On Pinkvilla's Behind the Success show, Karan Veer Mehra was shown a picture of him with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Upon seeing the snap, the actor recalled, "I have not told anyone, but we used to call each other 'Kameeni.'" Sharing a memory of the picture, Karan Veer disclosed that he and Sushant had gone out to party and jokingly called himself Sushant.
Karan Veer Mehra added, "I really miss him. I wish he was here to see this because he vouched for me that I'm talented to be here and taste the success. In my lowest phase, he has been there to pick me up and tell me, 'You are better than me.' When he used to say this, I used to think how he could say this. He is such a big star, and how can he call me better than him? To boost me, to give that energy behind me."
Remembering Sushant Singh Rajput, Karan Veer expressed how he can't praise him in a few words. He stated how Sushant would have attended the fan meet and asked the questions in order to cheer him.

The Bigg Boss 18 winner explained the "heartbreaking" moment when Sushant passed away. He stated, "I don't know how to react because, till date, we don't have closure to that.
