Indi I agree with you that when Barun acted the character of ASR, he gave a picture of some 70s hero. Acting is a hidden talent in him which even he is unaware how deep is present.
I have been following Barun since he acted in his drama" Shraddaha" and "Baat humari pakki hai". Barun progressed in his acting skills but I wasn't so sure until I watched him IPKKND. I have my doubts and wasn't so sure to watch IPKKND if the story didn't proved to be strong and Barun n sanaya not performing up to the mark. But what happened next was totally opposite,Barun and sanaya played a sixer with fabulous entry and gives a five star rated performance. The first episode is the most magical for me because there Khushi landed in the arms of her future and Arnav meeting a girl who will make sure that her presence do matter. An innocent boy who lost his heart his heart after watching his mother suiciding, his heart began beating again as soon Khushi penetrated in his dormant heart through his eyes, but he can't allow that. His eyes spoke of indifference and scared away Khushi.
Barun's acting throughout the whole drama was fabulous but the scene I love and which for me clearly depicts his acting skills, character and nature of ASR was episode 24 and promo no. 4. I don't know why I still like a lunatic watch this episode and promo.
Even in teasers he acted brilliantly giving the description of the vast and deep character of Arnav.
Hamarey kapre hamain banatey hain. Our dress presents who we are.
Showing he is a materialistic guy
Jazbbat ka koi mool nahin. Khareed lo us admi ko.
He believe in empowering others using money and making circumstances easily in favour of him. Saying sorry is the hardest task for him and morals don't matter neither emotions have any value, what matters is only money.
My favourite promo no. 4
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gadEZTz_B14[/YOUTUBE]
Chah kar bhi main tum se door kyun nahin reh pati,
Shyad mera dil tumhain hi pukarta hai
Par in ankooh main nafrat dikhai deti hai
Kyun key muhabbat in main dard ban kar rehti hai
Kaash main tum se nafrat kar pati
Kaash main tum se muhabbat kar pata.
The dreamy looks appeared on Arnav's face as his heart spoke that he yearns for Khushi. And then fury took him and he gave an angry look to Khushi, his eyes speaking indirectly to stay away and avoid crossing his way, showing indifference. Stepping over the papers stating that she don't exist and neither she matters. But then chocolate brown eyes with guilt clearly shone in them sneakily watched Khushi. Love is a curse for him n this heavenly feeling lies as pain in his eyes.
I wish I could love you.
He is helpless, confused and can't name what is going on between them because somewhere he knew that it is love but he can't accept it and in frustration he folded their only picture he had. Standing in rain, his tears mixing in rain for being impotent n heart wishing if he could love Khushi. During this whole teaser it was only Arnav eyes which were concentrated, I used to think why? Then I got the answers because eyes are the reflection of heart and Barun perfectly did this fantastic job of making his eyes speaking volumes.
The same eyes did the magic in episode 24.
Khushi is somehow getting successful in bewitching Arnav Singh Raizada to whom no girl matter, espacially Khushi.
No matter how much he scream this statement that she hold no significance in his life, no matter how much he control himself he is getting seduced from Khushi. And that's why he will do anything to make her leave from his life
He broke her pearl dori, tore away his dupatta, left her hand to dropped her down, force her for shoot in red saree and make her stand in parking lot during heavy rain. He is following every trick in his book of being a Rakshash but not at the cost of her life. He is confused because for the first time he is questioning himself that is he doing right? His heart says NO but mind said YES. In this tug of war mind won.
Arnav Singh Raizada is always right and he don't care of anyone.
The scene was brilliantly shot but Barun's acting added more charm to it. I am really impressed from his performance and utter dedication to it. I can't find enough words to describe his intense and exceptional performance. I can write a long essay on this. It's not about a particular scene, each and every scene of this love saga showcase a facet of this rare actor, not only him even all other actors count in this.



javeira,

wo... that was a sixer, straight over my head and hit every bit of me, still spinning the force with which it hit.

