Did Gul and team make ASR or was it Barun?

Who gets the credit for making ASR the man all of us are in love with?

Is it Gul who conceptualised him?

The directors who created him?

The CVs who etched him?

Or Barun who portrayed him?

While it is true that all of them get credit for the magic of ASR, let us look at how much impact an actor has

A poor or mediocre actor can completely destroy a story and character no matter how well written it is

An Umrao Jaan with Rekha was a classic, and the remake was a damp squib

An excellent actor can make even an ordinary script dazzle, just by the sheer force of their

personality

So many of Amitabh Bachchan's later movies are examples of this

Even today Amitabh or Amir Khan can elevate ordinary scenes to iconic levels just by their talent

The reverse is unfortunately not true

Poor presentation will dilute even the best written scenes

I am not by any means placing Barun in the same league as Amitabh or Amir

He has a long long way to go before his name can be taken in the same sentence as these icons

He has lots to learn and accomplish before that

But in his depiction of ASR, he has certainly created magic

He has shown a potential to one day be able to attain the same league

He has made ASR fascinating, mysterious, magical, desirable, loveable, yet very very flawed and imperfect

He has played a very very complex character almost perfectly

I have not seen , on Indian TV ever, and in Bollywood rarely, such a real and believable portrayal of a character

So to me , while GUL and team certainly deserve credit for creating ASR

It is Barun who has created the magic of ASR

It is Barun who has made ASR

as much as ASR has made Barun

To take away credit from Barun is not fair.

It is he who made it happen on screen!!

he was never famous before as an actor.. thru this show he is.. hence all the credit goes to the creators and the entire team to bring him to this level of popularity and towards the end ditching all team for his selfish needs.. hats off to Barun🤡

I think it's gul, barun and director and sanaya too, it's the whole. Thing for me. Actor can spoil the characters but then at the end of the day there aredirector and script writer r their to sve it, but if storygoesbad then nobody can save it hence. It's in the below. Order

I will give Gul credit to create a character on paper
i will give Barun credit to make that character a reality '
i will give credit to director who showed it through his lense th character of asr

sorry, but I disagree with you there,

All things being equal, any other actor would not have created this magic

Two leaving and wanting to move on - not a crime

so no bashing Barun please

Agree.. Barun made the character of ASR real and magical

Agree with you on that

the whole package fine

But end of the day - its barun who brought the magic in

Barun is one of greatest of Actors and acting with his lead Sanaya...Both complimented each other and brought out the very best in the both of them... He was most comfortable with Sanaya as both are very professionals and just awesome actors...hence Barun gave his best and through his performance only, ASR was created...

Agree with you.

Its like when a student does well in an exam, the school, teachers, parents all deserve a share of the credit, but when it comes to it, it is the student who gets the real credit, because if he doesnt put his heart and soul into it, all comes to naught

Or if a sportsman doesnt play well in the actual match, all the coach's effort, the facility, the training is meaningless

same way end of the day if the actor doesnt deliver, nothing else has any value

So to me the actor deserves the lions share of the credit
