I have not been comfortable with my body for years: Karan

I tried so hard for years to be comfortable with my body but I couldn't get over it. No matter how successful I am.'

'I did not feel comfortable even after losing weight'
Karan further said, 'It doesn't matter what you think of yourself. I always feel comfortable in oversized clothes.
