I am a new fan of Barun Sobti and don't know much about him. I would really appreciate if his older fans can share things about him. There are so many articles out there and most of them contradict each other. So, please help :)

ok ,what do you want to know ashley .
i would like to help you
ok about barun ,
his personal life :
He is from delhi normal middle class guy .He never thought he would be an actor .He actually wanted to be a football coach .He studied till his twelfth standard then due to his families financial constraints opted for working in a telecom company .
He fell in love with his wife pashmean when he was about 14 years .
They studied in the same school . She went australia after her schooling . They were in long distance relationship for 5 years .
proffesional life



Barun used to do part time modelling when he came to mumbai .He and Anuj (Who was his roommate for 3 years ) were good friends .
He bagged ford figo add while doing this .
ad links : 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLsLCagsuLI
2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpXMuMokBEg
His first show was shradda aired in star plus (2009)
He was a villain or anti hero in the show .it ran for 80 episodes . It flopped
opp : neha jenpandit
dil mill gaye (2009)
then barun was in cinevastaas auditioning . He auditioned for the role of Dr siddhant modi . He was approved by the creatives of cine vastaas too but stars creative team did not agree for it and he was cast as Dr . RAJ.
it was the role of a drug addict ,sidey role . He was good at it . He lost the role to one of his school mates karan wahi .
links :http://www.hotstar.com/tv/dill-mill-gayye/405
start in the 12/13the season .
dr raj

while he was doing this ,producer lady of cinevastaas ,a very gracious lady ,she felt he was underutilised recomended him to the producers of BAAT HAMARI PAKKI HAIN in sony opposite ankita .(2010-2011)
it was sonys first attempt in fiction .
it had really good trps ,infact BHPH was the show on which the channel drew income from .
so ,this was his first success .
His chemistry with ankita was really good too .
the show established him as a male lead material .
the most important part was he formed real good bond with director late waseem sabur .
His character was a goofy character shravan with lots of grey shades .
It clicked soo well with the audience that he was nominated for best actor award in sony and the casting people in star who rejected him selected him for asr 1 .
More than all these barun used to say that team appreciated him by clapping for him when he performed each scene . His friend karan wahi did a cameo in BHPH
links : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUfIwJ0cfY4&list=PL0A195A455D17063D

1 .his granny passed away
2. he married his wife pashmean
the show shut down because the ph had other shows to look after .
but barun bagged the role of asr 1

Thanks dear. I want to know who are his parents, does he have any siblings? where did he study? did he went to college? why did he decided to come into dramas? how many dramas, web series, movies he has done so far?, who is his wife, how many kids he has got? what are his likes and dislikes e.g. what his favourite colour?, what is his favourtie fruit?, Is he closer to his mom or dad, is he on twitter/instagram/facebook or Indian forums? Is his wife presenton any of these social websites? where does he live permanently? is there anyway to pass on my best wishes to him?

His friend didn't wanna act in one show and asked Barun if he wanted to go for audition. He passed that audition acted in a show titled Shradhdha ( 2009). He played a negative role who tricked the heroine to fall for him so that he can take her property. He later falls in love with the girl and tells her the truth. The show was not a hit.

Then he played a Drug addict in a doctor show , he was noticed for his good acting.

Then in 2010 , he played a irresponsible spoilt son with a good heart in Baat Hamari Pacci Hai. His role was comical. He proved himself as a comedy actor and many people took notice of him. His fanclubs started growing at that time. You can find all the episodes of BHPH on youtube

Then he starred as Arnav Singh Raizada ( 2011-2012) . He played a reclusive tycoon who was damaged in childhood bcos of his parents unnatural death. He becomes more interested in money than romantic relations. His life starts changing when he meets and falls in love with a girl names Khushi. He later finds out Khushi's aunt is responsible for his parent's death. This show made him an international star. Hotstar has all the episodes.

He acted in several movies .. Main aur Mr. Riight ( available on netflix ) 2014.
Short film ...Dry Dream ( available on youtube)
Satro ko saadi hai ( not released )
TU hai mera Sunday ( available in theaters right now ) 2017
Webseries Tanhaiyaan ( 2017) check hotstar .
He shot for another movie 22 Yards .. Will be released in 2018

His recent tv show was IPKKND3 ( which you probably have seen ) it's available on hotstar .

