Karan further said, “I also believe a lot in our traditions. We are all adopting the modern society. We are all progressive, aware, and moving with the modern times. But there are some aspects of our upbringing in which the traditions of our rich country are deeply ingrained in us. Be it respecting our parents, elders, and ancestors or teaching proper etiquette to our children, it is all in our DNA.”

Karan says, “I like that some of these aspects are really Indian. I am proud that wherever we go, we take our traditions with us. We also travel with our emotions. I also like that we can get very emotional sometimes and have a little drama sometimes, but we don’t keep it to ourselves”. Along with this, he gave the example of the practice of performing rituals for two weeks after someone’s death. However, many people are also trolling the producer. One user wrote, ‘Start with yourself first and then give knowledge to others.’ Another user wrote, ‘First change yourself, you people promote outside culture and not Indian.’
