Karan Mehra opens up on marriage troubles 

The Karan Mehra arrested news comes shortly after the 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' actor opened up on his alleged troubled marriage with Nisha. Karan, who had been in Punjab for his acting projects shared how the last two weeks had been very tiring and stressful for him. 

The actor revealed that while shooting in Punjab he had come down with severe body ache and exhaustion which he took as a sign of COVID. After repeated negative tests, the actor returned to Mumbai where he tested positive for the virus after days. Additionally, the year had also been disturbing for him as he had lost a lot of his family members, close friends, and acquaintances to COVID-19. 

"People my age are dying, some even younger. It’s so sad to see how difficult the situation is. It was disheartening to see how tough it is for everyone. Such news depresses you a lot and affects you," Mehra told Hindustan Times. 

Dismissing the rumors of his marriage problems with wife Nisha Rawal, Karan had shared that his wife was taking care of him through COVID.

Even Nisha Rawal had just recently denied alleged problems in their marriage owing to Karan's numerous projects in Punjab dubbing them as 'not true'. Reports had suggested that the duo was unable to spend quality time with Nisha having to stay back in Mumbai to take care of their 4-year-old son Kavish.