In every show his acting was praised . There is no doubt that he is the best actor on small screen right now. He got offers to do many shows and movies but he only chose the ones where his character can is interesting and story is good. He never went after money of fame . That's why u see him in small budget films. His fans love him not because he is good looking and a good actor ..but he is a phenomenal human being. Honest , down to earth , loyal , no air of stardom. You will not regret being a fan of this man.

A football coach. That's interesting.In his new movie isn't he looking for a place to play football? it must be easier for him to do the scenes where he needed to play the football. I wish we could watch him play football in a drama.

His real love story is so sweet. A guy willing to wait for his girlfriend for 5 years. Okay, my respect for him went up another notch. Its so good to see real love stories.

Did he shoot any advertisements during his modelling days and any idea where can I get his old pictures?

He played a villain?😲. Now, I want to see this drama. I hope I can find old links.

A villain and then, a drug addict. He certainly makes his fans addicts, such a villain he is!😆

I am really surprised that he has worked in so many projects already. I am going to look for all these dramas one by one.I will probably see the movies first as they are smaller. Has he done any theater work or radio show?

I am bit shallow as I fell for his looks and acting first but I am trying to know more about him since he seems like someone worth knowing about.

Thank you for helping me out.

So, he is on twitter. It's just so confusing I read somewhere he is not on social media,then I read someone tagged him in a tweet and I was confused. He seems like a hard working person. His wife is really nice and he is lucky to have such a devoted wife.

He did only one theater ...do phool, ek Mali ...it only had a few showing in Dubai

He is very very different from other actors in personal life ...he never had girl friends other than his wife , he is an avid reader... He is intellectually superior to most other actors but doesn't show off like others ... I didn't think he was good looking when I first saw him, but I fell for a shallow thing too ...his English accent ... He worked in a telecommunication company and seems like he picked up a very nice English accent ( a mixture of British and American twangs ) that I love and that is very very very shallow of me ...I'm just being honest

He humor is sarcastic , so no ...he is not on radio or doesn't do anchors or DJ stuff... He is so dry in his humor that it wouldn't be appreciated by mass on radio .. He seems more comfortable expressing himself in English than Hindi ( which helps me cos I'm not Indian ) ... He is terrible in dancing but he has a decent singing voice ... He is a genuinely nice guy and that's why he has sooo many followers

Other than being a fabulous actor, he is a really, really nice person and is known to have an impeccable work ethic. He doesnt show any airs and graces and is really down to earth. He also has a fantastic group of friends that include Sanaya Irani (costar from season 1), Mohit Sehgal (sanayas husband), Gautam Hegde (writer of IPK 1), Akshay Dogra (costar from s1) and akshays wife, Ridhi dogra and Raqesh Bapat and Daljeet Kaur (costar from s1). Daljeet calls him her brother because he stood by her when she was going through a terrible divorce from an abusive husband. Other than that,I dont think anyone has anything bad to say about him. He is very real and always says that he doesnt run after money because he wants to do work which makes him happy. He has been offered multiple roles by huge production houses but he didnt take them up because he didnt feel satisfied because of the environment or something. So, for him, its not about doing a big budget show or movie, its more about personal satisfaction that he achieves from his work. Other than that, he's very, very private about his personal life so doesnt use social media other than twitter (which he only started to use for THMS promotions). If you get a chance to watch THMS, youl see that the character he is portraying is pretty much like him in real life.
I personally like Barun as a human being first then as an actor. I have generally never had celebrity crushes because I used to feel that they are just illusions. Its very often that what people portray themselves to be, they are not that in real life but Barun is seriously a class apart. He is as real as it gets.

Oh, and he LOVES reading books and his favourite cricketer is Sachin Tendulkar. Other than that, he is a foodie too. All in all, I think very few people are like him in this world and when i listen t him in interviews, I feel hope that if he can stay contented and happy then I can too.
