The actor went on to play leading roles in multiple hit shows such as Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, Dill Mill Gayye, and Qubool Hai among others in the last two decade. He has also been a part of many reality shows including Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 3, Nach Baliye 3, and Khatron Ke Khiladi 3.

Karan made his Bollywood debut in a minor role in Bhram in 2008. Four years later, he wss also seen in a small role in the film I M 24. His first film as a leading hero was Alone, which was released in 2015 and starred Bipasha Basu as the leading lady. Karan and Bipasha fell in love with each other on the sets of the film and married a year later in 2016. In 2015, Karan was also seen in Hate Story 3. Also starring Sharman Joshi, Daisy Shah, and Zareen Khan in the leading roles, the erotic thriller was Karan's first successful film in the seven years.

After nine years, Karan made his Bollywood comeback with Fighter, which starred Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in the leading roles. The Siddharth Anand directorial has Karan playing the pivotal role of Squadron Leader Sartaj Gill. The aerial actioner was a box office success, earning Rs 358 crore at the box office worldwide.

Talking about Karan Singh Grover's personal life, before his marriage to Bipasha Basu, the actor has had two failed marriages. His first marriage was with the actress Shraddha Nigam in 2008, which only lasted for 10 months. In 2012, he tied the knot with Jennifer Winget, but they separated two years later in 2014. Six years after Karan and Bipasha's marriage in 2016, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Devi Basu Singh Grover in 2022.
