I stand by Barun...as always - Page 11

Hi

Great post. Agree completely. I never heard Barun say anything other than "I am leaving because I need a break". I don't understand why people are saying that he gave contradicting interviews. He did not reveal about his future movie offers for obvious reasons.

Even if we fans were absolutely clear about the fact that Barun is leaving by his own free will...and not being forced to leave...and even if he would have confirmed he is leaving for movies...even then it would not have changed our stand that we wanted a happy arhi ending. All the calls and petitions to SP was to prevent them from ruining the arhi love story. We could not tolerate Arnav dying and having a new guy for khushi. If we would not have had the conspiracy theories even then we would have reacted the same way. We love Arnav & Khushi too much. The protests were for Arhi...and nothing to do with WHY Barun was leaving. Do you think we would have accepted the death of Arnav and new man for khushi if we knew that Barun left for movies? The answer is NO right? Then why does it matter WHY he left? He wanted a break and try his luck in movies. No one can blame him for this.

He did not want the show to end...in his sbs interview he said he has full faith that the writers can continue the show without him. It is us fans who had lost all faith in the writers for good reason. Most if us were watching only for Sarun...and if one leaves then we had nothing to look forward to and so we asked to end the torture. Yes it had become a torture to watch the show. I don't know about others but I am glad they ended the show while it still resembled a little with what it was originally.

same here, will always stand by Barun no matter what !!!

great post...much needed post as well

very well said thank you so much

😃 I missed this post ..you said it all my dear friend...brilliantly put👏 Why does an actor needs to justify his career decisions to anyone ..? He stated his personal reasons for quitting.. Why people want him to say certain things that they like to hear from him.. I have never seen this kind of behavior or name calling for any other actor who has left serial in mid way and yes there have been many instances like that..When a producer doesnt necessarily feel apologising or giving clarification about the open letter which stated story ran out of course..why should an actor clarify his leaving.. and when did he lie..? As per I can see, he is saying the same thing which he said in start of fiasco...that he needs a break... As told you dear before...these people who spend their valuable time on decoding their interviews are the ones who actually gives him importance and then they blame his fans .. If I actually dont like a person, I wont go on hours talking about him either so it actually amuses me when people even come in barun's supporting posts or praising posts to mock people ... Thanks dear for sensible post😊

You said my thoughts exactly

Nice post ! Good Questions!

I know I'm opening myself up for bashing, name calling, and what not...going by experience that's what happens in India Forum's IPKKND forum if you stand by Barun Sobti. You're automatically put in that generic category of droolers/phangirls who apparently have nothing functioning between their two ears. What the heck...I've never cared about the opinions of people who don't know me..why start now? the reason I have opened this thread is to ask just few questions...which have been bothering me since Nov 30th and the incessant ridiculing and bashing of the person called Barun Sobti and eulogizing Gul Khan and everyone attached to the show but Sobti.

How come you guys never asked Gul Khan why 4Lions' official account and FB page first endorsed Zee-News' news about Sobti leaving on the september 21st weekend and then took the 'mommy told us not to talk to strangers' excuse and promised some news after a week which never came? Did Barun force them to do that? If an employee (Barun) wants to leave and gives a 2 month notice...when is leaving a job a crime? Have all of you held on to the job you're not fully satisfied with forever ? And is that the right behavior of an employer(Gul Khan as 4Lions confirmed on IF that she's in touch with Zee_News person) to Leak the news?

Or should they have cared enough to write something in those two months to ease his character out..and introduce a leap to next generation with Sanaya still the lead with some other guy? All of us would have been fine with that. Instead all hogwash tracks were introduced post remarriage on Septmber 28th .What could be the reason? Please someone tell me that ...I've still not been able to understand why there was no honeymoon, no talk about their 1st realization of love or about Babuji ?
BTW I think QH premiered on Zee end of October. Co-incidence much? And if you know the industry you can see he and the whole cast (Karan had repeatedly said Barun's not leaving until the week when Barun confirmed about his leave after SBS broke the news) was under a gag order until the SBS broke the news in November.

I always wondered why the same PH who gave no spoiler about the most awaited Arnav-Khushi consummation (which would have attracted the audience like Teri Meri spoiler did)...but gave the ASR death spoiler over the week leading to SPL or that weekend(sorry cant remember the time)...leading to a viewer backlash frenzy who already had been calling for happy Arnav-Khushi ending? Intelligent acts of a desperate PH wanting to extend the life of the show which, in their official Forum they openly declared, 'has run its course'??

And we blame Barun for his unprofessional-ism? Which part was it? Him giving 2 month notice? Him sitting down with his employer giving 'interview' to clear her image or him being consistent in saying that he wanted to take a break to spend time with his family...which by the way is exactly what he's been doing. And he's an actor. If he signs a movie (which is starting in April) or takes up another project what is wrong with that? If 4Lions could lose interest in IPK and started slow killing the story since introduction of Daadi's character.and moved on to another show on another network...that is ok because they are the ones whose brilliant vision brought in IPK...? But Barun is to be blamed for the show closure just because the channel put up a disclaimer blaming him (which they stood by so well that they withdrew it on international telecast the very next day) ? So Gul and team kare to saat khoon maaf and Barun, the unprofessional actor who did nothing to make ASR the larger than life character he was, needs to be publicly lynched... for what really? For not wanting to continue when he felt he didn't want to...? Iss biased expectation ka kya naam doon?

So Sobti I endorse your "I dont need to justify myself". Haq hai mera as a fan, as a believer in you...if that makes me a drooler or phangirl so be it.

Break a leg Barun Sobti!


P.S. Sorry gals I'll read and respond tonight our time...as it's AD work time for me here..I can't join the discussion as the colorful banner on to attracts unwanted 'corporate attention'😳..please continue...

thanks for the lovely post dear ! 😊
