Barun is still not that good as ASR - Page 14

Barun is shown expressionless when he needs to. You are right that he should convey trough his eyes. But when he doesn't feel anything in his heart (he has build a shield for his heart that any outer circumstances from the outer worlds, not from his family) he doesn't really have any feeling to convey.

It just means that he is learnt to be calm and quiet, which is what his eyes convey when he seems expressionless. 😳

I totally see your POV, but i feel that you are misunderstanding the calm, unaffected and quiet face as expressionless. 😊

guys I think his expressions are just right ...look ASR is trying to hide his feelings or rather the fact that he is feeling anything ,,hence he deliberately goes balnk ..even verbally look how many times he denies... I am not interested , mujhe koi farq nahin padta ,, so he has to go poker faced ,,,It is just right ... I think of 3 scenes where he was awesome ...1) when he tells anjali what happened in GHn and anjali says why are you doing thid to Khushi ussne kya kiya hai ..and he replies pata nahin kya kiya hai ..that one line was delivered with so many layers .. guilt , exasperation, confusion , desperation , attraction all rolled into one ...

2) when he is questioning himself ...he is like pehle main uski baaton se pareshaan tha ab uski khamoshi mujhse bardasht nahin ho rahi ..aakhi mujhe ho kya raha ..again very layered textured dialogue

3) then the aarti scene he conveyed his emotions for khushi which are very complicated ...sharing a secret (vrat tootna) attraction , irritation of a fight ..confusion and his concern for anjali at the same time all very well ...

so I believe he is doing very well ...maybe just maybe though i do not remember any , his expression could be better is some scene but then improvement ka scope to har jagah hota hai ..as long as you are living ...and then every one , , , you me has a bad day in office , at work at school .. all days are not same and no professional can be consistent in his field day in day out ..be it a cricketer , lawyer , whoever

i would add last one line that epitomizes ASR for me ..after GH night Akash asks Arnav bhai kya theek se soye nahin ...aap bahut thake hue lag rahe ho ..and ASR says main roz aisa hi to lagta hoon ...

so that is the ASR look for you ..and Barun so far has fit the bill very well

thanks for picking all that i could have written otherwise.
but i have to say that even initially i thought that Barun has same expression
but the issue here is ASR is emotionless guy on regular basis excpet
when it comes to anjali which comes off and goes .
So i had actually go back and watch some BHPK epis to ensure that
its not Barun who needs to be blames for same situations.

I feel that CVs deliberately are doing this.
They do not want to fully give up on ASR thought process.
coming days are going to be much good with ASR more and more in
love but hate oozing out

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 get exactly what you are trying to say (er atleast i think i do 😆) In the beginning when the show hadnt even started Barun was criticised left right n center, juz like San on the other end i wasnt sure myself haven seen a few Shravan scenes, what a transformation, nobody could have imagined that, or maybe his fans did juz like we did for San L0L

hi dear how are you 😳 enjoying the weekend 😃
yes thats exactly the point, he could play a naughty , irresponsible shravan boy very well
i am sure people must have hated him a lot when he was selfish and irresponsible to the core 😆(is it so as i never watched or tracked BHPH) he was convincing there then as a stubborn arrogant ASR he is doing a good job 👏

I think that something 'missin' is not on Barun's part, the guy has got eyes that emote well.

Basically i cant explain wat i gotta say so i will take example of friday's epi.

When Anjali was hurt, and crying and praying with that challenging spirit, Arnav's expression didnt mean much, he was worried for his sister but apart from tht i guess the


actually i too got confused a lot trying to understand what exactly ASR is upto
i could not make out using ASR expression, thats the precise reason i went and looked back
some BHPH epi to see is it Barun problem or CVs
Becuase if man cant act then i will skip the show its not use seeing the same expression
it gets boring after some time , even Arhi scenes will not be able to hold me
and i did not wanted to be disappointed
Thank god it looks like its CVs who want that exactly not conveying what ASR is upto.


Arnav who doesnt believe in God was nowhere to be seen, which was a disappointment, as i stated before i would have preferred to see Arnav having a Silent War with God accusing him and questioning him for all the hurt his religious sister was getting now,

Why he will question ? he just does not believe in god. he just gives in because of his
sister remember he is ready to come but not to change the dress 😳 even when he makes
kushi drink water and later she blames him for breaking vrat he is like " how in the world
should i remember that you kept vrat for me you have fainted and reviving you was important " Silent war will come at later point of time but not with god but with himself
i am sure there is lot of testing time for ASR as a character and barun as an actor
i would love to see the conflict of loving the girl more than himself but hating her
more than anything else in the world 😍


and a climax when Anjali smiled and then got back to praying. Arnav should have been like 'She has come back to you, but i wouldnt..Never' That would have been Epic..ofcoz things dont go the way i want them to usually 🤔 i was waiting eagerly for some good Arnav dose after watching the precap. nyways what i truly mean to say is that the guy whose writing Arnav scenes truly keeps missing chances here

haha you are right in a way, but thats what we want , but ASR is not like that
he does not want anything from god once he told anajali that "maange kya lena
isse jyada maange tho my board room main poori kartha hoon 😳 " so he just
does not have communication with God its not started at all for him god is not
existing

and there to emote Arnav well, i guess its coz of the stress which they are putting on the Fact that Arnav can go to any lengths for his sister. Honestly writers we got that long Back, move ahead now please :P

yes CVs are to be blamed here not the actor, but then ASR is the character of arrogance
and stubborn, confidence less words he will keep quite rather than talk, prefers keeping his
thought to himself, he does not want to criticize others too so thats the way they want to show

Sorry for long long posts 😆 because i was going through this confusion whole of last week
and finally found the answer so long theories 😆

That Aside, U have done a tremendous Job in opening a decent post positively criticising the actor, and stating ur opinion in the best manner possible..! 🤗

I am fine with even his dialogue delivery too.. correct amount of punch and softness when required.

@TheWandmaker 🤗 no problem dear actually i am not taking anyone's side and i am definitely not hurt if anybody criticize Barun .
i am never a gaga over fan of anybody 😆
i will never watch a serial just because my fav actor is in there!
thats goes to sharukh or aamir too i will not watch a movie just because they are there 😆
That is the case with me too, SRK, i even saw Dulha Mil Gaya for Him 🤣 🤣 Oh well i started watching the show for San, but now am watching it for all of em, Luvin the show :D
except on one ocation when i saw movie aamir just because of Rajiv khandewala 😆😉 but i did not even watch a single epi of aamne saamne , thats how it works for me

i was also little bit worried about the acting and in turn longevity of the serial because SP is a very big channel and views vary from kids to old having different liking 😕 so was digging whole of last week and my pov and support for Barun comes from that nothing about this particular post. because see my other post

I saw tht post, n it pleasantly surprised me giving an insight into Shravan Ghanti nahin baji ROFL thts hilarious..! I am basically not blaming Barun for the essence which i missed, i am blaming the writers who are moulding Arnav's character and have currently brought head on focus onto the fact that he can go to any lengths for his sister. Barun stands at rank 3 in my list of favourites, that says enough as to what extent i have been charmed by this guy. 😳
