He penned an emotional thank you note to his fans and reflected on his journey in Bollywood so far. He said, “This is a note of reflection and one of immense excitement! I turn 50 today (a number that seemed like a distant nightmare), while I know it’s kind of a mid-point of my life but I can’t help my wannabe millennial self from existing. Some call it a mid-life crisis, I proudly call it just ‘living life without any apologies.”

Karan said that in the 27 years he has worked in Bollywood, he has the “best experience ever” while telling stories, creating content, nurturing talent and watching the finest artists perform. He added, “I am grateful for the brickbats, the bouquets, the praising souls, the public trolls…ALL OF IT!!! It’s all been a huge part of my learning curve and self growth….”