👏 👏 👏 😃 👏 😭 👏 😳 👏 👏 👏 🤗 🤗 🤗

i want to jump with joy and excitement and hug you. may i.

thank you for this fabulous post. please write whenever the mood takes you. bftp is always more than happy to have you as is this whole forum i am sure.

i have read it twice already. will read again.

that's true ipk love. and i fall for it har baar.

i too saw him in shraddha first and knew there was this thing in him... i could never look away if he was on screen.

the x factor, for the lack of a better word, was already there.

the acting grew, but yes, even i was not ready to believe he could be that suave young man golfing and acting cool, the promos were hinting at. no hindi tv actor i was sure could get it... none. so i did not watch the drop into tyhe arms unfortunately. but after i got struck by the two over diwali, of course i went again and again and saw all those episodes. more than once. 😆

epi 1 is stnning. i have not yet written seriously about it... it is still brewing in me. some day i'd love to write about it.

for me in that episode were born asr and kkg, no doubt about it.

absolutely agree with you, the very moment he set eyes on her he felt something... she disrupted, cut through, call it what you will, his bariier. this barrier was not built for fun, but by a boy shattered, himself almost dead at the moment his beloved mother took her life... or died tragically. in her death the story of his father who played with girls... a man galat.

he needed his fort, his walls to survive. it was essential.

she breached that.

and yes along with the barrier in him, grew a need to be "sahi" not galat like his father... oh 24... main sahi hoon. he was doing things his conscience couldn't agree with to this girl... just to drive her away... because he felt vulnerable without that shield, he couldn't admit emotion into his life,. they make you weak... they are for the weak... he is strong, he has to be strong... he must survive... so wondrously every bit of asr barun conveyed...




the man in anguish as he drives away, he has felt something as he saw that girl drenched, when he had to come running and save her, when he's gripped her shoulder hard not being able to let go... he knows what he is doing is not really right, but he has to do it... that breaking up in the car, then coming out, why for the first time i get the feeling i am wrong... then the drawing together of all his thoughts, his being, a few steps forward he stands in the rain, letting the elements crash over him, feet apart firmly planted, head slightly bent, hardened jaw and a gaunt tense face (how barun played with his facial muscles)... lips taut... eyes in another space, taking guard, reinforcing the walls around and in him, him, asr... main sahi hoon.

without even seeing the episode, so much sticks in me.

promo 4, so so beautiful your description of it deserves a read by all. yes, she doesn't matter, yet he must look back and his eyes say why am i getting seared so... i the rain he stands, wanting needing and feeling terrible, his heart in a mess... you can feel it. he is all heat and burn... she is curiosity, wonder and a sadness... such superb story telling.

where are these people.

thanks again... maza aa gaya. 😃

As i am re-watching IPK these days, i am amazed at how ASR is still so lively and riveting. With due credit to the writing, it's the earnest, profound portrayal that makes ASR so alive. yes...it's the acting, really.
what else do i say, just missing him onscreen!


sree,

seeing you after so long... 🤗 how are you? thanks for reading. and you're watching again? i wish i knew how to stop watching... 😆😆

missing them me too. thanks so much for reading and liking it.

oh riti,

after such a long time i am reading you write with that uncontrollable love for asr. junoon it was, for me too and i didn't want it to end. everr.

i thank you for this secret revealing. but you know i do remember you saying your mum had forbidden you to come here for a while. yes i do.

every word you write touches me. i feel them all. i have chatted with you enough at one time to know how deep your feelings were, how moved you were. remember you fought with the whole world for asr?

he was real... in some plain, somewhere he did exist.

and when you do find the love of your life what we felt here will i am sure give you insights that never getting carried away would never have.

i also thought for the longest time i was watching for the zing, the chemistry, the looks... i couldn't find a reason for this heady addiction i felt... and then his heart broke on a dark terrace... i cried inside, my heart flipped and stilled and i wanted to just watch in awe as a young actor did heartbreak like i'd never seen before... it was like a river flowing through me in those moments as he turned away, a river that went all around me, got my clothes wet, entered my nose ears and eyes and finally enveloped me, i felt the water rise and cover my head, an undercurrent pull me in... i wanted to just let it take me wherever it went. i wanted the eyes to focus and somehow come out of the pain... yet i didn't. there before me was a thing of beauty.

a character in the delineation of a supreme actor really somewhere helps us discover ourselves, understand the human being. our emotions, passions, follies, strengths.


