TV viewers have seen him on shows like Patiala Babes, YARO Ka Tashan, Woh Rehne Wali Mahalon Ki and more. In 2021, he contracted COVID-19 and was in a hospital ICU for close to 55 days. The whole TV fraternity got together to pray for the young actor who had just embraced fatherhood some months back. It seems his condition was so bad that he would struggle to speak a whole sentence for almost a year.

Remembering his recovery from that near-fatal phase, he told us, "I have given a lot of steroids to just save my life. But I gained a lot of weight due to the medication. The role in Kaagaz 2 demanded a fit body as I played a soldier but I was still chosen. I got courage from working and acting. Slowly, I built a fitness routine for myself. My work kept me motivated. For every actor, it is the final dream to see oneself on the big screen. Chandu Champion has fulfilled that," he said. Ahead of Chandu Champion Trailer Launch, Kabir Khan Shares a Cool Selfie With Kartik Aaryan (View Pic)
