Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 18 has begun to provide entertaining and dramatic moments for its viewers, as housemates attempt to connect and build relationships. In the latest episode, actor Karan Veer Mehra opened up about the loss of his father, sharing that he was only 10 years old when it happened.

The actor noted that he didn't shed any tears at the time of his father's death, emphasising the deep impact it had on his life. The conversation took place when he was asked about his father while working out in the gym with Shehzada Dhami.

The Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 winner described his father as a loving man. Shehzada noted that every child needs both a mother and a father in their lives. In response, Karan explained, "Meri mom ne bilkul bhi ek percent bhi kami nahi hone di. Abhi woh dekh rahi hogi na yeh, toh ro rahi hogi yeh cheezein sunn ke (My mother ensured that there was not even a one percent lack. She must be crying now, hearing this).”

He added, “Aaj tak humne kabhi inn cheezon par baat bhi nahi ki hai. Kyunki main pala hoon ek dum strict boys jaise don't cry waale zone mein. Main roya nahi aaj tak kabhi. Apne dad ki death pe bhi nahi (Today, we have never even talked about these things. Because I grew up in a very strict environment where boys are not supposed to cry. I have never cried, not even when my dad passed away). The Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor mentioned that he didn't shed a tear when his father’s death.

Karan recalled the one occasion he did cry. He remembered that two days before his father's death, his dad had shaved his mustache, which Karan found funny. He joked with his father that it would grow back quickly. However, just two days later, he died.

While everyone around him was in tears, Karan was preoccupied with other tasks. Following his father's death, he felt the weight of taking on responsibilities at such a young age.

“I was just 10 years old, and as they took him away, someone said to say goodbye and look at him one last time. When I saw him, I noticed that his mustache did not grow back, and that made me cry. That was the last time I cried,” he added.
