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.

"Bengaluru Is Exhausted": Startup Founder Shares 3 "Corporate Concerns" Shaking Up The City
A startup founder has triggered a discussion online after describing Bengaluru as a city grappling with a quiet but collective burnout. In his LinkedIn post, Karan Raghani shared his observation after spending ten days in the Silicon Valley of India. During his visit, he met with a diverse mix of professionals, including founders, marketers, techies, product managers and designers. Reflecting on his interactions, he wrote, "I've been in Bengaluru for the last 10 days. Met founders, marketers, techies, product folks, designers, and one guy who quit his job to become a full-time meme page admin (my ultimate professional goal). And there's something no one's saying out loud. The city is exhausted." "Yes, the coffee's still strong, the startups are still pivoting, and the LinkedIn posts continue to thrive! But under all that hustle lies a deep, collective burnout. People are surviving on caffeine, wifi drops, and a distant dream of work-life balance," he added. Further, Mr Raghani identified three major corporate concerts currently shaking up Bengaluru. First, dubbed "Marathahalli Bridge Syndrome", refers to the city's notorious traffic snarls. "People are spending more time here than in their own homes. As they say, to succeed in life, you must cross many bridges. Marathahalli Bridge is one of them. Twice a day," he remarked. Second, Mr Raghani noted how Bengaluru's famously pleasant weather is influencing professional routines in surprising ways. "People are now blocking their calendars just to yawn and spread the nap mode. Saw someone blocked a slot for "out for a breezy walk" on their calendar," he wrote. Third, the founder noted is the 6 am auto crisis. "Auto drivers here are unofficial life coaches, teaching you rejection, negotiation, and detachment," he wrote. Calling it the "most brutal" challenge, he joked that asking for a ride to Indiranagar or Whitefield often results in vanishing drivers or the infamous "MINUS" reply. In his post, Mr Raghani also spoke about the government's decision to ban Rapido bike taxis. "For many of us, Rapido bike taxis were the Roman Empire, a constant saviour, a shortcut to freedom. But starting today, even that's been banned by the state government," he wrote. Concluding his post, Raghani humorously wrote, "If you survived all three, you qualify for ESOPs in emotional damage." The post has struck a chord with many professionals, both inside and outside the city. Reacting to it, one user wrote, "A surprisingly accurate pulse on urban hustle culture-with humor that hits. Beyond the laughs, it really speaks to the work-life imbalance so many are quietly enduring. Thanks for sharing Karan." "Reading your post, I was reminded of my burnout Karan! I would say it helps not to be reminded about it. Just bury it deep down," said another. "Love this, Karan. Hoping that someday, we will be able to dig deep beneath that exhaustion, and reconnect with our old, green, slow, fan-less Bangalore filled with pink blossoms and palash trees, broad, lazy roads and lots of time on our uru!!!!" commented a third user.
