Tejasswi Prakash recalls ‘the only time' Karan Kundrra cooked for her: ‘We were in the mood for…'
Tejasswi Prakash loves being on Celebrity MasterChef, where she is getting a chance to showcase her culinary skills. But the Naagin actor doesn't really cook at home. 'I have not yet cooked a full-fledged meal for him (Karan Kundrra). I have made him basic masala rice etc,' Tejasswi said in a chat with The Khabri. In another conversation with FilmiBeat, she revealed what Karan made for her once. 'Everyone knows Karan cooks delicious food. But he doesn't cook at home. The only time (he did)…we were in the mood of eating fries at about 3-4 am, so we sliced some potatoes and fried them. He is fond of presenting food in an appetising way. So, he ensures he presents a basic dish with some great seasonings like lemon, masalas etc. He did all that and gave me the fries to eat. That's the only thing he made for me. It's a madhouse, especially after the dogs. It's fun,' said Tejasswi. A strong relationship is always built on mutual respect, trust, shared responsibilities, and the willingness to grow together. As such, partners cooking or looking out for each other is a positive sign. Sharing responsibilities or chores helps enhance relationships further, said Dr Santosh Bangar, senior consultant psychiatrist, Gleneagles Hospitals Parel Mumbai. 'Supporting each other by doing little things can create a sense of belonging and boost happiness. Even a little push or encouragement can boost your partner's confidence and ease out any apprehensions,' said Dr Bangar. Sharing or expressing thoughts, feelings, and concerns with your partner through such gestures can significantly lighten up mental load and reduce stress, the expert said. 'This approach could provide emotional support and stability as it shows comfort and understanding. It also allows couples to spend quality time and always have a safe space in each other, which can help create deep connections,' said Dr Bangar.

Tejasswi Prakash finally reveals why she and boyfriend Karan Kundrra have not collaborated together
Ever since their romance blossomed during their time on Bigg Boss 15 , Tejasswi Prakash and Karan Kundrra have remained one of Indian television's most admired couples. Their sparkling chemistry won over millions of fans, yet despite the immense popularity of their bond, the duo has surprisingly not starred together in any full-length show or film. This has left their followers eagerly anticipating a collaboration that never seems to materialize. In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times , Tejasswi Prakash addressed this very question. Speaking with her signature charm, she revealed that the cost of casting them as a pair is possibly too high for producers to take on. She pointed out that both she and Karan are successful in their own rights, taking on solo projects and making individual strides in their careers. She indicated that while fans may long to see them together, the logistics and finances involved might be a deterrent. Tejasswi also emphasized that not working together has not impacted their professional journeys, as both continue to thrive independently. Over the years, both actors have carved strong positions for themselves in the television industry. They're not just loved by fans but also command impressive fees for their work. Tejasswi, in fact, was reportedly the highest-paid contestant on Celebrity MasterChef, taking home Rs. 3 lakh every week. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Relationship Buzz and Social Media Speculations The public interest in Tejasswi and Karan's relationship often results in widespread speculation—whether it's about a potential wedding, a project together, or rumours of a split. In 2023, Karan added fuel to the fire with a cryptic post on his Twitter account, sharing a poetic verse that left fans puzzled. The tweet—laced with emotional undertones—sparked questions about the state of their relationship. It read, ' Na teri shaan kam hoti.. na rutba ghata hota.. jo ghamand mein kaha.. wahi hass ke kaha hota.." Many followers wondered if everything was fine between the much-loved pair or if it hinted at a possible falling out. Despite these frequent headlines, neither Tejasswi nor Karan appears fazed. When asked about the constant chatter surrounding their personal life, Tejasswi responded with calm and humor. She brushed off the breakup rumours, stating that both of them are well aware of the public scrutiny and choose not to let it impact them emotionally.

Bond That Started in Bigg Boss and Continues to Grow The couple's love story began within the Bigg Boss 15 house, and since then, their connection has only grown stronger. Their moments together, both on and off screen, continue to capture hearts. Most recently, the two were seen celebrating Tejasswi's birthday in a deeply spiritual way—by visiting the sacred Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain. There, they sought blessings from Lord Shiva, showing that their bond is rooted not just in affection but also in shared values and faith. Through all the professional commitments and swirling rumours, Tejasswi and Karan remain resilient, focused, and grounded—both as individuals and as a couple.

Tejasswi Prakash on working with boyfriend Karan Kundrra: ‘We are just too expensive'
Actor Tejasswi Prakash wants people to focus on her work and passion for acting, but she is not bothered by the extra scrutiny on her personal life, especially her relationship with Karan Kundrra. And when break-up reports surface, the couple simply laughs them off. Also read: Karan Kundrra remembers first meeting with Tejasswi Prakash's parents: 'They are very sweet and simple' Tejasswi recently appeared on Celebrity MasterChef and has already begun working on a new fiction project. Prior to the reality show, she was seen in Naagin 6. According to her, the shift between fiction and non-fiction projects is just a coincidence. 'It is right that my work graph has turned out to alternate between fiction and non-fiction. But it was never planned like that. But I feel like that it is a good way of going about it,' says Tejasswi. 'I love it when people like me for the person I am. And it is a lot better when they actually have a sense of the fact that I'm just not a celebrity whom they like. I'm also an artist, and I don't ever want people to forget that. I actually want people to remember me for my art and my love for acting,' adds the actor, who recently walked the ramp in Delhi as part of the hair show by Godrej Professional while unveiling The Surreal Collection. Apart from her work, Tejasswi often makes headlines for her relationship with Karan, with fans even coining the term 'Tejran' for the couple. The Tejasswi-Karan romance keeps the media buzzing with varying reports: some days there are reports around them planning to get married, some days it is about them uniting for a project, and some days reports state that they have parted ways. 'I know that there is a lot of focus on my personal life... But I don't think the entire focus is just on that.... We do get a lot of love together, but Karan is also independently doing his projects, and I am also doing mine independently. I don't think that it has affected us in terms of work,' says the actor, who met Karan on Bigg Boss 15 and fell in love on the show. "In fact, I feel people crave to see us together. But we are just too expensive (together),' she quips. Ask her about the constant buzz around their breakup, Tejasswi shares, 'I know our fans keep themselves entertained. And that's fine. I'm okay with that. We find it funny. We actually laugh at it'. Ask her if they are planning to get married anytime soon, Tejasswi says, 'No, that's not the plan'. While Tejasswi has started work on her next project, she is not in a position to share anything about it. But the prep mode is already on. 'Honestly, the goal that I am working towards right now is losing some weight for my next project. That's literally the only thing I am working towards. When it comes to work, I want to focus on acting as well. But we can't really decide what's next for us as we do whatever's offered next. It's pretty much that,' she ends.
