Let's be frank...
YOU watched because you liked the story and the actors/characters.
Barun did the show because a) it was his job and b) because he enjoyed it his work.

If anyone of us stopped watching the show for whatever reason, does Barun have the right to rant that he invested 1.5 years in the show and how dare we stop watching it now?!! That even though WE are tired and bored, we HAVE to keep watching because HE spent so much time on it?

It's a two-way street, people. You can sop watching when you get tired or lose interest. And he can stop doing the show when he gets tired or loses interest. When, exactly, in this two-way venture did he or any of the actors become our personal slaves...to do and behave as we wish?


Exactly well said

Wow good post, enjoyed it!
Personally I don't have any issues with Barun taking a break or even leaving - what you heard I heard too and it's his life, his decision. Wish him all the best and yes I will watch whatever he chooses to do next whenever that is.
I just can't see the point of them extending the show when it was always about Arnav and Khushi as star-crossed lovers and their journey. I personally would prefer it if they ended it on a high(ish) note with both Barun and Sanaya rather then totally changing the story around with Arnav gone and ruining it with a possible new guy. For me IPK was always their love story, anything other than that I would not enjoy or be able to watch.
That's the thing I have an issue with really, but yeah that is just me, thanks for the post x

Your post shows stil sanity prevails here :)

well i have read the wu of the interview and fr me his is the last word. He said he needs break, i undertand. Yes he is in entertanment industry but if for once he vants to slow down, relax, take care of more important things in his life then whats the problem in tht! Actors are humans too! Just becoz we love them and thhey entertain us, doesnt mean that they are our slaves!

that guy looks weak, feels his life is getting monotonous, hhe actually vishhes to spend time with his wife and family then why do people make a fuss over that!?

the fact is this man is one simple and honest and a very regular fellow! Stardom hasnt affected him and hence he behaves like this.
And whats weird that people cant even digest his humility!

rarely do u find people like him and i have immense respect for him for his sheer goodness, sincerity and honesty! And for me Barun Sobti defines simplicity :) bas.

That was amazingly written. I felt these things while reading all the negative posts but never wrote them.

I just kept thinking do people not have their own life to run so that they are trying to run another person's life.

I know when my husband is working after 6:00 PM (works only 8 hours) I get mad and ask him when he is coming home, but this guy is spending 12 -14 hours working, I am sure he is washed out.

I wish BS the best of life if he decides to move on to another project or a well deserved vacation/ time off .

Also i would like to add, that its his simplicity which has kept him sane amidst all the stardom and chaos surrounding him.

its his regular way of thinking that keeps him away frm thinking of *Fandom* nt that he doesnt care, he ha always been grateful to his viewers for their undying love and support but what i love the fact that from the very beginning he has made this clear that i provide u entertainment, m greedy of your love, give me affection if i do good work.

just that but he doesnt owe us explainations regarding every single decision of his life. And i have always appreciated this thing aout him. He has always been honest about it, never being fake about this fact.

Great post agree with everything except that I would like SP to end the show with his departure from the show. Have a Season 2 when he is all rested and comes back with the same cast, but really there is no IPK w/o Barun. Let's face it, that's the truth :)

A very good and much needed post I must say, when the entire forum is busy ranting either against Barun or mostly against Gul (though I wonder why only there r three more lions, rt?😆)
Anyways, ofcourse its his life and if I as a student have the right to say to my family that m bored of studies after graduation and need some break before continuing it further, then so does Barun.
We can't actually do much, except maybe call and mail but the thing is we cannot and should not force him, its his life after all, he can leave to spend time with his wife and family, or maybe to get into movies or something, well whatever. But then again my Dad did get a bit sad at my decision and I can't do anything about it (well actually I did, joined postgrad merely after a break of a month🤢), and so as a fan I m really sad and upset, at the thought of losing my fav show, cz personally for me IPK ends with Sarun (to each their own, I guess), and that after a few days when the clock will strike 8 I wouldn't be running to the common room but reminiscing the memory of when I used to do it and how all my friends would tease me about this obsession and craziness of mine. But then this will happen for maybe 2 days or 3 days or a week or two at the most and then I'll probably find something else to engage my interest, maybe something a tadbit more creative and useful, I wish. So then again life would go on.

I do not intend on watching the PH's new show, QH, well the most basic reason being I hate the main lead and somehow he reminds me of a triangle 😆, and I know I wouldn't be going to watch Barun's movie either, I mean for god's sake I didn't even watch the final or for that matter any part of even Harry Potter in a theatre, and thats Harry Potter, if u know wat I mean. well maybe for a while I'll rewatch all the Sarun episodes online but then things will start to fade, cz afterall its just a show, and doesn't matter how much we say it not just a show, but the truth remains it is but just a show.

frankly saying I'll have to hunt some new distraction as currently I have no idea watever is going on in any other show, maybe I'll rewatch the American series Friends or How I Met Your Mother or the Korean series Boys over Flower, who knows, somehow I never get bored of these, maybe Bb4F for now😆

But then still as an ardent fan I have always dreamt of a fairytale ending for Arshi and that dream would be shattered and some void would remain forever,considering I am a kind of person who finishes Chetan Bhagat, even though hating it while reading🤢 So personally I would have been happy and satisfied had they given us a nice ending, but its an end for me anyways😭

BTW, what has really upset me is that fans have been continuously ranting and bashing Gul, cz "some source" said she is the reason behind Barun's departure. And without applying their brains they have just started bashing her ruthlessly, forgetting that if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have even got what we did. IPK is her brain child and we should never forget that.

Anyways sorry for this super long comment but tonight there r so few posts where I could write all this, and I wanted to write, considering I am going through an emotional turmoil. Who thought a show could effect one so much.

So goodbye IPKKND, u'll always remain a beautiful void for me. Beautiful but unfinished and thus pinching slightly evry now and then. But anyways BYE.

Looks like he suffering from burn out! The 40 days was not leave last time! He was doing 2 jobs!


So he probably does need a break! Key him take it! But I want in the end for ARHI to be together abductee show to end with SARUN as ARHI! A happy ending!


If not I will come to Mumbai and set fire to SP abc also take out a hit on Gul khan! Lol

Good post! I agree with most of ur pts...
1. Barun needs and truly does deserve a break ... Poor guy shd b able to without all hell breaking loose ...infact I thought even He had not expected such a backlash reg his break ...I remember hearing an incredulous "official announcement ?" From him in his IF 1st interview 2 days back ...whatever might b the reason .. He has full right to take his own decisions . Infact I fully support his decision even if he wanted to take some time off to promote his movie or do another movie ... C'mon if he does not try to move up now when will he ? He is 28 , very successful on TV , has an immense screen presence and fan following why shouldn't he spread his wings ... And another thing , as all parents know ... Our lives revolve around our kids but still the day they become independent nobody is happier than the parent...
So I M there for u Barun in all ur decisions ...

2. I disagree with u on just 1 pt ... And that is Ipkknd is a one of a kind of show which ran on the enduring and endearing love of Arshi and amazing Sarun chemistry ... In that scenario it is difficult to hold the interest of fans without the amazing screen presence of Barun , the actor , and ASR , the character ... Do it will die a miserable death with trps going really really low ... It has been such an amazing show that for it to b taken off for lack of trps will just not be right ...instead I feel complete the story with Arshi and then end it ... 2 months later start another story with same cast or same characters like Ipkknd 2 .. That way cast and crew is energized and channel is happy as it is getting the return on their Arshi/Sarun brand equity ...fans are happy they got good closure with Arshi 1 and maybe a good story with Arshi 2 ...
