Karan Wahi has responded to rumours claiming that he has quit acting. These reports started circulating after a post on social media suggested that he had left the entertainment industry to focus only on spirituality. Karan addressed the issue directly by resharing the post on April 22 and making his position clear.
He denied the claims and explained that being spiritual does not mean stepping away from work. He wrote, “Being spiritual doesn’t mean I have to leave my work. Please don’t spread rumours for the sake of virality. Request to the concerned person to remove this post and not spread lies. Thank you.”
In a recent podcast conversation with Paras Chhabra, Karan spoke in detail about the changes he has made in his personal life. He shared that over the past few months, he has started practising naam jaap and has been wearing a Tulsi mala from Vrindavan. He also said that he has stopped eating non vegetarian food for the last three months.
Karan mentioned that spiritual figures like Neem Karoli Baba and Premanand Maharaj have had a strong influence on him. Talking about this change, he said, “I never thought in my life that I would become a vegetarian, but now, after wearing the Kanthi mala, everything feels very peaceful.”
Apart from his spiritual journey, Karan also spoke about a serious health issue he had been facing. He described it as a severe skin condition that affected him physically and emotionally. He said, “My body started drying from the inside, half of my body would become dry. When I scratched, my skin would tear and bleed. When I woke up in the morning and looked at the bedsheet, it was red with bloodstains. Seeing it, I would get scared.”
He added that making lifestyle and diet changes has helped him feel better over time.
Karan Wahi became popular through television shows like Remix, Dill Mill Gayye and Baat Hamari Pakki Hai. He has also hosted shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
In recent years, he has continued working in digital projects, making it clear that his spiritual path is part of his personal life and not a replacement for his professional career.