🤗 ofcourse nothing is a secret here for u.. Oh now i found it funny though..bt its so true..i fought so much for him.. n i just cherish our talks on him... 😃
@bold- how u do it..with ur words...u took me there again... Sigh I was thinking I moved on😒

Dear indi,

What a tribute to a fine actor ! I was never a TV serial person before... saw a few episodes of BHPH upto a point and then felt the story line wasn't so strong, pretty cliched in fact, and then I saw promos of IPK, recognized Barun from the last show and thought this new one should be interesting, what with the intriguing tagline...

The first scene where I was hooked by his style was the one with Anjali where he says that if he ever met with the girl, the saansein roknewali types, he'd just stay away ! The trademark BS-ASR smirk and the 'unbelievable' before that had already left me gasping!

And there was no looking back after that... I would wait for scenes with subtlety, I believe those really were his forte, given he's got this huge range of expressions and a pair of eyes that needed no lambi dialogues. If the initial ASR melting scenes until Diwali got us hooked for the romance that literally floored us and had mature women drooling, he truly stood out from the current crop of actors with the fark padta hai track.

And there was no let up after that, he never let it flail, in every episode he portrayed ASR's complex character and his conflicting emotions with pin point accuracy. That iconic middle of the road scene where runs after the ambulance made me feel could he be better? So he turns around and gives us another scene of ASR's breakdown and the hilltop rescue and the reunion scene! I mean, I can't stop listing!

Another facet was the voice modulation and the English accent, dilli amriki or otherwise, it was impressive because he made it seem so effortless. The modulation, what can I say...Just picture this: Its a few episodes after the ' I hate you 'exchange, it's holi, they are not even on civil terms, she's had bhang and almost blurted the secret of their wedding to Naniji and then he appears in white shirt and jeans, looks right into her eyes and goes, "Khushi, kisi ko yeh janna zarrori nahin hai ki jab hum akele hai thab kya karte hain!" Boing ! That's just my heart hitting the roof or my jaw hitting the floor!

Its true what you say indi, he's given us so much pleasure with his work, such enormous commitment to the character that he became ASR and made us feel that he's alive, to the extent that we could say," Nah ! That's not ASR!" Such talent will find success and more than that, recognition.

Thanks for providing a place to wax lyrical about Barun!


msserialfan, 😃

first, thanks for reading.

and more, such a lovely account... thanks for that.

i too couldn't stay with baat seriously... the story never touched me... but every time i saw.. the boy did... even when he was not well groomed, looking a bit strange often.

oh all those scenes you mention and your falling point... unbelievable. delightful. yeah jaws hitting floor, heart flipping, ears heating and shooting off into space...many verbs got going this side of tv too while watching.

i love what you say about subtlety, that was it. insight, depth, and the most subtle nuanced exploration.. rare acting... on any screen., anywhere. this intensely subtle touch... have i really seen it anywhere else? socheka padi.

ha ha dilli amriki accent. me lub. the boy grew up in a neighbourhood famous for its "intrrrusting". teehee.

that line during holi... 208 i think. i am watching it today, i am already quaking at the thought of the voice.

yes, we knew what was and what wasn't asr. on bftp right now we are warring over whethera bike was por ws not him...

one year and more the show is over.

says something, na?

thanks so much.

hi ankii,

that's it. had he not portrayed asr with a depth of feeling and understanding, we would have hated him. imagine, would we ever forgive a man who'd drop a girl, call her names, then drag her and marry her against her will, no explanation, nothing? yet we all fell for asr and felt his heart and soul... some acting by barun sobti. i see some actors struggle with this sort of tricky characters, they usually fail.
