Rocky Jaiswal Responds To Claims Of Cashing In On Hina Khan's Stardom: ‘I Know My Position'
Rocky Jaiswal opens up on fame, reality shows, and life with Hina Khan, saying he knows his 'position and placement' and seeks creative satisfaction, not attention. Rocky Jaiswal, husband of television star Hina Khan, is often seen by her side but rarely in the spotlight. Rocky recently shared his thoughts on fame, reality shows, and carving his own space, clarifying that he is not interested in cashing in on his wife's stardom. Rocky revealed that he has never desired attention or celebrity status. 'I don't think we have ever craved attention as a unit," he told Pinkvilla. 'I know that she is the celebrity, I know she is the star, I know my position, my placement," he said. 'I Don't Want To Ride On Hina's Back' Rocky made it clear that his identity is not tied to his wife's fame. 'I don't want to giddy on her back and become somebody. I just don't want that. If I had to become somebody, I would become somebody on my own. And I'm not somebody who loves a lot of glamour or attention on me," he explained. Instead, Rocky focuses on creative satisfaction. He shared that his choices are motivated by personal growth and the desire to try new things, not by a hunger for recognition. Rocky On Reality Shows When asked if he would participate in popular reality shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi or Bigg Boss, Rocky said his decisions are based on experience rather than the lure of fame. 'I am a very adventurous person. Hina and I have done everything from skydiving to scuba diving. So if I'm offered Khatron, I would definitely try and give it a go if things and time permit. But my driving factor is not fame. My driving factor is experience. My decisions would be calculated on that," he explained. Rocky is currently part of the reality series Pati Patni Aur Panga, which he sees as an opportunity to reinvent himself. 'Whatever I'm going to do, it is not because I want fame. My partner is somebody who is famous. I don't have that craving. I want creative satisfaction and experience," he said. Reinventing Himself On Screen Talking about his journey on Pati Patni Aur Panga, Rocky revealed that the format has pushed him out of his comfort zone. 'This show is something where I'm reinventing myself. I'm a very happy-go-lucky sort of a guy. I can talk, make jokes, and be funny. But to have a balance on the camera is a new thing. And to be a little OTT on the show because I'm less expressive, that's a new thing for me," he shared. 'Never Say Never' To Bigg Boss While Rocky maintains he does not crave fame, he hasn't closed doors on opportunities. 'I'm not a guy who would say no to anything. I believe never say never because you don't know what life will push at you. If I do Bigg Boss, I would do it for the experience. If I do Khatron, I would do it for the experience. For this show, I'm doing it for experience because we just got hitched and we were offered this, so we thought okay, let's do it," he concluded.

In a recent turn of events, actor Karan Kundrra addressed rumors about his presence on dating app Bumble, despite being in a committed relationship with actress Tejasswi Prakash. A screenshot allegedly showing Karan's profile on the app surfaced online, sparking speculation among fans about whether it is just a mere coincidence or Karan is really swiping behind Tejasswi's back. What did Karan Kundrra say? Karan responded to the buzz with humor, stating, 'LOL, yes, that screenshot comes up every 6-7 months.' He further clarified that this has been happening for years and is nothing new. Karan also mentioned that the profile claimed he was in Kalyan, while he was actually spending time with his family in Punjab, adding, 'I don't even know where Kalyan is properly.' For the unversed, Karan was previously associated with Bumble as a brand ambassador during his relationship with ex-girlfriend Anusha Dandekar. This past affiliation might explain the recurring appearance of his profile on the app. How did Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash's relationship begin? Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash's love story began in the high-pressure environment of Bigg Boss 15, where emotions often run high and real connections are rare.

Karan was the first to admit his feelings, confessing his affection for Tejasswi during late-night conversations and tasks. Tejasswi, although initially guarded, soon reciprocated, and two began openly supporting and defending each other in game. Their relationship was not just a showmance, it lasted beyond Bigg Boss, with both making public appearances, meeting families, and even talking about future plans in interviews. More about Karan Kundrra Karan Kundrra began his career with the popular TV show Kitani Mohabbat Hai in 2009, where his role as Arjun Punj made him an instant sensation. The show gave him a strong foothold in Indian television and marked the beginning of a successful acting journey. He continued to shine in TV dramas like Bayttaab Dil Kee Tamanna Hai and Gumrah – End of Innocence. Story Highlights Karan Kundrra addressed rumors about his presence on Bumble, attributing it to recurring old screenshots.

Karan's past association with Bumble as a brand ambassador might explain the recurring profile appearances.
