Profession
television
He made his television debut in 2004, playing the lead role of Arjun Goenka in the show Saarrthi aired on Star Plus. Later, he appeared in several shows including Meri Awaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni (2007-08), Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki (2007-09), Yahaaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli (2009-12), Hum Aapke Hain In Laws (2013) ) and Punar Vivah (2013) etc.
In 2007, he participated in the dance reality show Nach Baliye 3 on Star Plus along with Kavita Kaushik. According to Karan, he is not much of a fan of reality shows. He said in an interview,
I can’t be on a reality show. They get boring after a while. It was only after some persuasion that I made “Nach Baliye”. During this time, I lost all interest and by the end, I was just plodding along. So, I’ve never been on a reality show. In fact, I feel like all shows like this end up being the same – wahi ek type ki judges and wahi ek type ke contestants, whether they are celebrities or ordinary people,”
In 2016, he played scientist Shantanu Kant in “Bahu Hamari Rajni Kant” opposite Ridhima Pandit.
In 2019, Grover played the role of Dr. Rohit Sippy in Star Plus’s Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum, opposite Dipika Kakar. In 2021, Karan met his neighbor Ravi Dubey, who was looking for actors for his show Udaariyaan airing on Colors. All is well with Karan, who essays the role of Angad Maan in the show. Karan shared his thoughts on Udaariyaan’s character in an interview, saying:
Ravi and Sargon were not only close friends, but also very driven people. So as an actor, if you have the opportunity to collaborate with a friend and create something together, you must not let it go. I feel lucky to be a part of their debut show ‘Udaariyan’ and continue this wonderful journey. As far as my character is concerned, Angad is a complex but dynamic and interesting character. I think his presence in “Udaariyaan” will create a new dimension to the plot of the show and it will definitely be a dichotomy for the audience to enjoy. I’m so grateful to COLORS for giving me this great opportunity because this is my first time performing with them and it couldn’t be better. “
In an interview, when Karan was asked about his future film prospects, he replied:
Do I need to do movies when I’m doing such great work on TV? Television offers me so much variety. Film, on the other hand, is definitely a bigger medium, but I don’t get anything interesting out of it, so I’m happy to be a TV actor. The only thing I missed was doing mature comedy. But my current show also gives me that, so no complaints. Thankfully, television now has a wide range of options. You will never see those same saas bahu legends on television again. There’s a lot of variety to suit my needs as an actor. “

This web series gave me an opportunity to change my image as an actor. So far, I have never played someone who had such high emotional ups and downs throughout the show. “

dispute
In 2007, Karan Grover, who played the lead role in the TV series Saarrthi (Star Plus), suddenly quit the show. His character was killed off in the series. Viewers saw that this was a twist based on the natural progression of the show’s track and Karan’s removal from the show was a strategic move. Karan explained in an interview,
I have been following “Sarrthi” since its inception. But I have to keep going. My new show ‘Meri Awaaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni’ doesn’t give me much time to watch ‘Saarthi’. So I decided to give it up. I narrated my dilemma to producer Asit Modi and thankfully, he understood my situation. So, they decided to kill off my character. I gave two months’ notice from March 10 to May 15, so there was no bad blood between us. “
While everything seemed fine to Karan, the show’s producer Asit Modi was not happy with Karan’s choice. Asit Modi said in an interview,
No one can tell me their priorities. I will not compromise my story. Karan has to come back to the show if the story demands it. We can bring him back.”
He added,
My story is powerful and people are not going to stop watching the show just because Karan is no longer a part of the show. In fact, Saarthi’s TRP is much higher than Meri Awaaz Ko…”
