How do I know this? I infered this logically by putting some points together.
1) Barun's own lack of coherency when he failed to give a straigth forward answer, showes that he was not entirely sure about leaving; at least until mid October/ beginning o November. He was saying one thing in Gul's interview and a completely different statement in NK's interview. Maybe he was waiting until his movie offers were finalised, maybe the casting decissions were in limbo. so the moment the confirmation came, he quitted- as in he finally gave that curt nod.
2)The PH was prolonging the story, giving crappy tracks becuase they themselves were not sure what Barun's decision was. I refuse to believe the story writers would have given us sheetal track and Mrs Universe track had they known beforehand that Barun would be leaving. Im more than 100% certain that they would have come up with something better than what we were given.
So my conclussion is, he put down the papers after a lot of initial hasitency from his part.
coming to his interviews, a straight off 'I dont want to answer this question at the moment' would have served the purpose much better than saying "Im goign on a longish break"
He said that because he wanted to make sure he had the opening to come back to IPK if he wanted, but stick his finger in the bollywood pie at the same time. He wanted to have both options.
I guess had he been forthright, all these false rumor mongering would never have happened in the first place that led to fan rebels and he might have had that option of coming back to IPK had he wanted in the future.
whatever. It's his life.
