Karan
Tacker
is
currently
basking
in
the
success
of
his
web
series,
Khakee:
The
Bihar
Chapter.
The
Netflix
drama
has
been
receiving
favorable
reviews
and
is
currently
among
the
top
10
most-watched
shows
on
the
platform
in
India.
Produced
by
Neeraj
Pandey,
Khakee
is
based
on
Amit
Lodha's
book
on
the
Bihar
Diaries.
It
has
Karan
in
the
lead
role
alongside
Avinash
Tiwary.
In
a
recent
interview
with
India
Today,
Tacker
opened
up
about
the
struggle
he’s
endured
to
get
rid
of
the
'TV
actor’
tag.
He
also
spoke
about
his
mentor
Neeraj
Pandey
and
how
he’s
finally
perceived
differently
by
the
industry.
It
must
be
noted
that
Neeraj
and
Karan
first
worked
together
in
Special
Ops,
where
he
played
a
pivotal
role.
Speaking
about
his
decision
to
quit
TV,
the
actor
said,
“It’s
been
a
very
tough
journey
for
me.
I
don't
like
to
glorify
my
struggles
or
success
because
I
feel
like
it's
a
choice
that
I've
made,
so
it's
totally
on
me.
But
yes.
It's
been
very
tough.
It
took
me
seven
years
quite
frankly
to
quit
television.
“Ironically,
I
worked
on
television
for
4
years
and
took
a
7-year-long
break,
but
I
am
still
known
as
a
TV
actor.
It
is
also
a
compliment
because
perhaps
my
work
left
a
lasting
impression
on
the
audience.
But
for
me,
actors
are
actors,
be
it
on
TV,
series,
or
films,
it
is
the
platform
that
dictates
your
work,”
he
added.
Karan
thanked
Neeraj
for
coming
into
my
life
because
he
really
believed
in
him.
He
further
said,
“When
I
look
for
validation,
I
look
towards
him.
And
for
me,
it
really
means
a
lot
to
kind
of
get
my
second
project
with
the
same
maker
because
it
makes
you
believe
in
your
own
self."
