When Special Ops' Karan Tacker ‘Lived In A Godown With My Family'
Last Updated: With consistent effort, taking on diverse roles, and striving for honest performances, Karan Tacker has carved a niche for himself in the entertainment industry. Television heartthrob Karan Tacker is riding high on success after his films, Tanvi: The Great and Special Ops season 2, received rave reviews from audiences and critics. He has been impressing audiences with his versatile acting skills, and fans couldn't move their eyes off the actor. While he is enjoying this high point in his career, do you know his journey to becoming the celebrated actor he is today wasn't without its obstacles? With consistent effort, taking on diverse roles, and striving for honest performances, he has carved a niche for himself in the entertainment industry. Now, he has revealed how he ventured into acting. Sitting down for an interview with an entertainment news portal, the Khakee actor talked about the tough times he and his family faced when they had to leave their home and live in a godown for a year and a half. He also recalled how a customer at his retail outlet suggested he should venture into acting, and once he earned fame with television shows, there was no looking back. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, he recalled, 'I started a business with my father. My father was already into the distribution of Indian garments. And I started this outlet of retail, Indian and Western clothes with Dad. We had two stores actually just right here in Lokhandwala, and we had one in Juhu. The world hit a recession, you know; there was a big city bank crash that happened. We went bankrupt, we sold our homes, we sold everything that we had, and for a little bit I shifted with my family into our godown because that's the only space that we had to live in." He went on to reveal what made him pursue acting. 'I think we were there for about a year and a half, and we put ourselves together. My dad got a job, my sister got a job, and I got a job at the same time I had started, like there's an auditioning process for flying within airlines, right? You've got to get these pictures done and all that, so I did a bit of that. Fortunately, because I had, like, a retail outlet, people used to come to my store for sourcing garments, so one of them said, 'Why don't you try acting?' That's how it happened," he said.
