 ( Living People ) 

Karwal was next seen on Imagine TV's TV program, Dwarkadheesh – Bhagwaan Shree Krishn, based on the famous Indian history Mahabharata, where he played the lead role of the Hindu Lord, Krishna. The series was telecast from July 2011 onwards. Vishal revealed, "This show got me into acting. I loved doing the show and started enjoying acting."

In November 2012, he participated in the reality show Bigg Boss 6. He entered as a wild card contestant. Before entering the Bigg Boss show, he said in an interview, "Being a part of Bigg Boss is a big thing. This reality show is unique and more interesting than other reality shows." He was voted out of the show in December 2012 after spending about 40 days in the Bigg Boss house, and he said in an interview with PTI, "I was not expecting to be evicted. I wanted to stay on the show longer." However, during the show, he was shown as not actively participating in game-related politics, fights, or tasks; instead, he mostly reserved himself to lying on the sunbed. Nonetheless, his interest in a co-contestant, Sana Khan, gained some curiosity from the viewers.

In February 2013, Karwal appeared in the comedy show Nautanki - The Comedy Theatre. In May 2013, he replaced Akshay Dogra and played the role of Devender in Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai.

Karwal has emphasized that he likes to do different roles on TV, where he can do something new with each role. He said, "The element of freshness in doing different things interests me. Also, I like to experiment with what I do because otherwise, doing only one serial gets monotonous." In 2014, Karwal was roped in for the daily soap Rangrasiya opposite Sanaya Irani, portraying the negative role of Shantanu in the series. His role was appreciated by TV viewers. His role ended in July 2014 as the show headed for a 7-year leap.

In August 2014, Karwal acted in a short film titled Shaadi Vaadi And All That as Karan Jaitley. In November 2014, Karwal portrayed the character of Rajveer Singh Ranawat, one of the primary antagonists in the show Jamai Raja on Zee TV alongside Nia Sharma and Ravi Dubey. He left the show in April 2015. In December 2014, he participated in the Box Cricket League as a contestant, where he was in the team Chandigarh Cubs which was owned by Shiv Panditt.

In May 2015, Karwal played a small role in Zee TV's Kumkum Bhagya as Shahid. In August 2015, he participated as a contestant in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8. He entered as a wild card entrant and was paired alongside choreographer Shampa Gopikrishna. He got eliminated within a week, where judges decided not to select him to go ahead in the competition. In September 2015, he made a cameo appearance in Ekta Kapoor's Yeh Hai Mohabbatein as Arjit.

In August 2016, Karwal acted as Krishna in the mythological series Naagarjuna – Ek Yoddha. He then played a negative role in the daily soap Kalash – Ek Vishwaas as Rajdeep and left the series in January 2017.

In 2017, he acted as Vishnu in another mythological series, Paramavatar Shri Krishna. He quit the series in 2018 due to disagreements with the production team. He said, “I was shooting only for a couple of days every month for almost a year. I had initially blocked eight days per month for the show, which was later reduced to six. However, when the time came to renew the contract, the production house and I weren’t on the same page. So, I preferred to put in my papers and move on.” He was replaced by Himanshu Malhotra.

In 2018, Karwal played Karan in the daily soap Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. The public appreciated his role, which ended later that year.

In June 2019, Karwal appeared in the sequel of the 2011 mythological series, Dwarkadheesh Bhagwan Shree Krishn – Sarvkala Sampann reprising his role of Krishna. In 2020, he played another cameo appearance in the daily series Pandya Store as Armaan. However, his role was scrapped later due to the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2020.
