Talking about her boyfriend Karan is supporting her, Tejasswi said: "Over the years I have never really had to do such scenes on screen for any of my shows, and even if I have to do something of that sort, it will only be when the script requires me to go in that direction. Coming to Karan, he has been in this industry long enough to know that when work calls for a requirement, it is important. Karan is very professional and supportive and would never interfere in work decisions related to me". "In fact, he was just teasing me by saying no kissing scenes because I was the one who was teasing him in the past for doing such scenes on-screen so honestly both our statements were just lighthearted. Neither of us would come in between our work requirements because we both Karan and I are thorough professionals at the end of the day," added Tejasswi.  https://twitter.com/itsmetejasswi/status/1491780628316299267?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1491780628316299267%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.india.com%2Fentertainment%2Fkaran-kundrra-is-very-professional-and-supportive-would-never-interfere-in-my-work-says-tejasswi-prakash-5233771%2F
