Further works and success (2013–present)[edit | edit source]

Towards the end of 2013, Khurana joined Colors TV's popular daily soap Sasural Simar Ka.[18] He was cast as Shaurya Singhania, an antagonist opposite Falaq Naaz.[19] He left the soap after three months.[20] Afterwards, he took a short break from acting.[21]

Khurana ended his break in 2015, and came back to TV playing Jamaal Peshawari in Zee TV's Lajwanti.[22] That year he had an extended cameo appearance in Star Plus's Suhani Si Ek Ladki as Rohan, a lawyer.[7] From 2015 to 2016, he portrayed the part of Viraat in Big Magic's Chatur Aur Chalak, Birbal aur Viraat.[23] He was chosen for the character of a garbage man in the Hindi short film Girl in Red.[24]

The role of Dr. Manav Garewal in Colors TV's reincarnation-based romance Kasam Tere Pyaar Ki marked Khurana's first television venture of 2017.[25] He then appeared in the film Hotel Beautifool.[26] He received immense praise for his portrayal of adult Shani in Colors TV's mythological series Karmaphal Daata Shani, a role he received in the last quarter of 2017.[27] He played the same role as a guest in another Colors TV mythological show, Mahakali — Anth Hi Aarambh Hai.[28][29]
