Barun is still not that good as ASR

When the show started,he was criticized to quite an extent and though I didn't agree with people who said he was expressionless even I thought that he needed to improve and of course he did but still I feel that there is something missing,he has to keep quiet most of the time and hence it is more important that he learns to convey what he is feeling without dialogues and through his eyes.
I am not saying he is bad because that would mean that I feel he spoils the scene which he does not.I am just saying that sometimes he is just average(harsh? lol I am sorry I was thinking of some other word and edited the sentence 2 times but couldn't think of anything else)

I really think Barun is trying his utmost best to please us with his performance! 😊 I just want to encourage him and i'm sure he's gonna do really well as the show proceeds further. For me, currently, he's doing a really awesome job at showing his emotions and how he feels even though he doesn't get to play around much with his facial expressions. It must be a tough job but his script demands it. Unlike characters like Khushi, Anjali, Mami and all the rest, Arnav doesn't get that freedom of expression. He's supposed to show this really tough exterior and no one is supposed to know what a gem of a person he is inside. Once that hard shell is broken i'm sure we'll see more variety in him.
Yet somehow we are still able to catch the care and concern he shows for khushi and the immense love he has for his di. All this is credit goes to barun! 👏
Hope you understand my POV. 😊 I know what you're trying to say here..Just give him some time😃

I don't think so. Barun is doing a very good job as ASR. It's not easy to emote without expressions and just stand there like a statue all the time. I don't think any current actors can emote ASR like the way Barun Sobnti does. This is not even about the chemistry aspect as Sanaya and Barun share sizzling chemistry, a chemistry that you see very few in couples on television, but I don't think no one can do more justice to ASR's role but Barun Sobti. He emotes so beautiful, each pain, each moment. His eyes express more than any words. He is not your regular college guy whose supposed to just dance around trees and deliver his line. His character has much more depth, much more emotions. Whether it's Arnav or SASR, he gives a new spunk to the character. As Arnav, he emotes more because it's his sister. He is close to her and does not have a throw a facade while as ASR, his character has many shades.

In many scenes , he directly overshadows Sanaya and Daljit in scene because he is that good. So I don't want to imply you are wrong or whatever, but majority audience will say that Barun Sobti is SO good that it is unbelivable. He makes the character of ASR and Arnav come alive litearly.

I agree with you. I think he really is improving. He doesn't spoil the scene. The show works. BUT I do think that he sometimes has a blank expression. Poker faced. You can't really tell what he's thinking...and his eyes don't really convey much emotion.

Some scenes are awesome...like when he looks at her...but I can't figure out what he is thinking. He sometimes just stares at her like he is staring out into space.

I really think he'll improve! Once the romance begins to further a bit. His scenes with Anjali are great though. You can tell when he gets irritated! lol :)

I actually love Barun Sobti as Arnav. He is just amazing.
I like his expression. He elites through his eyes so well and passionately. Plus he is supposed to give angry/blank expression since that is what his character demands of him. Although he emotes his expressions really well. If you see his scenes with Anjali he is totally different and caring. His expressions r amazing and as ASR he is angry and stone faced because to everyone other than his sister he is stone hearted. He is a man who has lost faith in god and the world. His emotions r caged and locked up. He has to keep a straight face with everyone because he thinks that if u show emotions towards someone UR showing UR weakness and UR exposing yourself. This is what hischaracter is demanding of him as of now. Even if you see him with Lavanya, he has no response towards her because that how he has made himself. Plus I think Barum is anamazing actor. He can act with his eyes which is very rare. His eyes carry so much depth and expression. If u seen his last show Baat hamari pakki hai, u will realize how amazing of an actor he is. He is versatile and is AMAZING as ASR. It's not his fault. He is doing what the character demands of him to the best of his abilities and even more. And he has already won so many hearts. Arnav character is meant to be ruthless, emotionless, and win-at-all-cost type. He is not UR regular chocolate collage boy next door. There is much more to him. And seriously speaking, nobody can play ASR better than Barun. He is outstanding. This is only my POV.

I agree too. Barun looks amazing. He suits the persona of ASR. He makes us believe he's a rich arrogant dude. He's great with his scenes with Anjali. But sometimes i have to go back and watch the scene again and again just to try and figure out what he may be thinking. Like when he was staring at those pearls in his hand i was like is he still angry or is it remorse and why did he say Khushi.. Then i looked at the scene again analyzed that the flash back of him manhandling khushi and ripping her blouse. I was like ok regret. He's very close but just another 10% clarity and it'll be all ok.
Ok like when La kissed him and he turned around to look at Khushi. What did his face say?? Was he smug? was he like YES khushi is Jealous?Was he like oh shit messed up again or was he like I didn't mean for this to happen.
But somewhere i feel its not Baruns fault. He's doing fine. I feel its the directors fault. I have seen Barun in Baat hamari pakki hai and he was supposed to over act there and he did great. Here he has to underact but somewhere since there are no voice overs we the viewers are left guessing. like after that kiss if he had a slight smile we could have guessed he was being smug or happy that khushi was J. If he was slightly (very slight) wide eyed we couldve guessed he was like oh shit. Or if he was frowning and his face looked like he wanted to explain then we couldve guessed he didnt want this to happen.

Also when she was leaving the mandir. He kept looking after her. Maybe if he looked slightly forlorn we could've guessed that he was wondering when or if he will see her again. Now were not even sure if he even thought of that or was this meeting enough for him.

So Barun is great i LOVE HIM. But the directors need to also clarify his stance about Khushi. But maybe thats what they want. Us to be confused so we have trouble analyzing him and then they reveal what he feels through his actions.

Either ways again i say love Barun. He has strong screen presence and is a great actor.

jenny thanks for saying what I wanted to say . He overshadows both daljeet an Sanaya in acting . If i say somehting people will say I am biased towards Barun sobti so most of the time I refrain from prasing him or critiscising any other actor.
