After his stint in Bigg Boss 10, Karan Mehra will be back on TV in a comedy show Khatmal-EIshque. A TV rom-com it will have Karan playing a married man working in a multi-national company, but bored with his life. “It’s the journey of his life and his wife’s. It’s a situational comedy that is realistic,” says Karan, who will be seen in a comedy show for the first time. “I have done a bit of comedy when I was doing theatre. But this is different. I have been part of a show — Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai for eight years and worked on it for the longest hours and years that any TV actor can do. I am trying to explore my horizons. I found this interesting. Producer-director Ashwini Dhir is a prominent name in the comedy space and he was keen that I do this serial. Moreover, it’s a finite story which appealed to me,” he elaborates.

Has he kept track of the happenings in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai? “Not really, I am over it. I have heard that lot of changes have taken place, but I have no clue what’s happening. However, I enjoyed being a part of it,” he quips.
