Karan who has been the best person for advice in the industry, promises to be a BFF to the listeners. “Giving advises have always been an interesting part of me being a friend or be anything. I have been there with advices all the time. I have done films, television shows, been into fashion, done almost everything I could. I think radio was just one platform that I had to visit. Me being me giving relationship advice for breakups, messed up relations, one-sided love, lust which is the most important thing in the relationship, I am there for all. The best part is to not pretend but actually be one’s BFF. Calling Karan will be your one-stop advice shop for relationships and matters of the heart,” said the producer.

He added, “I am so worried that I might land into trouble for so many things on the show because I have a tendency of getting myself into trouble for what I say. Sometimes I just cannot zip my mouth, it used to be with my dietary issues and now it is going to be with my words,” he added.
