Actor Karan Kundrra addresses online criticism after he said he discussed his proposal to Tejasswi Prakash with his parents. In interviews, he rejects the idea that seeking family input before a major decision is wrong, and says involving parents and siblings should not be treated as a negative. Kundrra questions the backlash by arguing that someone should speak to their own family before proceeding, and he emphasizes that the entry of a partner into one’s life does not reduce the importance of parents.
He also responds to trolls who mocked him for consulting family, including using a remark comparing where people are “born” to “Kardashians,” a line he uses to criticize those demanding he avoid talking to his parents. Kundrra says Tejasswi did not have an issue with him discussing the proposal with his family, while online users did. He further indicates that he views the trolling as unlikely to change his values, and he is concerned such narratives could influence younger people to avoid seeking parental advice on life decisions like marriage. Separate coverage notes the couple is planning marriage in their own time.
