The Bigg Boss 15 fame, television actor, fell in love with Dubai at a very young age. And now we brought him to the old side of the glam Emirates to make him love every part of Dubai.

He miserably failed in snatching the prices down but at last, we had an inside joke about Karan wearing a Kandura and looking like a local. And now we know him as ‘Karan Kandura’.
