I never thought there would be a day I would be here to speak for Barun on the last day of this show
I never bothered posting about Barun earlier bcause I was not a drooler and not a fan girl. I was more interested in what ASR did to Khushi
I joined the forum to defend Khushi, because at that time she was the underdog, she was the one needlessly accused and unfairly discussed
Today I feel the same for Barun. It is my empathy for the underdog which brings me here.
What did he do?
Chose a film over the show? (I am waiting for Balaji tele films to announce it. But assuming this is true)
So none of you out there accusing him change jobs? Think of your life? Move on?
Why one standard for you and one for him?
Because he is popular? He is a star? He is not speaking for himself? He is not talking straight?
Say, two months from now, the show ends, and he is out on the streets
I want to know will the same set of people bashing him, even care what he is doing to fend for himself and his family?
So the logic is, he can be jobless but he cant make a life for himself
And who are saying this?
People who have a life of their own
Jobs of their own
Who can change jobs any time
Being a public figure does not deny him the right over his own life
There is another section screaming he lied to them
Excuse me
Does this mean none of you have lied in your life?
He owes the truth to his friends, family and co stars
To the fans he said he is leaving
What, why and where is no one's business but his own
So you have a right to your privacy and your plans but he doesn't?
After 13 years in corporate life, let me assure you when a person leaves a job and takes up another offer, they always keep things under wraps till the 11th hour
I have done it many times to avoid needless questions. Many I know have. Those in ciorporate life know what I am talking about
And there is one more section behaving as if he has wronged them
Really?
He left a show
Whatever be the reasons they are his reasons
He worked for 18 months on this show
Gave us countless hours of his life
Double shifted with a movie
Where is the thank you for that?
Because you think he slogged for money and all this effort thing for audience is nonsense
So now he has decided to slog for more money, you should not have a problem
If you think he was in this show for money, then there is no reason to feel wounded if he left for more money
But if you think he loved the show and worked for it, then there will be some appreciation too along with bashing
So if he does not get a thank you,
Such an audience also does not deserve him to stay back
Another section blaming him for Sanaya's tears
Really?
Sanaya herself has always spoken of him in high regard
She blames the fans and not Barun (which is also weird because star plus and 4 lions could not handle the business pressure)
And even if we agree he is to blame
He still owes an apology to his costars and not us
We are not the moral police who can hang him for daring to choose to leave a show
Which he wanted to leave
Everyone hs a right to job satisfaction and growth
How is Barun an exception?
There is this famous Rafi song in Pyaasa which says
'Ek hath se deti hai duniya (The world gives with one hand)
Dono hathon se le leti hai (Takes away with both hands)
Yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai (What is the point of getting such a world)
So today if some section of his fandom have ruined him with excessive adulation
Another section have ruined him with excessive attention
And one more section have ruined him by enjoying his acting without accepting him as a human being
Just a small section remains which wishes
Barun the human being does well in his life
Because Barun the human being did not ask for anything except to do his job and entertain his audience and give his role everything, which he did till the 11th hour
So, I would say,
Go Barun Go
Live your life and your dreams
And away from fans who cannot wish you anything good
Though you entertained them for 18 months
Because those who appreciate your work
Will always be there with you in all your ventures
PS: I know many of my own friends will not like this post
But at present I am speaking as a human being
And what I feel for another human being and his rights
