Childhood dream and theater days

Just like the ‘3 Idiots’ dialogue—’Money was less, but the joy was big.’
Acting gave him peace
Karan speaks very honestly about what acting meant to him back then. He says, “I used to sleep really well during play rehearsals and after the performance.” Even when he had no money, acting made him happy.
