Many popular actors, including Late Sushant Singh Rajput, Ankita Lokhande, Vidya Balan and Mrunal Thakur, began their careers in television. Today, we will focus on one particular actor who also commenced his journey in TV and later moved to the film industry. Bollywood Actor Karan Singh Grover Here we are talking about actor Karan Singh Grover, who was born on February 23, 1982, in New Delhi, into Sikh Punjabi family. In his early years, he relocated to Saudi Arabia, where he completed his education. Later, Grover pursued a degree in hotel management at the Institute of Hotel Management (IHM) in Mumbai. Upon graduating, Karan worked as a marketing executive at the Sheraton Hotel in Oman. After returning to India, Karan sought to explore modeling and began his career in that field. This led to his first significant role, which was also his debut in the MTV India show Kitni Mast Hai Zindagi in 2004. Following his debut, Karan experienced success and starred in several hit TV serials as the main actor, including Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, Dill Mill Gayye, and Qubool Hai over the past two decades. Karan Singh Grover's Failed Marriages With… His first marriage was to actress Shraddha Nigam. The two met through a common friend and got married in December 2008. But the relationship didn't last long. It ended after just 10 months. They officially got divorced in 2009. According to rumours circulating in the industry at that time, Karan's affair with his Dil Mil Gaye co-star Jennifer Winget was the reason for the divorce. Second marriage with Jennifer: In 2012, Karan married his co-star Jennifer Winget, who was said to be the reason for his divorce from his first marriage. Fans were happy to see their on-screen chemistry in real life as well. However, this marriage did not last long either. After two years, the two separated in 2014. Although the real reason for the breakup was not officially revealed, their silence spoke volumes. Bollywood beauty Bipasha Basu came into Karan's life in 2016. The two met on the sets of the horror film Alone (2015) and started dating immediately. Eventually, Bipasha's family gave the green signal and the celebrity couple got married in a grand manner in April 2016. Their family was even happier with the birth of their daughter Devi Basu Singh Grover in November 2022. Karan openly says that Bipasha Basu has changed his life. He believes that her positivity and courage have helped him grow mentally and spiritually. With the support of his wife, he has also taken up painting as a new hobby. Karan says that Bipasha has brought balance to his life; now he wakes up early, enjoys nature and feels more connected to himself than ever before. After a hiatus of nine years, Karan returned to Bollywood with the film Fighter, which featured Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. The film was a moderate success, earning Rs 358 crore at the box office.
