Rediff Barun Interview

The film has been much delayed. Was it frustrating to wait so long for your first film?

No. My job was done and I know I will get my due. loved this confidence, I think he had seen the advance screening, & knew that even though movie is a bomb, he was satisfied with his effort.

Producers don't get the desired slots to release films and sometimes there are delays due to editing and dubbing.

I was excited about shooting for the film, but now I am anxious about the release and the response.

How difficult was is it to move to films when you were very popular on television?

I didn't leave TV for films; I left it due to health issues.

I wasn't keeping well and I was losing weight due to the long working hours.

I signed Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon only for a year. But the producer requested me to stay on as the show had just started to make money.

I carried on and in the process, the character became very popular.I loved this response of Barun, he didn't say I became popular... even though he as the Actor who made the character popular.

When I finally gave up, changing the actor for that character was difficult so the show ended.

Your fans were quite upset when you quit the show.

Yes. The makers and I had to create a video to clarify things. I try to stay away from all this as far as I can, as it can drive you crazy.

Any funny fan incident you would like to share?

There are so many, I am writing a script on how funny a television actor's life can be.

There was this one time when my wife was trying out some footwear in a shopping mall. A family was standing in front of the shop and discussing whether it's me or someone else.

I sat with my head down and started checking my phone. Suddenly, a kid slides in and says, Wohi hai, wohi hai!' and runs out. That was hilarious.

awesome interview ...totally barun lyk

barun never gave himself d credit to make arnav such a poplar character , he has always said dat its d writing because of which d character is such a big hit

i agree dat arnav was awesomely drafted but executing an awesomely written character is also very important

his movie is the biggest example dat justify my statement ...all the characters were great on papers but (as we all r guessing, cauz d story looked promising) but wat failed was d execution both from directors side and side actors side ...only thing which worked was barun and his character

so barun should now start giving himself some credit ...

though we lov his humbleness ...n den barun imagine y do we call him humble
