Uditi Singh is currently winning hearts with her presence on Bigg Boss 20, but the actress has been making headlines for reasons beyond her stint on the reality show. From being compared to Kareena Kapoor Khan because of her striking resemblance to the actress to revisiting her relationship with television star Karan Wahi, Uditi’s personal life has become a talking point among viewers. Her revelations about moving from London to India for love, the difficulties in her past relationship and her hints about dating a mystery sportsperson have added several interesting chapters to her journey.
Her association with Kareena became one of the first major talking points of her acting career. Uditi played the younger version of Kareena’s character, Maya D’Souza, in the 2023 thriller Jaane Jaan, which also featured Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma. Her resemblance to Kareena attracted attention, and the comparison followed her even when she entered Bigg Boss 20. During the show’s premiere, host Salman Khan also playfully addressed her as Kareena Kapoor because of the resemblance. Before gaining wider recognition through the film, Uditi had appeared in Himesh Reshammiya’s music video Surroor 2021, featuring alongside the singer, and subsequently explored acting through other projects.
One of the most talked-about aspects of Uditi’s personal life has been her relationship with actor Karan Wahi. The two reportedly dated for approximately two-and-a-half years, and Uditi revisited their relationship while speaking to fellow contestants on Bigg Boss 20. She revealed that their relationship began after she reached out to Karan when he was looking for restaurant recommendations. Their conversations eventually developed into a romantic relationship, and they also spent time together in London. Uditi further revealed that Karan was around 10 years older than her, and the age difference became a concern for her parents. She recalled that her family was particularly uncomfortable with her dating an actor.
Uditi also spoke about how far she went to make the relationship work. She revealed that she travelled from London to Mumbai to meet Karan without informing her family. Her parents eventually learnt about their relationship after Karan shared something about her on social media. During the COVID-19 lockdown, she moved to India and even explored employment opportunities at multinational companies so that she could stay closer to him. Uditi said the relationship was serious and that they had discussed marriage. She also recalled meeting actors Ranbir Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan through Karan’s football circle, explaining that she had been a fan of Ranbir and got the opportunity to meet him because of their association.
Her relationship with Karan became a bigger talking point when Uditi opened up about the difficult phase of their romance on Bigg Boss 20. Speaking about their time together during the lockdown, she recalled frequent disagreements over household cleanliness and looking after their golden retriever, Nova. She also alleged that Karan could be dominant and that certain comments about her abilities left her feeling discouraged. Uditi said that the age difference sometimes reflected in the way he spoke to her, making her feel that her partner was not encouraging her. She eventually described their separation as a blessing in disguise. Her revelations brought considerable attention to their past relationship, particularly because she had also spoken about their marriage discussions.
Karan subsequently responded to the discussion surrounding their breakup in an interview with podcaster Siddharth Kannan. While acknowledging that he had been serious about finding a relationship that could lead to marriage, he clarified that the two had not made concrete wedding plans. According to him, the intention to eventually get married had been interpreted as an imminent marriage. He maintained that they were not compatible enough and offered his own perspective on why the relationship did not work. Karan also addressed the disagreements surrounding their pet, Nova, and said that their different approaches to cleanliness had contributed to arguments.
Uditi’s current relationship has also generated considerable curiosity among Bigg Boss 20 viewers. During a conversation with Mahhi Vij inside the house, she hinted that she was dating someone associated with the sports fraternity. When Mahhi tried to guess his profession, the discussion reportedly moved towards cricket, leaving viewers curious about his identity. This led to speculation on social media about whether the person could be an Indian cricketer.
