Karan Veer Mehra recalls meeting Shah Rukh Khan
Karan also recounted a memorable moment when Shah Rukh Khan and Karisma Kapoor arrived at the hotel for an event. He shared that fans had crowded the area. He remembered the presence of bodyguards and how a hotel staff member greeted him, which caught the attention of SRK's guards. Mehra said that due to this, the bodyguards presumably recognized him as someone important.
During this time, Karan asked one of the bodyguards if Shah Rukh Khan was inside the hotel, and the guard confirmed that he was. The crowd outside was becoming frantic to catch a glimpse of Shah Rukh, but Karan was allowed inside. Once he entered, he immediately spotted SRK, who also noticed him.
Karan recounted, "He started walking towards me, and I started walking with his entourage, and I entered the lift. In the lift, there was me Shah Rukh Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and one of their manager."
He further shared an amusing moment when Shah Rukh Khan mentioned a lady who couldn't come up because of the guards. Karan recalled how he boldly replied, "I told them, 'Inspite of the guards, I have made my way through'."
When asked if he really said that, Karan confirmed he did and introduced himself as a "big fan" of Shah Rukh Khan. He concluded by mentioning that he spent his first paycheck on a celebration after meeting Shah Rukh.
On Television, Karan Veer Mehra was last seen in Bigg Boss 18.

Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta were neighbours when they first met each other. Soon, love blossomed between the two. However, when Reena's parents found out about their affair, they made her promise to never meet the actor. This made things difficult for the couple. To overcome their fear of losing each other due to parents' objection, the young love birds decided to secretly tie the knot in a court marriage. Aamir Khan patiently waited to turn 21 when he found out that it was necessary for the man to be 21 to legally get married. On March 14, he turned 21. A few days later, they tied the knot. In a conversation with The Lallantop, Aamir Khan shared details about the day he got married to Reena Dutta and how Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad ruined his wedding. The actor said both he and Reena were scared to return home after their big step. 'Mujhe laga sab puchenge kaha the itni der (We thought our families will question us about being so late),' said Aamir Khan. But, luckily, it was a day when India had a match against Pakistan and everyone in their families were so engrossed in the match that they never noticed Aamir or Reena's absence. However, the match put Aamir Khan in depression. The actor recalled, 'It was India-Pakistan match day. The same match where Javed Miandad hit a six on the last ball. We were winning that match so nobody cared to ask us about our absence for so long. I too joined them and was watching cricket, however, Javed's six ruined it all. Once I happened to meet him on the flight when I told him, 'Javed bhai aapne theek nahi kiya. Aapne meri shadi barbaad kardi (You ruined my wedding). He was like, 'Kaise? (How)' I said, 'Usi din aapne chakka mara tha. Depression mein chala gaya tha mai. (Your six put me in depression.)''
