Karan Kundra, the popular host of Channel [V]’s Gumrah, the TV show which brings to light some real life teen crime cases, recently had a close encounter of the ‘criminal’ kind. He was shooting adjacent to the Ghatkopar Railway Station in Mumbai on the skywalk. The only people with him that rainy night were the director, cameraman and the attendant. Just as the director wanting to take a shot yelled ‘Action’, the versatile actor saw a man running towards him with cops running behind him. When he heard them yelling at the man, he knew that this was a police chase in progress. Describes Karan, “We got a call from the production team that a lot of top cops were in the vicinity. I realized something was wrong. My cameraman then tried to stop the guy but he was pushed. When the guy was crossing me, I reacted instinctively. Though he threatened to kill me if I tried to stop him, he fell after I kicked him. Within minutes, the cops came, picked him up and took him away.” Karan didn’t know who the culprit was, but what matters is that our streets are a lot safer now, with one goon off it.
