Karan was born into a Punjabi Sikh family on May 11, 1986, in Mumbai.

His fondness for Delhi’s famous golgappe and Bengali Market halwa started during family trips to the capital.
Though he studied Business Management, his passion for modeling and acting took over. A brief cameo in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008) opened the doors to his full-fledged acting journey.
