In his autobiography, ‘An Unsuitable Boy’, Karan mentioned that he has been among star kids since childhood and knew Abhishek Bachchan, Zoya Akhtar, and Hrithik Roshan among others. He revealed that he had always been close to Zoya, Shweta, and Abhishek because they were very smart. However, he has never been able to develop a rapport with them.
