Barun Sobti who plays Arnav Singh Raizada in Iss
Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon has quit the show. This
is not the first time that Barun has opted out of the
show. Earlier he had taken a break from the daily to
shoot for his film Main Aur Mr Right and was back
after a month. This time, however, reports are that
he has quit for good. When contacted Barun confirmed that he is leaving the show. "However, I
wouldn't say I have quit, but I am taking a a longish
break. I have told the production house about my
decision, now they will see how to develop the storyline in a way that will facilitate my exit," says
Varun. When asked what prompted him to take this
decision, Barun explains that he has been working
on TV continuously for the last three-and-a-half
years and is exhausted. Before Iss Pyaar..., the actor
had done other serials like Baat
Hamari Pakki and Dill Mill Gaye
among others. "This is the only
place where we work for 12 hours a
day and now I am feeling fatigued. It's taking a toll
on my health. Also, I think I am not doing justice to
the role. Besides, doing the same thing makes you
brain dead," says the actor.
When asked if he wasn't happy with the way
the serial was going (a kid has been introduced in
the show and there is speculation that he is Arnav's son) Barun said everybody loves his character, "So, why would I have a problem." "But I can't
be a workaholic, I have to take care of other things
too," says the actor who claims to not have taken
up any other show or film.
His film currently in post-production is slated to
release next year in March. "I want to give enough
time for the film's promotion," says Baru
