Worship Khanna embraces all reactions to viral negative role, viewing both praise and criticism as important visibility.

He treats feedback equally—regardless of fan demographics—and remains grounded by focusing on his craft.

Actor Worship Khanna, known for his roles in hit shows like Kumkum Bhagya and Ishq Subhan Allah, as well as web series such as Hello Jee and Cold Lassi Aur Chicken Masala, recently garnered viral attention for his. performance in the microseries Secret Empire. Despite the attention, his social feeds remain refreshingly tidy.

When asked about online reactions, Worship Khanna responded, “Not really, but yes, I do believe every coin has two sides. If people praise you, there will also be times when you get hate. And I’m completely ready for that. I always strive to see the positive side of every situation.”

Worship Khanna’s viral role carried a negative edge—sharp, unapologetic, and confrontational—which sparked mixed online responses.

“The character that went viral is actually a negative role. He isn’t very soft-spoken or polite. Some people even commented things like, ‘Have you ever really drunk ₹10 crore wine?’ or, ‘What kind of guy says things like that?’ I take all of it positively,” Worship Khanna explains.

Worship Khanna welcomes any attention. “Whether they’re praising or criticising, it’s still attention and visibility. This kind of viral fame is temporary but meaningful. And honestly, when someone hates a character so strongly that they abuse you for it, that means you’ve done your job well. You made them believe in that character. So in a way, that’s also appreciation for me. I take it all as part of the journey, and I’m thankful.”

Asked about gendered fan reactions, Worship Khanna remains matter-of-fact: “For me, a fan is simply someone who connects with me—whether it’s my performance, my character, my expressions, or just how I carry myself. If I start thinking, ‘Is this person male or female? Young or old?’ it only complicates things. Appreciation—or even criticism—should be treated equally. That way, everything feels normal, and I can stay grounded.”

Summing up his philosophy, Worship Khanna says, “People will always have different opinions. Some will admire you, while others won’t. That’s the nature of the public domain. I try not to get affected—I take what’s good and let go of what isn’t. I stay focused, balanced, and let people form their own opinions. That’s their right.”
