good to see a healthy debate after a long time😉


Thank you..

We had been talking on our thread about Saif Ali Khan and the remarkable transformation in him as an actor, like the polishing of a rough diamond into a brilliant sparkling gem.

I do think BS is capable of a similar refinement but it will take time and effort...from what I hear he is very hard working😊, so let us hope it happens, wish him all the success.

Its one thing to be a fan and be supportive and its totally another to be a blind one at that. When I follow an actor, I tend to always criticise them, because I feel they have potential and can improve all the time. Does that make me a hater or a basher, absolutely not.

So I'm a little surprised when people say Barun is the best actor in Tellywood and Bollywood. Comeon people we all love Barun, but if you dont appraise his skills fairly you are not being fair on him and his potential. If fans dont push the actors they support, who will inspire these actors to perform better?

Are you seriously saying that Barun is better than Aamir in Lagaan when he encourages each of the villagers to become a part of the team. gives them hope and encouragement? Or is he better than SRK (I'm not a big fan of his, but still) in Chak De, when at the end he walks with his mother back in the street of his old home, with his head held high. Or is is he better than the great Amitabh Bachchan in Black when he pushes the little girl to get over her anger and get her to open up to him?

Barun has potential and can do well, but its also true he has a long way to go. None of these actors were fantastic from Day 1. So lets admit that with time, and effort Barun will get better. But labelling him as the best actor ever is unfair to him. If fans dont push an actor, where is the scope or inspiration for development?


Nice post buddy.
@bold 👏

@red I would like to disagree on the Comparison with Bollywood actors part. It is being a little unfair to the actor.
One of the above actor mentioned above, AK, does R and D of the character and its nuances for more than a month for all his movies as far as I know. They spent more than 4 or 5 months for shooting to bring out the 3 hour of film in front of us. Post prod works might be going for even longer. The hard work they invest in the role is huge and time gives them the luxury.

When it comes to a telly soap I do not think actor has so much flexibility. Despite that Barun has proved that he is a good actor(not the best IMO) with room for improvement. (I do not know the telly industry to compare with others). But comparison with BW and the top notch at this point may not be fair.

Lets wait for the Mein aur Mr right.😉

Abhaas, he is not a heath ledger for sure. Earlier his nose twitching did put me off . But lately with kidnapping track, he has improved a lot. He got lot of screen time and he did 100% justice to it. I love the way he do the double face act. One moment he sashays with anjali in a love boat and the next moment turned as dark as a devil. The double face portrayal was his forte in my opinion. Though not the best he does make entry to the top notch actors list of IPK. Agree that there is a lot of room for improvement.


sree... hamare aur kitane khayalat milte hain? bolo bolo
i love abhaas and him being shyam... eagerly waiting for his return!😆
👍🏼 on the double face portrayal and it actually intrigues me... that is his forte! each actor has his/her comfort zone! agree wid chocobuble on one thing,...he does get monotonous! but that is whole point of this debate... every actor has scope for improvement!
heath ledger was a bit too much😆

Mr. Right is just one movie...I wouldn't pass a judgement on his skills as actor just after watching it. I don't have high hopes about Mr. Right but I certainly wish it turns out good.

His first BW certainly can't be a deciding factor for his talent although it may be a deciding factor for BW career.
Many actors have failed miserably in their first movies and were brushed off by critics but later they were able to make their mark in the industry. Sometimes even talented actors don't make it big as a lot of factors are involved to make it big BW.






Okay this will be last reply. Promise Karma. Then I will get back to my lines. Pakka.

I will repeat what i said ealier- The key to a good actor is versatility, the ability to create chemistry with whoever he acts with and the intuition to choose the right script.

Time is the only answer and experience is the only allotted grade.

Loved debating with you. We should do it more often!

Awesome post TM! Given the state of this forum, I had assumed that this thread would have been reported and closed in no time. But I am glad you are fighting it out. You have my respect. This is a tough land to survive and you did a fine job of it. You have said everything that was needed to be said and a few others commented quite eloquently. So I shall keep it short and say "ASR is GOD and gods don't /can't act!" 😉

While the debate is still heated up, I'd really like to point the fact that Barun NEEDS to remain well-groomed while he is playing ASR. As an actor, you must leave your own personality behind to get in the skin of the character you are portraying. And as far as I know, ASR is not one who is inspired by Rapunzel.


YES...Especially the hair

It makes him look more boy next door...as opposed to ruthless rich arrogant businessman

@ RC... Thank you for opening this thread...its entertaining to see an actual debate

okay i am not comparing Barun to any BW actor but u have to give him some credit coz he is playing the role which is exactly opposite to him.

If we take Ram kapoor some ppl are saying he is the best actor on tv but the role he is playing has nothing new .

I have watched many soaps before and when IPK started intially coz of promos i was highly attracted to the show but then seeing the same office stuff n everything i thought its the same. Until one day i saw ASR's parents Barsi scene where in Arnav was telling Khushi how it feels when ur parents died n everything and then the Sorry scene. It gave me goosebumps. I had never experienced any such thing with a TV SOAP before.

PPl should stop comapring barun to Amitabh Bacchan nd other senior actors.
He is better than Salman Khan for me any day. And this coming from a girl whose favourite actor was Salman Khan till IPK started.

Very brave post girl and a good debate. Barun is a decent actor but he s not the best in the show for me personally its abhaas and sanaya .they are the best actors on the show... Otherwise barun portrays asr really well and yes his looks just add to everything



i somewhat disagree... all three characters are different and the treatment each character requires is different! barun, abhaas and sanaya all are good and comparisons between the three is not a good thing! there are days when one is good while the others are not! if barun cannot be shyam, abhaas cannot be ASR either:)
