@Fari - even though my gut instinct tells me Barun is too much of a recluse these days to go to NB, if he is extended an invitation by SP, from a professional and business standpoint, he should not turn it down unless he is shooting. Sanaya's new show is on colors and I think her being there depends on the benefits to SP and Colors. She was on Colors while on SONY, so it is not out of the realm of possibility.
@sarah - I don't care that he is seen out with friends, good grief if anything has been certain in this year since he left IPK, it is that he hangs out with the usual suspects on a regular basis. I didn't like that he again is looking tired and I think that is what most here were bothered with.

@sarada - totally agree. the management of his time away from sets at IPk was to be managed by the PH. When you run a show with just in time management, planning becomes hard. I find it ridiculous that they didn't plan properly or write out a storyline. I mean, don't people get sick, get pregnant, have deaths in the family and other life events? businesses have to manage those. Again, I respect 4 Lions for their creative visions (although they recycle those too), but their management as a functioning business is pathetic barely functional.

Barun should be auditioning and should have a plan, but alas, he doesn't make one by his own admission. At least, a goal should be in his mind. I really wonder what MQE is doing for him. For an outsider, who hasn't got a godfather, I want to know what kind of things they are setting him up with for networking purposes. They have Priya Anand, Ali Faizal, Boman Irani's son etc...

In the ever changing message of Barun about IPK, in the initial days after IPK, I totally get why he didn't want to speak about it. But now, with distance, time and healing, he most recently said that he doesn't mind speaking about IPK because he knows what it has given him. Very classy.

And still after SRR has done some movies, most people do recognize him as Manav. Same with Ram Kapoor and Mr. Walia. These are not horrendous tags. They are badges earned in the landscape of a female protagonist dominated industry.

Wow we are upto a new thread and 7 pages already😲

Great to see love, admiration, criticism, concern being showered on our boy all with keeping HIS best interest in mind.
Honestly I don't think Barun will do a guest apearence in NB. I would love to see him groove and in masti mode with AD and SI even if for a few minutes, but I have my doubts. If he wanted to make appearences on TV he would have picked a few advertisements but for some reason he is making a conscious attempt to not be seen😕.
Barun will be back, I just know it. I don't know why it is taking so long and why luck isnt currently favoring his projects, or what his reasoning for laying so low all year has been but I just know that he will be back in brilliant form to enthrall all of us with his talent for years to come.
I have often heard my gandmom say that success does not come easy, that you have to earn it and pay your dues. I do hope that Barun is doing whatever is necessary backstage and to prepare himself for a bigger and better second inning and I am waiting with fingers crossed and cannot wait😃



I still think that Barun was not there at the DB's event and that may be because of some work. I don't think he is trying to hide from the public view. If so he wouldn't attend any of the parties including Raquesh's birthday or Akshay's birthday. So I don't think he is trying to hide or make an conscious attempt to be not seen.

I am still 50 - 50 on Barun coming on SP for NB. The only thing I am looking forward to his 22 yards shooting happening and he coming on a show. Waiting for some tit bits to come in from TOI or the 22 yards team.

Anu agree with you on all points. I think if SP extends him an invitation for coming on NB, he should not turn it down. Sanaya didn't turn down the offer to do guest appearance on Colors for Jhalak and that is why she was able to land a show on the channel. These small things go a long way in securing your professional relationships and having a good stand with the channels.

4Lions screwed up a lot for Barun and it really has taken Barun a long time to walk away from the mess that was IPK's abrupt end and now after 1 yr I think he is able to put this behind himself and that is why I think he is looking for any good breaks. And if he has a good serial or show then slowly the tag of ASR will diminish on its own.

I think MQ is trying to put him out for different things and I hope Barun clicks in some other venture too. Kuch toh accha ho bande ke saath.

He may or may not have been there at DB's event, but that's not what i meant by hiding. His friends have repeatedly told us that he hangs out with them all the time but they won't share his pics to respect his privacy.
I mean his appearences before general audiences, which is why i spoke of him not doing any advertisements either. To the regular audience (including many of my friends and family) Barun has disappeared post Nov 2012 and i'm sure they are wondering where and why is he hiding!!!
He did make a conscious attempt to stay away from media during the 2 months of blackout too and it did not seem to be for anything concrete as there was no news of any project that followed.
Also this is the same guy who dropped the show he was supposed to do before IPK when he was offered IPK, so then why is he not picking anything new if current projects are in a state of limbo? He often spoke of the importance of hard work and looking good as pre-requisites to success in showbiz, about how TV offered a steady income, then why are his recent actions in contradiction to his own words😕

This will sound harsh, and you all may not like to hear it:
My best friend and I watched IPK together. I forced her to start during the summer. She absolutely loved it. Became obsessed with it. Cried with me when it ended. We Skype'd and ripped apart every aspect of every episode

Me, being the obsessive, lazy and procrastinating person I am, stuck with the actors and followed their projects till date.

My best friend still knows a bit here and there about Sanaya, since she's already wrapped up a show and appeared in JDJ since the end of IPK... but she has no idea what is happening with Barun. Nothing. Zilch.

And don't be fooled. This girl loved him as much as I did when IPKKND was ending. In fact, she's the reason I won the tickets to the UK. She was going to go to the UK with me to meet him, until last minute.

Today. She has no idea about MAMR's first look or Suzanne or Mitali. I don't think she knows that 22 Yards is the name of his 2nd film. And the reason for that is, she's a premed and Neuroscience major who has ZERO time to be on sites like IF. What is she supposed to do? And now, I don't think she's nearly as inclined to see MAMR at all, cause Barun, for her, has vanished.

And that, is what scares me. Cause my best friend is one person.
