During this time, Karan asked one of the bodyguards if Shah Rukh Khan was inside the hotel, and the guard confirmed that he was. The crowd outside was becoming frantic to catch a glimpse of Shah Rukh, but Karan was allowed inside. Once he entered, he immediately spotted SRK, who also noticed him.

Karan recounted, "He started walking towards me, and I started walking with his entourage, and I entered the lift. In the lift, there was me Shah Rukh Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and one of their manager."

He further shared an amusing moment when Shah Rukh Khan mentioned a lady who couldn't come up because of the guards. Karan recalled how he boldly replied, "I told them, 'Inspite of the guards, I have made my way through'."

When asked if he really said that, Karan confirmed he did and introduced himself as a "big fan" of Shah Rukh Khan. He concluded by mentioning that he spent his first paycheck on a celebration after meeting Shah Rukh.
