Career

After his cricketing career was struck by an injury, he changed his career and became an actor. He made his acting debut in 2004, with the television show named Remix.

Karan Wahi and Bigg Boss 20
Karan Wahi has once again sparked rumours about his possible entry into Bigg Boss 20. The television actor, who is currently seen as a contestant on Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, has not confirmed that he will enter the reality show.
The speculation grew after he spoke about Bigg Boss in a vlog uploaded by his Khatron co-contestant Avinash Mishra, where he said: “Ho sakta hai iske baad tum mujhe Bigg Boss ke ghar mein dekho” — you might see me in the Bigg Boss house after this. Free Press Journal notes that it remains unclear whether Karan was joking or genuinely hinting at his entry.
The remark drew attention because his former girlfriend Uditi Singh is already a contestant on the show. Karan, for his part, says he wants to be in the spotlight but will decide about Bigg Boss only if he makes it to the Khatron finale.
