Dedicated my 555th post to Barun.
Continued with 666th post dedicated to Barun.
Had planned on 777th post dedicated to Barun. But faced IPK3 kind of undue tribulation and missed the post, yet my love for Barun makes me use this 789th post and dedicate to Barun.
From 3rd July to 6th October (3 months duration), Barun lightened up our screens and our faces through IPK3. It will be 6th December soon, (2 months after the closure of the show). Yet the magic of ADNI continues to mesmerise us. Till date, we make VMs, write FFs, discuss about the show, about Barun-Shivani mind boggling chemistry...endless list. The forum continues to thrive with life... flourishes into a positive, happiness spreading forum... That's your success, Barun! Whatever happens to the show, however short lived it might be...you spawn a wave of bewildering fandom in viewers.
Barun has such rare, such exceptional god's gift in his mesmerisingly magical eyes and captivating face; that the moment he looks into the camera, he fixes our gaze with his... If he smiles, his eyes sparkle and the sunshine reaches our heart...If he cries, we snivel with him... If he enacts an emotion, we get goose bumps in our knees.
Barun was always great in his acting. While doing IPK1 ASR in the kidnapping track, this guy was doing a double shift and enacting Sukhi of MAMR in the other half. Such contrasting characters yet portrayed with complete justice and total dedication. Somehow, there was a mention of Arnav's vanvaas in IPK1 and Barun's vanvaas (hiatus) ended with IPK3. Like how a good wine matures and gets better with time, his acting has far more matured in last five years.
As Advay, his anger was darker (Check out the Mandir Promo where he burns her dupatta with a lamp),
his sensual yearning was deeper (Check his expressions in the do pal ruka khwabon ka kaarwa scene),
his tears were more poignant (Check his self reflection after knowing
Chandni's trauma).
In spite of short life, Advay will live long in our hearts!!!
Just look at him and relive some moments of IPKKND3
Advay will remain to be a landmark role in Barun's career for himself, too. He has exhibited an outstanding dedication to his work. This same guy had happily told everybody that his wife loved his rugged bearded look... With his acting, he made us fall in love with that bearded look, too! Yet when PH or SP decided, he should chop off his beautiful locks and get rid of the beard, he complied without any resistance. Had he not known in his heart that the reason for low TRP was nowhere associated with his look? Yet, he never asked any questions. Very few actors of tellywood, rise above their individual preferences for requirement of work.
Hats off to you, Barun! You are bound to succeed!
