Early life

Karan Brar was born on January 18, 1999, in Redmond, Washington, to parents who are of Indian ancestry.[1][2][3][4] He was raised in Bothell, Washington, and has one older sibling, a sister named Sabreena.[2][3][4] Brar attended Cedar Wood Elementary School and studied acting at John Robert Powers and Patti Kalles workshops.[1][3]

Career

Brar began his acting career at the age of 11, starring as Indian middle schooler Chirag Gupta in the comedy feature film Diary of a Wimpy Kid.[2][3] Born and raised in the United States, Brar naturally speaks with an American accent and worked with a dialect coach to perfect his Indian accent for the role.[3][5]

In March 2011, Brar reprised his role as Chirag Gupta in the feature film sequel Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules.[2] In October 2011, it was confirmed that he would also be reprising his role as Chirag for the third installment of the Wimpy Kid franchise, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days, released on August 3, 2012.[6] In April 2010, he appeared in the Seeds of Compassion advertorial campaign announcing the Dalai Lama's visit to Seattle, as well as appearing in commercials for Shell Gasoline and Committee for Children.[2][4]

Brar began starring in the role of 10-year-old Indian adoptee Ravi Ross on the Disney Channel comedy series Jessie in September 2011.[2][7] During pre-production of the show, the role of Ravi was originally intended to be a Hispanic boy named Javier from South America, but casting directors were impressed with Brar during the audition process and ultimately decided to recreate the role for him.[8][9][10]

In February 2015, a new Disney Channel series Bunk'd, a spin-off of Jessie, was announced, in which Brar would reprise his role as Ravi Ross.[11] That year, he played the role of George in the Disney Channel Original Movie Invisible Sister.[12] In 2018, he had a minor role in the science fiction film Pacific Rim: Uprising.[13]

Personal life

Brar lived in the Los Angeles area with his parents and older sister,[2] until he moved in with fellow actors Cameron Boyce and Sophie Reynolds in May 2019.[14][15]
