Official reason - the long shifts were wearing him down and his health was getting affected. He couldn't deal with long working hours and quit.
Real reason - TV was always a stepping stone for him and he wanted to do Bollywood (nothing wrong, they all do). Then he bagged a film with a chhota mota production house and put poor 4 Lions through hell because he was shooting for movie and the serial simultaneously for 2 months. They had to change the story to accommodate his absence.
Then he got called to screentest for YRF and Balaji - mind you not offers, just screentests. Of course our Barun, already puffed up by pankhi adoration thinks he's the next hot thing in Bollywood and quit the show. This wouldn't have been an issue if his pankhis hadn't created such a terrible tamasha with bombarding SP customer support lines, sending gazillion emails to SP and basically harassed them to shut the show down.
Barun's fans were horribly vile with Gul Khan the producer of IPK because they held her responsible for him quitting. They spread horribly nasty stories about her, including one about how she's having an affair with KSG and this is why she wants IPK to shut down so she could concentrate on QH.
Oh man - the drama on that forum!
