows, I mean it can really
take you up right there at one go, but it can also can you down at one go.
Though it definitely is a good feeling
vandy : karan hello Karan Nath : Hi
VANDY, wassup? hows life?
rima : who is ur favourite actress.....with whom would u
like to work ????? Karan Nath : I think Preity Zinta i very
cute I would like to work with her and she is a good actress as well
rajesh : what do you think was your father's major
contribution to the careers of madhuri and anil kapoor? Karan
Nath : I think it was proper teamwork my dad his job and Anil and
Madhuri did theirs and I think it is teamwork because you have to be sincere to
your work and the same thing applies to everyone
vine : Karan...something serious and rather friendly, i m
sure there would have been lots of moments on sets of Pagaslpan ..were u at any
moment during ascene or a song, ATTRACTED or ARoused by ur co-star,(i froiget
her name).,...be honest to reply..buddy Karan Nath : No
actually it was a wonderful experience working with Arti but to be honest I have
never developed that kind of feelings for her because during the whole making of
the film I was always focussed on my acting so I never ever felt anything
else
avanti : karan who's ur alltime favourite
actor Karan Nath : I like all oldies so my fve actor is
Sanjeev Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and then in Hollywood I like Al Pacino, De Niro,
Anthony Hopkins, Samuel L Jackson
aaa : Tell me one thing karan, is doing comedy difficult
or doing a serious character is difficult? Karan Nath : I
think both of them have their own charm, comedy is all bout timing, whereas
serious characters have to be made more live with proper conviction
Akanksha : Karan u seem to be extremely talented, what
& who is your benchmark? Karan Nath : I would just like
to be known as a accomplished, complete and versatile actor thats why I;m
working on different characters
dhiraj : karan, I am from NeyYork.Tell me wasnt it
difficult working with a costar of such young age? Karan
Nath : Hey even Im not 30 plus yar:-)I'm only 21, so I guess we
both are pretty young and we had a good time working together
gary : are you sure you can face bollywood world dominated
by mafia Karan Nath : I'm an action hero too*flexing my
biceps*
Mitul : Karran your favourite sport Karan
Nath : Definitely Tennis because I was a national level tennis
player
parry : Karan karan don't u feel that nowadays new actors
are not given enough chance to prove themselves like in the older era today
there career is very insecure right if one or two movies flop u r
out Karan Nath : Its probably because the competition is too
tough, its good one way because you have to be pretty good and extremely
talented and you hve to be on your toes all the time u just cant take it
easy
Vikram : Karan , do u think u have some strong point over
the other hunks like hrithik, abhishek,and now arjun rampal? Karan
Nath : Watch my movie and decide for yourself
Eshaa : Do u feel the pressure of being a well known
fathers son? Karan Nath : I'm not nder any kind of bpressure
infact Im very relxed and charged up
Vikram : Karan do u think acting comes naturally to u ?
Did u always wish to be an actor?? Karan Nath : I think it
does come naturally to me because I feel acting is not acting you just have to
be yourself, and act it as how would u have reacted to it had it been in your personal life
Akanksha : Karan if are given a choice to act in one
classic film from the yesteryears, which one will you choose &
