Actor Karan Patel, popularly known for his role in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, has been a celebrated name in the Indian TV circuit. While Karan has had a reputation for his temper and tantrums on TV show sets, he has never shied away from addressing conversations around it. Karan, who never succumbed to the pressure of OTT, had produced a film in 2023 called Daran Choo; however, due to bad timing, the movie didn’t work. Now, in a podcast with Bharti Singh, Karan opened up about not getting good work; he also shared that he has not gotten a single TV show offered in the last six years.

Talking about not getting offers, Karan said, “I have not gotten a single daily soap offered in the last 6 years. Now, every day, around 150-200 new actors are being born. They will work on a show at 10 percent of the amount we would charge. There was a point where there was a lot of money in TV. But today, makers think that rather than making one show, they can make two web series in the same budget. But what about the quality?” When asked why he didn’t explore the OTT space, Karan added, “I am not getting offers, be it good roles or bad roles. Now the OTT space has gotten spoilt due to too many people doing too many things on it. Most of the shows on OTT today have become soft porn for me, if there is no sleaze or love-making scene in it, it won’t be watched even if its not required in the story.”

Karan Patel also expressed concerns over how makers in Bollywood are not willing to experiment. He said, “Just because one person got successful with something, everybody blindly follows them. After Kabir Singh, everything revolved around the subject of women’s abuse. The same was with Animal. Even on OTT after Family Man, everybody started making thrillers. Even Dharma and YRF, who were celebrated for the romance genre, have gotten into making thrillers.”

He further added, “We don’t have the guts to experiment, our biggest problem is that if something works in South, only then we will follow. Look at Maddock Films today, Dinesh Vijan experimented with the horror comedy genre, which was a subject where people would rarely invest money. He took a chance with Stree, Go Goa Gone, and look at Maddock’s valuation today.”
