He gave an apt reply to everyone questioning PC’s decision of dating and marrying Nick Jonas who is about a decade younger than her. Karan pointed out society’s double standards because they readily accept couples where the man is much older than his partner. Karan elaborated, “Relationship should not be about it. I am very liberal and progressive among these things. I have never thought, 'Oh, your man should be older than you.' Why? Why should we say these things? If you find compatibility and you find a relationship of comfort, who cares who's older than who."

He added, “Who made these rules that the man should be older? Like sometimes I have heard members of my family say things like this. Sometimes, I feel that's the saving grace of the relationship. Sometimes the maturity that a woman brings to the table, I think it can actually make sure that the relationship has a strong binding. So, I really don't buy all these things, it doesn't make sense to me.”

Priyanka would sure be happy after she comes to know she has full support from the industry! On professional front, she is working on Shonali Bose’s The Sky Is Pink with her Dil Dhadakne Do co-star Farhan Akhtar.
