Tejasswi Prakash: From BF Karan Kundrra wanting to marry her right after Bigg Boss to her near-fatal injury on Khatron Ke Khiladi: Tejasswi Prakash talks about life, career and love
In a recent podcast with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Tejasswi Prakash opened up about some of the most pivotal moments that have shaped her life — both personally and professionally. She revealed that she joined Bigg Boss 15 during the pandemic, partly because she had little work, and even got vaccinated to enter the house. While she won the show, she insists her identity has always been rooted in acting, not reality TV. Her role in Naagin 6 marked a major turning point in her career. Tejasswi also touched on her harrowing experience on Khatron Ke Khiladi: she was buried in a coffin with rats, fainted during a stunt, and even suffered third-degree burns. On the love front, she recalled how Karan Kundrra expressed his feelings boldly on the show, even proposing marriage soon after — though she and her mother felt they needed to give their relationship real-world time. Her spiritual strength and honesty, she says, keep her grounded through it all.
