Well not just the bad quality but the absolute lack of professionalism. Who leaks news of actors quitting onto a forum!!!
And not a single official comment about anything ever...even though they claim to be so connected to their on-line fans.
The only official communication being that the show had run its course.!!!!!



The forum has video media. Their official response was always a Facebook wall message. The interview which adult Barun agreed to do do, was done to reach the most people and it was done with mutual agreement. I don't understand all the bile. As I said, no winners here. The PH shoulders the blame on many quality counts, but Gul didn't deserve to be called a bitch for Barun's personal decision to leave. That is my point.

Thank you for making this post! I was reading through the various posts & couldn't decided where I wanted to post my comments.

I feel that Barun's lack of PR skills have truly shot him in the foot. He has not been able to handle this situation from day 1.

If this had been a normal situation, he should have said I'm taking a break from TV and will pursue other projects at a later time. Right now I would like to take some time for my personal life. And he should have walked away.

But this was in no way a normal situation. Everything got out of hand. People were bombarding SP offices demanding they retain him. And SP was right "How can we retain him, if he wants to leave".

I love your statement regarding SRK! Getting to the point that SRK has achieved takes a lot of sacrifices. When you achieve stardom you have a lot of responsibility that comes with it. It can not just be about you & your personal life. You do owe the viewers a clear cut explaination about why your leaving the show.

Look at Amitabh Bachan. He has been in the industry for 40 years and always makes a point of meeting his fans outside of his home every Sunday that he is there. He knows without his fans he would be nothing. He has always balanced his personal life, career & fans with such grace. He realizes that fans are a part of him and who he is. There is so much fame within his family and they have always worked together to be a united family.

And here Barun is stating that his family is upset with him that he hasn't been there for them? What did they expect when he joined the indusrty? A 9-5 job? He used to always maintain that his family supported him unconditionally. At least with a TV show you get to remain in one city. With movies you never know how often you have to travel for shoots. Once again I will point out another celebrity who balances family & career, Akshay Kumar. He makes so many movies in one year where he is traveling all over the globe, but that's what sacrifice is within this indusrty.

I do wish Barun the best but I'm not sure if he's cut out for this indusrty. He needs to buckle down and figure what he wants and learn how to address the media. Being in the spot light isn't always pretty and you need to learn how deal with the good & the ugly.


i loved ur post Nid, u nailed it.

i completly agree...fans has put him in a high pedestrial...now his true journey will begin...ifever he lost the battle then,he will be the only loser...film industry is the place where actors would give everythg to reach stardom...many respects their work and some take it for granted...its unfortunate that those who take it for granted for the glamerous world type of actors they only succeed sometimes...whatever there is one thing is sure mr barun sobti is one hell of an intelligent person...point,the blame doesn't goes to anyone only to MISUNDERSTANDING...
UTTER RUBBISH
one more thing about SSRK...barun can never reach him as srk knows how to respect his fans not barun
shah rukh khan always give credit to viewers not personal relationship...
shah rukh is a man who is A TRUE PROFESSIONAL AND RESPONSIBLE MAN.
being a fan of srk,i simply believe barun can never reach him.

Thanks for this post.
I have voiced out a number of times that both 4lions and BS need and have needed PR help since BS took his first break for his movie. This whole IPKKND mess would not have reached these heights if that were the case.
As you rightly pointed out, the job world will most unfortunately view BS as someone who cannot finish the job as he has sorrily not been able to put his view point across in the right way and at the right time.
But 4lions also have been completely clueless as to how to handle the situation. they were not able to fathom or appreciate the heights that IPKKND reached, offered too little too late and it all backfired. Their own reputation has also taken another bashing if you ask me and that 'open letter' on Forum 32 was just one total catastrophe.
For 4lions and BS - may your works speak louder than your words but please please do get yourself professional PR management ASAP!

The people here who called gul names,bashed 4 lions endlessly , sprouted conspiracy theories are the kind of people who cant see the truth if its dancing in front of them..it was clear from day 1,barun wanted to leave and not the ph who wanted him go..but so called sources came up with all the stories which created so much negativity..but i guess there is a portion of them who are seriously delusional,they are still calling and bashing sp asking for show with barun and sanaya,which in this lifetime will not happen..i dont think gul gives even a rats ass to the people who called her names...those people have zero knowledge of how the tv industry works..you cant change the ph of a serial and sp seems to be in good relation with 4 lions,guls reputation in the tv industry is intact,thats why she has top actors like ksg in her new serial..if you are talented no one can take that away from you..and empty vessels make the most noise

Even Gul is equally to be blamed for this fiasco..it was her responsibility to come out and give a joint media interview and clear the air instead of leaking information through some media person who doesnt know how to handle things...she tries to do it the easy way and got bashed...though I dont approve the way she was bashed...but she is not completely absolved of her blame...she was the one who had the power to handle this well and give a smooth transition..she failed to do that...as much as Barun requires PR skills...even Gul need sthem...see Ekta and other top PH how they handle their actors quitting!
