Karan Brar is an American actor of Indian origin. He gained popularity for his role as Chirag Gupta in the Wimpy kid feature film franchise, ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’. His other major role was as Ravi Ross in the Disney Channel series ‘Jessie’ and its subsequent spin-off ‘Bunk’d’. Born and brought up in USA, Brar has his roots in the Indian state of Punjab. He speaks fluent English, Hindi and Punjabi, with a bit of an American accent. He has cut his hair and does not support a turban or beard, as most ‘Brars’ in India would. However, he loves to relate to Indian values and culture, which makes him ideally suited to portray an Indian origin character in Hollywood. His father encouraged him to take up acting as a career and he soon found out that he had a natural instinct for comedy. Besides feature films, he has also appeared in a few commercials and in the YouTube video of his close friend, Lilly Singh, who he considers as an elder sister. Karan is active on social media and has his own official website with a huge fan following.
