Karan Veer Mehra reveals his dyslexia wasn’t diagnosed for a long time
After a spectacular win in Bigg Boss 18, Karan Veer Mehra sat down for an interview with Telly Talk. He recounted a memory from his childhood and stated that since childhood, his sister used to score better marks in her studies while he struggled. Despite that, his mother never compared them, and it made him learn to focus on his achievements rather than anyone else. Although, much later, he was diagnosed with dyslexia which explained his academic struggles. In his words:
“My sister and I have been taught to focus on our own achievements. You’ll see our home filled with medals from various extracurricular activities, dramatics, sports, and academics. My sister was excellent in her studies, whereas I struggled. I was dyslexic, which wasn’t diagnosed until much later.”
