Karan Veer Mehra has been basking in the glory of sweet success ever since he lifted the trophy of Bigg Boss 18. Ever since he stepped outside the house, fans of the actor have been closely watching him. Now, in a recent conversation, the actor made an interesting revelation about his struggles as a child.
Talking to Telly Talk, Karan Veer Mehra shared that he was diagnosed with dyslexia in his childhood. The Bigg Boss 18 winner shared that he and his sister have always been encouraged to focus on their own achievements. While his sister was excellent in studies, Karan lagged. “I was dyslexic, which wasn't diagnosed until much later," stated Mehra.
The actor shared that throughout his life, he barely managed to pass. But during the summer break before the 10th standard board exams, his mom read him books. What shocked his mother was that he gave all the correct answers.
The Bigg Boss 18 winner shared, "So, she arranged for tuition classes for me in Maths and Accounts. And surprisingly, I scored 72% in my tenth standard exams. It was a shock for everyone at home. My mom realized that I had a problem with reading, not understanding."
In the same conversation, Karan shared that when he watched Aamir Khan’s film Taare Zameen Par later, he understood his condition better. He stated that his mother and he were very emotional while watching the movie. It helped them to understand that dyslexia was a real condition.
Talking about Karan’s win, the actor entered the Bigg Boss 18 house immediately after winning Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. He impressed viewers with his smart game strategy, entertained them with his wit, and earned immense support from Bigg Boss 18 viewers, which ultimately made him the winner, beating two strong contenders—Vivian Dsena and Rajat Dalal.
