Barun is still not that good as ASR - Page 12

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.

well said Jenny!👏👏👏
I think Barun is doing a great job! I mean rele? How many of us could stand there like a statue not saying anything and still have millions of ppl know wut we r thinking or feeling?! I for one could NEVER do tht. I personally don't think I can talk through my eyes n rele, when I feel i can't do sumthing, I usually just appreciate the person who is trying his best to do wht most can't do.

This is just my opinion. No offense to any1!!

@TM: I am sorry that my very first post in this forum is one where I have to disagree with you but I can't help write out what I feel (i have been a silent viewer for too long and finally decided to join in all the fun).

..But ASR is better...hahahah definitely I would have ASR over Barun any day...and who makes ASR...Barun..

I haven't watched either Barun or Sanaya before, this is the first time I have seen either of them emote. Honestly, I think they are both doing a wonderful job. Since this topic puts forward the point of view that Barun is still not that good as ASR, I am limiting my comments to Barun and his portrayal of the character ASR.

When Khushi slips and lands into ASR's arms the very first time and his gaze wanders to her lips and back, she realizes her arms are around his neck (and sees his eyes wander, but that could be me guessing) and shies away. His lips curl derisively and you can 'see' the sneer in his demeanor as he almost throws her away from him. Right from that moment, the character ASR walked, effortlessly, out of the screen and into my heart. After that there are countless moments when ASR is ASR and when ASR shows shades of Arnav, too many for me to list out here. And he has been true to each shade his character needs to depict. Honestly, I have become a fan of ASR (and the Arnav we see in ASR) and since the character has made me fall in love with him, the credit goes to the actor - Barun.

I haven't watched Barun's earlier shows but he comes across as fun loving and happy-go-lucky (and sweet) in the SBS segments, therefore I commend his portrayal of ASR, a character as different from him as chalk is to cheese).

Anyway, to cut my long story short, in my opinion, the character ASR has been defined superlatively by Barun Sobti. His style is perfect for the role, his diction is perfect for the character, his looks are utterly droolworthy, everything about ASR fits the character of ASR. And makes him so real for me. And that is why I feel that the actor portraying ASR is doing a fantastic job.

Now that I have said my piece, I would also like to add that Sanaya is lovely as Khushi. Khushi is adorable and the awesome chemistry that Arnav and Khushi share is testament to the superb emoting skills of both Barun and Sanaya. I cannot wait to see what the CVs have in store for us.

I do hope nothing I have said will offend you. You have your pov and I respect it. I just couldn't help stating my opinion as I really feel the character of ASR has been perfectly enacted until now. I am a total fan of both Arnav and Khushi. Both of them have taken over my life these days:-) saatschi

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 :)

the whole thing...thts wht i feel too...(also the italisized) sometimes ya really can't tell...n sometimes u cud tell by just looking at his eyes..gosh this ASR character is sooo sooo complicated..n barun's doing it..lol tht is a hugee responsibilty..lol kudos to barun...lol he is good so far...heck hes awesome...but as u said n so did the topicmakers said..there IS MORE room for improvment...as with any other actor...

I think Barun is being Arnav in his own style... if he thinks how much he is emoting is enough than I don't think there is anything wrong with that... Improving never hurts and he'll get better with time, not that he is not better now... he is fabulous... he is one of the reasons I watch the show!!...plus if his director feels he is emoting enough to okay the scene and move on... I am okay with it too... I love Arnav Singh Raizada!!🤗😳

So who according to you can match "Sanaya's overpowering characterization, vibrancy and enhanced acting abilities. "??

Please send petition to the directors and 4 Lions to replace Barun Sobti with that actor . And please name him .

I just want to watch that actors acting ability.

Defensive are we now? Would you like me to hand you a tissue? I love how members of the forum brings out their weapons ready to charge when a mere opinion has been civilly discussed. When I observed the positivity and optimism of other individuals responses - I was taken aback as to how mature everyone in this forum were. Alas your comment had to ruin the overall effect. 🤔

Apart from tissues - I do believe I also have to advise you to re-read my comment again. *Sigh* It seems like individuals like to jump to their own conclusions and interpretations. Where in the above statement did I mention anything about replacing Barun? Kindly point that out for me since I am in a loss. Go on, highlight it, italics it, or even bold it.

I'm neither Sanaya nor Baruns fan. In fact I'll even be honest to mention that I did not even like Sanaya once upon a time. However seeing her role as Khushi has convinced me that she is indeed a fabulous actress. Are you going to shoot me for complimenting her?

In response to your last paragraph. You want me to send a petition to the directors to find a replacement for Barun just because I stated that he will improve in the future and that his acting is currently not up to the notch? Excuse me whilst I die in laughter! 🤣 Anyway .. Oh wait I feel the laughter rumbling back to life ... Excuse me again! 🤣 I have a life darling, hence I'm just going to ignore whatever you said and laugh. 😉

Aanchal, I loved u put forth ur opinion in the most civilized manner 👏 I partly agree with ur views Aanchal. Barun's expressions in some scenes are difficult to understand & I have to go back & watch the scenes more than once to get what he is trying to express. Having said that, I still think that no one & I mean no one can play Arnav better than Barun. This guy just has the right style & attitude to play
Arnav. As far as acting is concerned, if in a span of 2 months he has shown so much improvement then I have no doubts that he will win u over also very soon.
There was absolutely no need to drag Sanaya in this since this topic is not about her at all. There r always other ways to put your point across & putting down another actor or mocking the TM are definitely Not ways to do it.
P.S. Excuse the grammatical errors in this post, am posting from my phone & it's not easy doing that without making mistakes.

but barun has yet to improve...but idk..i cud read his exprs..really welll...haaiii lol but yea..sanaya is realllyy good here..barun needs to perform tht way to match up to her...her vibrancy n enhanced actiing capabilities r like way up there...n i feel like barun's just ike tht..cuz he gets no line to speak...sometimes his exprssionless face just shows pain...

and @ Sunaina..i think she just meant barun needs to improve...not tht we need to change Barun sobti..hes awesome as asr...no one wants to change him..we all love him...but every actor needs to take criticisms to improve...

Hullo! 😆 I was giving the good ole chap some positive encouragement and bam! My comment somehow is interpreted into a whole different level.
