According to a report, the actor was quoted saying that while he was playing for the U-19, he injured himself and was extremely demotivated. So, he left cricket and joined his father's business. Karan is still friends with the two.

According to his interview to Radiocity 91.1 FM, Karan spoke about Virat and said like all Delhiites, both he and the cricketer are fond of food but the latter has now become more careful about his diet. He also said that from the early days, the two cricketers (Virat and Shikhar),were at par. Further throwing some light on Virat, Karan said in the interview that he loves his nephew and that would probably be his only weakness. in life. Further to reports, Wahi also shared how he is afraid of dogs and whenever he would meet Virat, the latter, who has a dog, would never tie him, knowing very well that Karan was petrified of dogs. He also shared that Virat never talks about girls. In fact, girls always talk about Virat.

Bothe the star actor and cricketer are known to support each other in their own way. In one such instance, Wahi took to micro-blogging site Twitter to lend support to Virat. He tweeted, "It feels like an old match whr indias number 4 batsmen gets us so close to victory n we still cant win it for him..well played @imVkohli." [sic]

Virat was not far behind. Karan, who is also a popular Television host, also participated in dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

Type KAR to 56882 or log on to http://colorstv.com/jhalak ." [sic] This friendship certainly seems to go a long way.
