Last year, on Karan's birthday, Sunny had written a heartfelt message on Instagram that read, "As a director I pushed your limits, and made you do everything. You rappelled off of high peaks in the Himalayas, jumped into frozen lakes, swam in Grade 6 Rapids water streams, got stuck between rocks, got hurt, but kept going on and on without a second thought..just because you believed in me. When I was making you do all this, as a father my heart was always in my mouth, as a director my admiration for you was scaling mountaintops! You will succeed in your life my son because you take no shortcuts. I know it's a lot of hard work, keep going, respect elders, be kind and standup for what is right! Happy Birthday, son."
With Sunny Deol's 2019 film, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, Karan made his acting debut after serving as an assistant director on Yamla Pagla Deewana 2. He will soon be seen in Apne 2, which also stars Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, and Bobby Deol. More on: karan deol
